Our focus this Giving Tuesday is on the CCM/CPS Jazz Academy. This CPS Strong initiative provides a recruitment opportunity for UC and creates an early connection between CCM and local CPS students interested in music. Daily classes include ensembles, jazz history, jazz theory, jazz improvisation, jazz arranging, and college audition preparation for high school students. The faculty consists of leading jazz performers and jazz educators from CCM, CPS, and the Greater Cincinnati region. The week concludes with a performance by all student groups.
The young students in this program are given access to high-quality music education and unique performance experiences, providing an early opportunity to explore jazz music in depth. The diverse group of students who traditionally attend this program are also taught by a diverse faculty, which can be incredibly impactful in the way students view themselves.
We thank you for your support of this wonderful program that allows music and relationships to positively shape the lives of so many students in the greater Cincinnati area.
