Jazz Academy Vision

Courses | Instructor Bios | Registration Information | Directions | Vision

The Jazz Arts Group believes in the power of music to transform lives and is committed to offering lifelong learning opportunities for audiences of all ages, interests, backgrounds and abilities.

The vision of the Jazz Academy is unique.  The academy will serve as a place where individuals can become connected with music, whether as an active participant or a casual listener.

 “My 14-year-old daughter and I, together, attended a six-week course on improvisation. Although we were at completely different levels, we enjoyed the bonding and learning experience week after week. And, we now listen to jazz recordings and attend concerts together.”
 – A Jazz Academy participant

The Jazz Academy will make its home in the Lincoln Theatre on East Long Street and in the heart of the King-Lincoln District.  This historic theater stands as a symbol of neighborhood revitalization and as a hallmark to the cultural heritage of jazz in Columbus.

The Jazz Academy will feature 5,000 square feet of instructional space and will include a state-of-the-art instructional recording lab, keyboard/media studio and three general purposes classrooms.  For more information about the Jazz Academy, contact Jazz Academy Director, Carol Argiro, at 614-294-5200 x 107 or via email at cargiro@jazzartsgroup.org
