Jazz Mentor's Project

JAZZ MENTOR'S PROJECT

The JCA has worked to develop new audiences

for Jazz through

education

and access. The JCA

partners with the Richmond Youth

Jazz Guild to

provide unprecedented jazz education for

aspiring

young musicians in the

Richmond

metropolitan area. Through weekly

ensemble

and

sectional

lessons, youth ages 9 to 18 are

mentored by

professional composers and

musicians of the JCA. This sharing of

knowledge

and skill dates back to

the dawn of recorded

history:

nothing is more fundamental to the

growth

of our society. Jazz is no

exception, and

for decades "apprenticeship" was

the rule for

anyone

wanting to play in a band. The JCA is

bringing

"apprenticeship" back

to raise the next

crop of young jazz musicians and

to pass this

great

American music on to the next generation.
