Welcome to the International Association for Jazz Education (Iowa Unit) webpage. Our mission is to assure the continued worldwide
growth and development of Jazz and Jazz Education. This website was created as a source for all of our sponsored events, as well as
a resource for jazz educators. The webpage will be updated regularly, so check back often! While we will be somewhat limited on
content, please feel free to offer suggestions for links, jazz-ed exercises, etc. If you do have a link you would like posted, please email
me the web address and a brief desrciption of it. Under "Jazz-Related Links", we would like to post upcoming jazz concerts / festivals.
Your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and enjoy the website.
