Our Program

JAMM is a tuition free music program, which helps youth develop focus, self-control, leadership skills, and teamwork through ensemble. Students experience success through community performance and daily practice, and understand that effort and persistence help them overcome life’s challenges.

The In-School Program:

JAMM schools provide 1.5 hrs/wk of violin instruction as a school readiness program to all kindergartners and Grade 1 students to ensure that all children have access to the lifelong benefits that music provides. JAMM pairs a certified school teacher with a community artist to build a safe, structured and creative environment for students. Teachers also learn from one another, can be more collaborative and reflective of their lesson delivery, and model teamwork for their students.

The After-School Program:

In Grades 2 – 5, JAMM offers an optional, after school exploratory program, that includes sessions such as orchestra/chamber group and string sectionals, music technology, movement, recorders, songwriting, choir, ukulele, music literacy and/or Tlingit dance and drumming. JAMM helps students value creativity and the passion and precision central to music and other life pursuits.

Secondary Support:
JAMM continues to support alum through string orchestra coaching at Dzantiki Heeni Middle School, funding for a middle school Mariachi Ensemble, and private lesson scholarships. JAMM also pays high school musicians to coach elementary musicians at Glacier Valley and Riverbend elementary schools.
