Our Black History Month In-School Assemblies bring professional musicians and educators directly to your school for an interactive exploration of jazz as a vital Black American art form. Through live performance, storytelling, musical demonstrations, and student participation, students explore the people, history, creativity, and cultural traditions that shaped jazz. They will also discover how its influence continues throughout American music today.

This assembly is a live, interactive jazz experience for students across the greater Puget Sound region and is only available during the month of February. Space is limited, request an assembly today!

“JazzED is one of the biggest factors as to how I am right now.”⁠
⁠
Talli Kimani has been a part of the Seattle JazzED community for 14 years, discovering jazz for the first time in 6th grade. This past summer, he came back home as a music educator intern. ⁠
⁠
"Jazz is an amazing American art form," he says. "Being able to give back to the students and the community is really important to me." ⁠

This year JazzED is doing something different for our Fall Foundations Program: introducing Foundations: Jazz Fundamentals!

This program is for students who have completed Foundations Summer Camp or an equivalent introductory instrument class with basic technique and sound production skills. Students will improve their improvisation, listening, ensemble playing, and so much more!
