Jazz & Contemporary Music
Jazz & Contemporary Music at The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music
The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music’s Jazz and Contemporary Music program celebrates the legacy of American jazz while embracing modern styles and creative expression. School-aged students explore new musical directions or strengthen existing skills, while adult musicians engage in collaborative learning with fellow players.
Jazz Lessons & Contemporary Music Programs That Bring Jazz to Life
Music tells stories and sparks connection through shared sound. Jazz lives at the center of that experience through rhythm, creativity, and collaboration. Our Jazz & Contemporary Music programs invite students to explore tradition, expand their creative skills, and connect with other musicians through guided jazz lessons grounded in performance and expression.
From first-time jazz students to experienced players, these programs support growth through ensemble work, stylistic exploration, and real-world musicianship. Milwaukee offers an inspiring place to study jazz, and our classrooms, rehearsal spaces, and performance venues support that journey from the first note forward.
