OVERVIEW

Jazz for Juniors is an engaging 40 minute interactive performance that takes elementary students (grades k-8) on a fun and educational journey into the world of Jazz music. There is also a more advanced workshop for secondary school students that delves into blues form and improvisatory techniques.

Since 2000, the Jazz for Juniors group has entertained and educated thousands of students in the Toronto District School Board and Private School Systems about Jazz: the music, its instrumentation, and its history and influence on popular music today.

The group has also been featured at various festivals including the Distillery Jazz Festival in Toronto and the All Canadian Jazz Festival in Port Hope. They have also performed in Brandon, MB and Saskatoon, Sk.

Jazz for Juniors is performed by a multicultural trio of in-demand, and even Juno award winning musicians in the Canadian music scene. More musicians can be added upon request.
