Jazz Education Community Coalition

Since its inception ten years ago, the organization's uniqueness comes in the form of nuance and opportunity.
The cost-effective workshop ($5 per session) is designed to build repertoire, develop performance and audition skills, and help musicians gain a better understanding, which will aid in the development of their love and ear for this music we call jazz. This skillset will not only help them grow as performers, but it will also build confidence as young men and women and hopefully, mentors.

The students have the opportunity to work with professional musicians and educators from the community. The importance of offering many different views gives the student a variety of ways to understand the same concepts.

Opportunity comes by way of practical application. Everything the musicians learn in the workshop is applied via performance. The members of the ensemble have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge in performances when possible.

Members of the JECC have been recipients of several awards, are in attendance, or have graduated from top music schools and conservatories. Many have become professional musicians who ultimately return to the organization as mentors.

Join us, watch us, support us! We are always open to new students looking to learn and grow, and new clinicians who are looking to make music and make a difference.
