Jazz Masters Residency Program

The Jazz Institute of Chicago’s Jazz Masters Residency Program brings some of Chicago’s most sought after Jazz Masters into Chicago Public School classrooms for eight sessions. In addition, the Residency program also provides a Professional Staff Development Training component for the Music Instructor.

The program includes attendance to a concert performance featuring the Residency Artists at the University of Chicago’s Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts and an opportunity to receive free tickets to the Logan Center’s Jazz Series. (Tickets to the series are limited and are available on a first-come; first serve bases).  Free bus transportation is provided by the Logan Center to and from all concerts.

 The value of this Artist Residency is estimated at over $ 5,000 per school; however; due to the generosity of our supporters – we are able to provide the Jazz Institute of Chicago Jazz Links Jazz Masters Residency Program to selected Chicago Public Schools for FREE!

 The following Residency Programs are available:

  • Jazz Band Intensive

  • Beyond 5 Lines and 4 Spaces

  • The Jazz Voice

  • Jazz for Strings

  • Swinging, Grooving, and Beyond

  • Creative Music/Graphic Notation

  • Latin Jazz

Program runs January – May.
