Connections through the Arts Education Programs for All Ages
The Capitol Jazz Project
Washington Performing Arts Society (WPAS) and the D.C. Public Schools, in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center, has launched The Capitol Jazz Project, an important step in supporting music education for all students in the District of Colombia. Through the Capitol Jazz Project, students hone their listening, performing, improvising, composing, arranging, music reading, and notation skills. The Capitol Jazz Project is being implemented in 6 D.C. middle schools with a total enrollment of more than 500 music students. A true collaboration, The Capitol Jazz Project brings the combined resources and expertise of WPAS, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the D.C. Public Schools to create a model music education program.
