[JTole Music]
Philosophy and Approach

Why We’re Here

JTole Music creates programs and events that bring communities together, from performances and festivals to summer workshops, jam sessions, private lessons and educational videos. We provide quality information, resources and guidance to help students and educators fulfill their personal and program goals.

Focusing on the Process

The all-star team at JTole Music knows how to meet students at their level, guiding them upward in their development to meet their goals and realize their potential.

Teaching the “Real Deal”

Music, especially jazz, is built on a vocabulary developed by master musicians. We teach music as a language, connecting our students to a powerful tradition that continues to grow and change today. This connection is one of the secrets to our success.

Developing a Professional Attitude

Our students learn to act professionally—no matter what their future profession will be. Traits like listening with intent, respecting the contributions of others, being kind, thinking about the whole group, being on time and prepared, and going the extra mile are an important part of the educational process at JTole Music.
