The Garn Family Jazz Studies Program enables young musicians in grades 7 through 12 to receive a comprehensive music education, while furthering their studies in the art of jazz. The program’s distinguished faculty includes some of today’s top jazz recording artists, educators, and performers. The curriculum is modeled after a university-level jazz conservatory, which includes instruction in big band, small group, theory, composition, arranging, improvisation, masterclasses, and jazz history.

Cash donations to the school are tax deductible per OCSA's IRS designation as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
