Jazz News Jazz at Lincoln Center Opens 2005-2006 Education Season!
Back by Popular Demand:
Jazz 101 for Adults and WeBop! for 2-5 year olds

August 8, 2005 (New York, NY) Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) welcomes back the popular adult education series, Jazz 101, to the organization’s home, Frederick P. Rose Hall. Designed for jazz fans and novices alike, the series features in-depth and general overview classes. “Respecting the past, nourishing the future and providing educational opportunities for young and old are some of the essential elements of Jazz at Lincoln Center and there is never a better time than today to advance the cause of jazz,” said Derek E. Gordon, President of Jazz at Lincoln Center.



In The Jazz 101 course, The Intro, author and Rutgers Professor Dr. Lewis Porter, discusses the basics of jazz, including such questions as “Why was Edward Ellington called ‘Duke?’” and “How did Louis Armstrong revolutionize jazz?” The class runs from September 21-November 8, 2005, Wednesdays at 6:30 – 8:30pm in the Edward John Noble Foundation Studio. In Kansas City is Swing Territory, Executive Director of the Jazz Museum in Harlem and Grammy-Winning author, Loren Schoenberg leads you on a trip to Kansas City without ever leaving Frederick P. Rose Hall. This class provides insight on the first city celebrated in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s “Jazz from Coast to Coast” season, and the musicians that were responsible for the unique Kansas City sound. The class runs September 21-November 8, 2005, Wednesdays at 6:30 – 8:30pm in the Edward John Noble Foundation Studio. Registration for each term is $240 per person and is available by calling Subscription Services at (212) 258-9999.

This season, Jazz at Lincoln Center welcomes the return of WeBop!, is the early music education program in which children ages 2-5 and their parents/caregivers sing, move, and play with the soulful rhythms and great melodies of jazz. WeBop! teachers lead children to a greater understanding of jazz, of their national musical heritage, and, ultimately, of themselves. WeBop! is produced in collaboration with Teachers College, Columbia University. The three terms of classes, each 8 weeks long, take places on Tuesdays and Saturdays in The Louis Armstrong Classroom. Please see times in the listings below.

The Jazz 101 and WeBop! classes are just two of the hundreds of programs and services offered by Jazz at Lincoln Center each year.
