The Jazzschool is an innovative music school dedicated to the study and performance of America’s indigenous art form — jazz, and related styles of music from around the world.

Hailed as one of the most comprehensive schools for jazz in the country, the Jazzschool offers instrumentalists and vocalists of all ages and levels a broad spectrum of performance and lecture classes, short-term workshops and private instruction. Classes are designed for the professional musician, the serious student and the jazz aficionado seeking greater personal enrichment.

The Jazzschool houses its own bookstore, “The Bassment” -- a unique resource for first-rate jazz reading and listening materials. The Jazzcaffè, a hidden treasure in the midst of a busy Downtown Berkeley Arts District is the perfect place for a bite of lunch or dinner. A changing menu features homemade soups, salads and sandwiches as well as espresso drinks, beer and wine. The Jazzcaffè serves as a gathering place for musicians, their families and friends to exchange ideas, listen to great music and enjoy a bite to eat.
