Education

Our Pathways Program is an important component of WAYJO’s annual program.

We tailor events to the needs of audiences, from young children to high school students and their teachers, with performances and workshops designed to suit most educational requirements.

WAYJO invites schools to engage with our musicians and leverage their talent and experience to create quality experiences that enrich classroom or private teaching.

For schools who can’t participate, WAYJO can arrange community and private events that students can attend with family or friends to gain a better understanding of jazz performance.

If you or a family member are studying music, check out what WAYJO has to offer!
