My son has been a part of the Jazz Arts Academy since last summer so I can tell you as a parent just how blessed we are to have an incredible opportunity like this one at our fingertips in Red Bank. And although renovations will begin soon on the Count Basie Theatre and their Performing Arts Academy building, the classes will still be held in Red Bank. After all, the show must go on!

So if your child is a musician ages 13 through 19, here is specific info on the Jazz Arts Academy:

The Jazz Arts Academy encourages students to learn, study and perform with an all-star, all-pro faculty. Students receive comprehensive training in improvisation, music theory, jazz history, and instruction tailored to their instrument. The program features group lessons, individual coaching and listening sessions, as well as master classes with visiting artists. Students will improve on their instrument, perform in ensembles, and meet other young musicians in the process.

Registration is now taking place for the spring and summer of 2017:
