Neighborhood Business Card Highlight: Seattle JazzED

This week we are highlighting a business card from Mike Halperin, a founding trustee of Seattle JazzED, a non-profit organization that trains Seattle-area youth in high level jazz music training and performance. One of the important aspects of JazzED's mission is that they offer opportunities to youth regardless of their previous access to musical resources or ability to pay tuition. They reach out into under-served areas in the community and give opportunities to learn self-confidence and discipline through the rich heritage of jazz music. Auditions are held every year in September for students to join, and the program is 25 weeks long.

If you scroll down on their Listen & Learn page, you can watch a couple videos of previous performances from Seattle JazzED students. Check out the website or contact Mike (mike@mhelperin.com) for more info!
