I really want my students to participate, but we haven’t been holding regular rehearsals

The structure of the 45 minute performance and feedback school clinics is up to you. We recommend that no more than 25 minutes be spent on performing. Performances can be live-virtual, pre-recorded, video collages, soloists only from their homes, combos, etc. You can also elect to use the 45 minutes for a private workshop or Q&A session with the clinician and forgo the performance all together.

Where can I buy tickets to the evening concerts? Are there discounted evening concert tickets for students?

Tickets are available here. A discounted School Group package for up to 10 devices is available. The evening concerts, An Electronic Wonderland and The Global Jazz Celebration, are included in all festival packages.

I purchased a Blue or Gold Performer Pass for my students, how will I know the date/time or my groups clinic? Will my clinic be open to the public

Our production team will be emailing you in the coming days to finalize the scheduling of your clinic. In that email you will receive the Zoom Link and the password for your clinic.
