Welcome to the Jazz Educators of Iowa 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
description 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.
