ARTS 19 Jazz Education Progress Highlights Over 250 middle and high school students honed their musical talents through class- es and rehearsals with established performers in Detroit’s jazz community. Private teaching, ensemble rehearsals, jam sessions, masterclasses, and public performances allowed these students, currently in grades 6-12, to learn Detroit’s jazz legacy and become the next generation of jazz musicians. As an investment in Detroit’s strong jazz tradition and a reflection of Fred Erb’s love of jazz, we support advanced jazz instruction for musically talented but economically disadvantaged young people.
