Kids Zone
The DC Jazz Festival's mission to enrich the lives of students with the wonderful legacy of jazz by studying, performing, composing, teaching and living music. We encourage you to check our NEA's Jazz in the Schools at www.neajazzintheschools.org to learn more about great jazz artists. Or visit the links below, provided by the National Endowment of the Arts to more about NEA Jazz Masters. Sharing handouts of these American Jazz artists will not only help your students prepare for our 2010 Jazz Festival student concerts, but gives young people an opportunity to learn about American history and culture.
