The Jazz Education Network is dedicated to building the jazz arts community by advancing education, promoting performance and developing new audiences.
JAZZ EDUCATION NETWORK
The Jazz Education Network was founded to support and sustain the art form that was born out of the legacy of black resistance. Our music calls us to speak out and actively work on behalf of justice and equality. We share in the pain and disgust of watching another black citizen murdered in public view as they pleaded for their life. JEN stands with #blacklivesmatter and all other organizations and individuals who are protesting the unrelenting and corrupt racist system that does not value black Americans in our society.
ADVANCING EDUCATION
Advancing jazz education comes in many forms: introducing jazz education at younger levels, supporting the academic community, connecting students and pros for once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and more! Our education programs provide support across all grade levels and styles.
JEN is a community where educators, students, pros and aficionados share and learn from each other. Take part in a multitude of opportunities to connect with fellow JEN members, jazz and contemporary music experts, and our evolving set of digital resources.
PROMOTING PERFORMANCE
Do you wake up each morning with music in your heart?
Jazz is best when it’s shared and the community must work together to create opportunities for performance. Through our annual conference, we have hosted hundreds of performances by musicians of all ages and more than 24 countries. We are working on developing even more programs that will bring jazz performance to the spotlight.
