JaZZ2U program provides Grants for Jazz Speakers Thanks to a generous grant from the Herb Alpert Foundation, we present JEN’s JAZZ2U, a new initiative that is part of our commitment to local jazz Outreach. With JEN’s JAZZ2U, JEN members can apply for a $300 grant to fund a speaker or performer at any event that will bring jazz to the new and existing audiences via schools, community centers, performances, or informances by quality performers and advanced educators. This program is intended to advance the presentation of jazz to young and diverse audiences, to promote the coaching of young musicians in the elements of playing jazz, and to increase paid opportunities for professional jazz musicians. The grant is open to all JEN members with all levels of experience in presenting in-school programs, whether a director, educator, or artist. The JEN Outreach eam is available upon request for assistance in designing content, working with artists in engaging local school audiences, and providing strategies for forming educational partnerships. Find out more and apply for a grant at JazzEdNet.org/JAZZ2U.
