Welcome to Jazz@Amherst!
An idea pressed into action in the early 2000s and still appropriate today. We are the students and teachers who work together to create, share, and explore all aspects of this great musical genre. We enjoy the challenges of performance in the Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combos as well as the chance to study jazz in private lessons as well as in the classrooms and as independent study opportunities. We enjoy each other socially and rely on each other to support our creative efforts. Check us out!
