Year Round Programs
The VJC will host a new ten-week session of classes beginning the week of February 13th. This semester the jazz center will offer something for everyone, including two courses aimed at the general public: a gospel choir for anyone who loves to sing and a listening class for anyone who wants to understand a bit more about what goes on in a jazz musician's head while listening to some of the greatest jazz ever recorded. Along with its successful youth and intergenerational ensembles, the VJC will also offer a course in ear training designed especially for singers and a saxophone master class.
No one will be turned away due to lack of funds, please call the jazz center to find out about scholarship and extended payment options. Scholarship assistance available thanks to a generous grant from the Thompson Trust.
All ages are welcome!
Please feel free to call office manager, Jane Findlay if you'd like to sign up for one of our educational programs. For specific questions regarding class content speak with Eugene Uman. To contact the VJC by phone: 802 254-9088, by email: info@vtjazz.org. Their web address is www.vtjazz.org.
