The Jazzschool Young Musicians Program is a comprehensive music education and performance program designed for instrumental and vocal students between the ages of 11 and 18. The Young Musicians Program has been at the center of the Jazzschool’s educational and artistic goals since the Jazzschool’s inception in 1997. Its curriculum provides students with the opportunity to work with professional jazz artists and educators, strengthening their performance skills, expanding their knowledge of jazz theory and improvisation, and learning more about the foundations of jazz and world music. Students participate in after-school classes, master classes with nationally known jazz artists, and are featured in public performances in venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and abroad.
