Chicago Jazz Philharmonic

Jazz Alive, a K-12 ‘feeder’ program developed by the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic exposes children to music at the beginning of their formal education. The program then tracks the child through high school at which point students may decide to continue their studies at the college level. “By building music programs and jazz bands at the elementary level,” says Orbert Davis “we can effectively improve the quality of CPS high school bands all around and can demonstrate involvement in music keeps our children focused and in school.” “Jazz Alive” is one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind. It focuses on issues such as, student enrichment, music advocacy with an emphasis on jazz, the connection between disciplines, professional development, and parental involvement.
