AJV has been able to implement its mission statement with great success.  Our goal is simply to deliver the most productive and memorable experience for the students and enrich the musical lives of the audience. Our focus on educational venues has been the most successful and is the environment best suited to introduce our youth to America’s music---JAZZ

AJV focuses the Jazz experience on our youth, because early artistic impressions can survive for a lifetime. Our programs have flexibility and could include:

• Renowned Jazz soloists featured with the school’s instrumental and/or vocal ensemble
• Jazz artists/educators who will provide “Hands On” workshops and clinics
• Participation can range from a guest soloist to a full orchestra.
• AJV features the total Jazz experience from Dixieland to contemporary Jazz innovations including improvisation.
• Jazz pedagogy masterclass, seminars and lectures.
