Our outreach to young people is the cornerstone of our mission to foster jazz appreciation and knowledge. This year, we’ll be reaching over 10,000 children through our educational programs:

Jazz in the Schools introduces elementary children to the wonders and history of jazz. In these programs, jazz artists combine performance and lecture to teach children about the excitement and beauty of jazz, with special emphasis on the immense contributions of Toledo native and jazz legend Art Tatum, considered the finest jazz pianist of all time.
