This program is FREE and takes our performances directly to middle school sites across San Francisco and Oakland.
Each concert is about 30-45 minutes long with a 15 minute Q&A. SFJAZZ provides all equipment and back-line needed. In advance of concert we must determine facility production with a school site tour. School Day Concerts are scheduled from October-May and are available on a first come first served basis.
DURING THESE CONCERTS STUDENTS & TEACHERS WILL:
- Explore connections between music of different cultures and their musical elements.
- Interact with artists through call and response, and improvisation.
- Learn about the evolution of jazz and analyze its connections to modern day music.
- Explore the history of oral storytelling and its connection to the creation of jazz.
- Learn how jazz is alive, relevant, and continuing to grow today!
