Our Programs

Ensemble classes for middle and high school students. Widely known as one of the most prestigious jazz education programs on the west coast, YLJC has small ensembles to big band for every skill level.

Ensemble "workshop" classes for students who need work with theory, reading, improvising and playing in a group setting. After the workshop classes, students will be prepared for the demands of playing in a YLJC ensemble.

YLJC Jacobs Jazz Orchestra is a TUITION-FREE program, thanks to the generous sponsorship provided by Mrs. Joan Jacobs and Dr. Irwin Jacobs!

Feeling the need to dust off your instrument and get back in the game?  Get out of the shed, make some new friends and take your skills to the next level.
