Information for School Groups

The KU Jazz Festival is educational and non-competitive in nature; however, each group has the option of receiving a confidential rating, which is disclosed only via the adjudication sheets. All groups will receive taped and/or written comments from each clinician present during the performance.

Big bands will work with one of the clinicians in a clinic room immediately following their performance. Combos will perform and then receive an on-stage clinic by one of the clinicians with whatever time is remaining in the allotted time on stage (45 minutes). 

Performances will occur in Swarthout Recital Hall and large rehearsal rooms in Murphy Hall. Accomplished educators/performers will conduct clinics and master classes over the two days, including "meet the artist" sessions with our evening guest artists!
