Educational Outreach and the CJO
The mission of the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra is to increase awareness and appreciation of jazz by engaging the community with original music, exceptional performances, and inspirational educational programming. Learn, live, & love jazz.
We are proud to provide our region with innovative educational outreach. Most of CJO’s performers are also master educators who work regularly with students of all ages, including collegiate groups (Kent State University, Cleveland State University, Youngstown State University, Case Western Reserve University, Ashland University, The University of Akron, The Ohio State University and Cuyahoga Community College) and younger students (Cleveland Heights Public Schools, Garfield Heights Public Schools, Hawken Schools, Cleveland
Metropolitan School District). Still others are involved in educational programs from the retail side of the music business at local music stores and via Jupiter Wind Instruments and the Selmer-Bach Corporation.
With your donation, you can help us bring jazz education to more students across the region!
Help us keep jazz alive in Northeast Ohio!
Our Educational Outreach projects include:
Holly’s High Notes (*NEW*) - The Holly Hofmann Lesson Program
Instrument Donation Program (donate an instrument to our program to get a pair of tickets to one of our Season Series shows!)
