JAMM OVERVIEW

Junior Artists Music Mentorship Educational Program (JAMM) Overview

Music education develops more than just future artists. It fosters the development of critical thinking skills and the necessary confidence and tools for self-expression. The social benefit of the Arts, both to children and communities, is well documented.

Our Junior Artists Music Mentorship educational program (JAMM) develops new and much-needed ways to actively engage youth with music. JAMM is supported by the musicians, educators, and volunteers who dedicate their time to teach and entertain students each year by providing expertise and guidance while creating a positive environment to help youth find their musical confidence and voice.

Thanks to our generous donors and sponsors, each year thousands of enthusiastic young students and emerging artists gain experience in music and broadcasting through one of our JAMM programs that include:

• Jazz 4 Kids Concert Series
• JAZZ.FM91 Youth Big Band
• The Canadian Jazz Archive Online
• Jazzology
• Learning Series
