WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

The PA Jazz Institute is a fantastic learning opportunity. I enjoyed being taught by several incredible musicians who were as passionate in teaching the music as they were in playing it. These professionals pushed us to develop new skills in our personal capabilities and our ability to create music in a group. Personally, I learned more in this one week than I did in the few months leading up to it, and I use everything I acquired when I play now. I highly recommend this Institute, as you will be hard-pressed to find a better opportunity to learn this art.
