Bring the Spirit of Jazz into Your Classrooms
What Is Jazz Forum in School?
We don’t just host assemblies; we create immersive cultural movements. Our world-class performances are designed to fit the school day while transforming the gym or auditorium into a living, breathing jazz room.
We connect students to the history, rhythm, and culture of America’s greatest art form.
The Jazz Forum Experience

Active Listening: Students dive into the music through rhythm exercises and call-and-response.
