To register for Jazzschool classes with no prerequisite or for Jazzschool workshops, please complete the application and mail it along with full tuition plus a non-refundable quarterly registration fee of $25. Students may also register by phone or in person. Enrollment is based on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be guaranteed without full payment. Students applying for classes that are full may be placed on a waiting list. The Jazzschool accepts checks (made payable to the Jazzschool), cash, VISA or MASTERCARD. To register for Jazzschool performance ensembles, or any class that has a prerequisite, please call the Jazzschool at 510.845.5373 for assistance with placement.

Placement Auditions for Performance Ensembles
Admission into performance ensembles is based on a placement audition or telephone consultation. Please see calendar for audition periods. Please call the Jazzschool to schedule an appointment.
Performance ensembles are open to students of all ages and all levels. Admission is based on a confidential, friendly 20-minute placement audition or telephone consultation to determine where students are best suited to play or sing. Placement auditions address students’ overall musicality, technical ability, stylistic preference(s) and availability.

Please note: With the exception of the fall quarter, students previously enrolled in a performance ensemble have the option of re-enrolling in that same class again on a consecutive quarterly basis within the academic year without having to re-audition. New students wishing to enroll in a performance ensemble in winter, spring and/or summer quarters must schedule a placement audition or telephone consultation and will be accepted on a “first-come, first-served,” “parts-available” basis.

Please note: All classes begin on time!

Jazzschool Faculty and Class Schedules
Given prestigious national and international performance and/or lecture opportunities that arise, Jazzschool Faculty, class offerings and/or class schedules may be subject to change. The Jazzschool makes every effort to provide its students with the optimal educational experience possible under these or any other circumstances at all times.

Refund Policy
Students wishing to drop a course from the time of registration up to 48 hours after their first class session will forfeit tuition for their first class plus the registration fee. Students wishing to drop a course thereafter must forfeit the entire course tuition. Registration fee and tuition for workshops are non-refundable. No exceptions please!
