Educational Videos
In response to director/student need for virtual content during the pandemic lockdown, the CJO created 10 free, educational instructional videos which were emailed to our database of band directors. These were also placed on CJO’s social media and now reside on CJO’s YouTube.com channel. These were created to be general and therefore useful to musicians of all ages, and some weren’t specifically geared towards scholastic jazz instruction.
