Seattle JazzED

Seattle JazzED Love music? There's a place for you here. JazzED started out with two jazz ensembles that met weekly.

Seattle JazzED is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, which was founded in 2010 by a small group of volunteers and music educators, who wanted kids to get great music education opportunities, regardless of what school they went to or how much money they had. Today over 500 students from 70+ different schools come through the doors every year. Seattle JazzED's year round music programs include big

band ensembles, vocal ensembles, special workshops and summer camps. We're known for innovative educational initiatives like the New Works Ensemble, the Girls Ellington Project and Summer Jazz Ambassadors. Sliding scale tuition and free loaner instruments are available for every single program. If you're still not sure where to start, contact us and we'll walk you through it.

“I see a lot of bonding in that class, and I think that's why it's so popular,” said Courtney Clark, program director for Seattle JazzED. “Parents are looking for opportunities to introduce something new to their children, but also have the opportunity to do it with them.”

At jazz nonprofit Seattle JazzED, an 8-week jazz class for children under 5 fosters musicality and parent-child bonding through playful exploration and live performance.
