The only school of its kind in the Bay Area and one of a very few in the United States, the Jazzschool offers instrumentalists and vocalists of all ages and levels a broad spectrum of performance and lecture classes, short-term workshops and private instruction. Classes are designed for the professional musician, the serious student and the jazz aficionado seeking greater personal enrichment. Integrating a unique number of uses complementary to jazz study and performance, the Jazzschool resides in a multidimensional arts community with the Tony Award-winning Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the Aurora Theater, the Berkeley Rep School of Theatre in the Nevo Education Center, Capoeira Arts, the Art & Music Room at Berkeley Public Library and the restaurant, downtown.
Jazzschool Books and Records, aka The Bassment, serves as a unique resource for first-rate reading and listening materials providing students and the public with supplemental jazz course materials, out-of-the-ordinary books, recordings, videos and music-related accessories.
The Jazzcaff=E8 and The Jazz Image, a photography gallery featuring works by Lee Tanner, contribute to an intimate setting for faculty and student performances. The Jazzcaff=E8 serves as a gathering place for musicians, their families and friends to exchange ideas, listen to great music and enjoy a bite to eat.
