GiVE AN iNSTRUMENT – BUiLD A MUSiCiAN PROGRAM

PLACING INSTRUMENTS IN THE HANDS OF STUDENTS!

JAZZ HOUSE KiDS’ GIVE AN INSTRUMENT – BUILD A MUSICIAN PROGRAM provides students in under-resourced New Jersey public schools with newly donated instruments so they can participate in their school bands, and attend masterclasses with our professional jazz musicians and educators.

Thanks to our program underwriters, Janet Shapiro and Phillip Byrd, along with many other generous individual donors, we are thrilled to be celebrating the 10th ANNIVERSARY of the GIVE AN INSTRUMENT – BUILD A MUSICIAN PROGRAM.

We are proud to announce
