CAJ Update

The California Alliance for Jazz has unfurled our new website with content that is exclusive to our membership. We hope that you will check it out!

Mark your calendars for the creation of a new jazz educators conference in June of 2023 taking place at University of the Pacific in Stockton. More information is coming in the months ahead.

The All-State Audition music is being posted soon. It is my hope that you will encourage many of your students to try out this upcoming year. Our greatest needs are always in trombone and rhythm section players. Auditions will be accepted from September 1st through December 1st.

CAJ is looking for session proposals from our members on best jazz pedagogy practices. Please consider sending in a proposal that will inspire your colleagues statewide. These proposals will be accepted soon and must be received by August 1st, 2022. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2023!
