Arts Learning
ACHF Arts Education
Jazz artists will make presentations about the social and cultural impact of jazz to students at six schools, while artist residencies will occur at another six schools, providing student musicians the opportunity for intensive studies designed to improve their technical, creative, and collaborative skills. Student evaluations of will show that at least two thirds of the students at jazz presentations will have learned something new about this art form, while evaluations of student musicians will show an increased understanding of jazz and an improvement in their ability to play. We will ask students and teachers to fill out evaluation forms after each presentation or residency.
Twenty-four artists led 4 introductory presentations and 3 jazz workshops for 657 students at 11 schools. At least 3525 adults heard 76 young musicians perform jazz on a public stage.
