The Westchester Center for Jazz and Contemporary Music was created to provide an opportunity for musicians of diverse backgrounds, abilities and ages to develop their skills playing jazz and related forms of modern music.
Integrating performance and education:
The teaching philosophy of the Center is based on the premise that performing and teaching are mutually beneficial. By coming off the stage into the classroom, our aim is to first inspire students, and then challenge them as musicians. Our priority is to develop musicians who play with confidence, skill, and knowledge in an environment that recognizes anything is achievable when hard work is combined with a willingness to learn.
