We are committed to creating a strong virtual music program providing the innovative, high-quality music education that is our hallmark.
We transitioned our tuition-free Music Education Program to provide remote instruction and continue to teach students.
The academic year program, usually held at the University of Bridgeport, is offered throughout the week with one-on-one instruction and workshops.
Our 2020 Summer Music Camp transitioned to a combination of remote and safe in-person workshops. Students receive individual lessons, master classes, and group workshops.
One-on-one instruction with prominent jazz masters for our more dedicated students is provided throughout the summer.
