Jansen Jazz Band
Directed by Steve Herrick, the first JJB formed the fall of 2012 with about ten players using “Combo” charts for rhythm and 4 horns. The band did two performances that first year. One concert later, they developed into the full-sized Big Band they are today, comprised of 20-30-members. All of the musicians are volunteers, members of the community who enjoy learning and performing.
It is open to adults and teens ages sixteen and older.
If you are interested in participating in the Jansen Jazz Band, please email herricksj@comcast.net

Private Instructors
The Jansen Art Center is equipped with several teaching studios for private instruction on the upper level of the building. We currently have teachers for piano, guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, voice, and cello.
Parents or students can contact the private instructors directly to set up a schedule. Payments are then made directly to the instructor. Parents and family members have the option of enjoying coffee or snacks in the Café or waiting in the area outside the teaching studios.
Any potential instructors interested in renting a space are invited to inquire with the music studio manager at music@jansenartcenter.org
Frequently Asked Questions
Does having an Artist Level Membership give me access to the music studio rooms?
At this time, having an Artist Level Membership only permits free access to both Strings and Jazz open studio. This does not mean that one can have access to the studios on their own time, as they are often rented out by private instructors.
