San Jose Jazz

Organization Description

San Jose Jazz is Live Music - San Jose Jazz presents great live music! With over 100 performances on 13 stages in 3 days, Summer Fest is one of the Bay Area’s biggest music festivals. Held in March, Winter Fest presents diverse artists that push the creative envelope. In addition to the two annual Fests, San Jose Jazz programs various events in the downtown area throughout the year. The new SJZ Boom Box is a mobile venue, designed to bring jazz concerts to neighborhoods throughout the Bay Area. San Jose Jazz is Music Education - San Jose Jazz benefits thousands of children per year through its year-round, high quality, youth education programs and commitment to providing performance and classroom opportunities for students. The organization’s highly-regarded programs include Progressions, a research-based youth development program that uses music to connect with low-income, at-risk students.

Health & Safety

none

Although we have 2-3 team members on site at the school after school, there are small amounts of time that students may be working with minors alone without supervision. They will be in a group and will never be alone 1-on-1 with a minor, but due to rotations that happen in our after school music program, it may be that the student is alone with the students for a short amount of time (5-10 minutes) at various times throughout the after school music program.

Personal photos or videos are not allowed because we are partnered with a school district (Franklin-McKinley School District), but we can take photos or videos if needed for professional reports or evaluation purposes.
