Washington Performing Arts Society (WPAS) and the D.C. Public Schools, in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center, have launched the Capitol Jazz Project, an important step in supporting music education for all students in the District of Columbia. Through the Capitol Jazz Project, students hone their listening, performing, improvising, composing, arranging, music reading, and notation skills. The Capitol Jazz Project is being implemented in seven D.C. middle schools with a total enrollment of more than 500 music students. A true collaboration, the Capitol Jazz Project combines the resources and expertise of WPAS, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the D.C. Public Schools to create a model music education program.
