After School Programs

Our after-school programs are offered to grades K-12 across all five NYC boroughs. Students will engage and respond to the newly digitized archives of jazz musician and innovator, Louis Armstrong, one of the 20th Century’s most important artistic figures. Through an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging self-expression and creative thinking, student-artists will discover and share their own capacities for innovative thinking and making. Student groups will take part in hands-on activities that will lead them in the discovery of how Jazz was born, the elements of music making, composition, rhythmic structures and more. Programs can include 12-week residencies, assemblies, as well as pre and post curricula for students, teachers and families. Engagements can be tailored to meet the needs of each learning institution.
