Educational Video Projects - Jazz Skills

We have asked some of our experienced jazz instructors to produce short video introductions for anyone wanting to improve their skills or knowledge of jazz. Additional videos are posted periodically.

Play along charts

We are providing student-level charts for students to play along with. Most of these were new commissioned works by the WJO to provide more big band music aimed at specific skills. Watch for a new way to see and listen to these - coming in spring 2023!
