Our newest jazz initiative creates vibrant pathways for young musicians to stretch creatively while connecting through shared music-making.
VYOAJazz
VYOAJazz offers a focused, audition-based experience, led by Kyle Saulnier and a team of professional jazz faculty. Musicians are placed in combos and larger bands tailored to their level, where they explore diverse jazz traditions, sharpen improvisation skills, and collaborate closely with peers who share their passion.
Grooves
Grooves is an open invitation. No audition required—just curiosity and a willingness to try. Led by celebrated Vermont education David Kerr, players develop improvisation tools, experiment with style, and discover how to listen, respond, and lead within an ensemble. It’s a vibrant, low-pressure space designed for growth, confidence, and joy.
