Jazz Arts Academy provides personalized instruction, lessons in music theory and technique, jazz ensembles, and guidance from visiting clinicians. Each student has the opportunity to perform and learn about many aspects of jazz through hands-on performance-based classes, which includes improvisation, masterclasses, workshops, and listening sessions taught by a faculty of world-class working professional recording artists who are also dedicated educators. In this program, High School musicians are enabled to advance skills, connect with fellow musicians, and dive deeper into the world of jazz music.

“This is what our organization’s vision is about-–the pairing of young students with masters of the art form, giving them the opportunities and the spark that can ignite either a career path or simply an enduring love of the music that we honor and cherish,” said Jazz Arts Founder and Artistic Director Joe Muccioli. 

Sessions are every Sunday beginning September 28 at 3pm, through December 14, held at our new facilities at 50 White Street in Red Bank, NJ. Additional days or times may be posted depending upon enrollment. All students will perform in a final showcase on December 14th at Two River Theater alongside an invited guest artist. Showcase details to be announced soon.
