How the Monterey County, California, school system built a strong jazz education program is discussed. The
healthy status of jazz in the school system is due to the contributions made by the Monterey Jazz Festival's Jazz
Education Program. Established in1983, the purpose of the program is to promote the study and enjoyment of jazz
among school-aged children at all levels, while at the same time developing future jazz artists and audiences.
While the Monterey County school system is lucky to have a world renowned jazz program in its backyard, the
model created by the school system is relatively simple in scope and design, and given the right circumstances,
the program could be replicated in any community throughout the world.
