What we are offering here is not for everyone. The Tribeca Jazz Institute is directed towards the few players in each class that are already close to professional level and have the clear goal of becoming the best jazz artist they can be. Maybe you’re about to enroll at a college for jazz performance and have a year off before you attend. Maybe you’ve just finished a jazz degree somewhere and feel that you’re in need of a sort of “finishing school” as you enter the scene, or perhaps you’re already a professional but feel like you’re stuck and can’t get past a plateau. In any of these cases this is the program for you. We believe we can only teach our art the way we learned it, and the way we learned to play jazz music was through one-on-one private instruction and mentorship, and by playing under the guidance of great musicians. That is what is at the core of this program. Each semester will be an intensive 12 weeks of lessons and apprenticeship combined with 3 weekly three-hour “sessions” with the top jazz artists working on the NYC jazz scene. As a musician, your late teens and early 20’s are almost always the most important developmental years and essentially, when the artist is formed. This time must be taken advantage of fully if your goal is to reach your true potential as a player. We believe that the other aspects of music education (the countless extra courses, papers, and projects demanded by a jazz performance degree) can be put on the back burner until the primary goal is achieved. Don’t get us wrong – we believe a university education is invaluable and encourage anyone that can go to do it. However, our objective is to make you the best musician you can be and if this is the right program for you (and you are the right student for the program), the distractions of a conventional performance degree are not necessary right now. Not to be overlooked is the cost of said degree at any of the main schools in New York City, on average around $60,000 per year. In the end the young artist is often saddled with debt and no realistic means of paying off a $200,000 education.  At the Tribeca Jazz Institute, the relationship between the students and resident teaching artists extends beyond the walls of the school, building a bridge towards integration into the professional jazz scene. This is our true goal for you. We look forward to seeing what can happen when exceptionally talented young musicians are placed in a “supercharged” environment to propel them forward artistically, and  their abilities are given the resources and nurturing they rightly deserve. Yours Truly, Grant Stewart, Artistic Director

Yes! This program strives to build social skills in the children, and so regular attendance and timely arrival is extremely important for establishing new friendships with their peers and the teacher.

Young children need to feel secure in new environments before they are willing to explore new things on their own. This sense of security is of paramount importance in building confidence in young children.

Church Street School specializes in physical experiences in art and music making because this helps to form the firmest foundation in the arts and is the way that young children learn the best. Our talented teaching artists provide open-ended activities with engaging materials that leaves space for your child’s unique artistic voice to shine.

The teacher will work with you/your caregiver about the timing and process. We will respect the individual needs of each child. As children become familiar with the class structure and the other children and teacher, it will be suggested that the grownup sits on the side and passively observes the child during the class. Eventually the goal will be for adults to be able to wait in the lobby after the child gets settled into the free play period.

Your caregiver is there to support those kinds of needs.
