The CSU-Stanislaus Jazz Studies program is focused on providing an educational environment for future jazz educators and performers. Students involved in CSUS jazz have numerous opportunities to perform, participate in master classes, study privately, and to pursue independent projects. In addition, the jazz program offers a comprehensive classroom experience emphasizing performance, composition/arranging, jazz history, pedagogy, styles and analysis, and large and small ensemble playing. The Jazz program also performs a number of outreach activities that are designed to enrich elementary, middle school, and high school students throughout the area, and the community at large.
