Whenever kids have a real hands-on experience…
they get excited about jazz!
Taos Youth Music School
Taos Academy
Schoolhouse Jazz!
Music is the universal language– but jazz improvisation is something most kids don't get to hear very often. So an essential part of our mission is to find ways to get kids involved with jazz music and musicians early and as often as possible. To that end, we offer in-school music workshops and special youth concerts with visiting artists whenever possible.
Taos Jazz Bebop Society's Schoolhouse Jazz program was rolled out in 2022. Above are some highlights. It's exciting to see how engaged and interested these kids are when we can introduce them to jazz in ways that get them involved and connected. With support from donors interested in this part of our mission, there will be much more to come.
