After School Programming
Jazz is more than music. Jazz is a way of thinking about your environment and how you interact with it. During each performance jazz musicians collaborate, take risks, problem solve, establish leadership, and support one another with little or no verbal communication. Building upon our experience working with thousands of students each year and presenting world class artists MCG Jazz now offers after school programming for high school students.

Jazz - Tell Your Story
Join MCG Jazz for a 5-day intensive camp focused on the rich legacy of Jazz composers from Pittsburgh. Jazz is more than music. Jazz is a way of thinking about your environment and how you interact with it. Lead by Mark Jackovic, students will use jazz standards as inspiration to compose original music. Through the use of our Grammy award winning recording studio, video suite, and accompanying software and hardware the original music created by the students will be captured and shared in many ways. Let’s learn how Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm work together to enhance your story. What is your message to the world?
