Band directors with student big bands or combos of all ages are encouraged to bring their performing groups for a workshop (clinic) at Frederick P. Rose Hall, the home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. The following are basic guidelines but we would work to customize your visit to fit your needs.

Costs – Contact us for specific costs. Most workshops are two-hours, however longer workshops may be scheduled. The fee includes artist/clinician fee, room rental, piano, chairs, and stands. Additional instruments/equipment can be rented for an additional fee.

Clinicians – We have a roster of outstanding artist/clinicians and we'll work with the band director to identify a clinician best suited for his or her group. Some of our clinicians are listed here.

Scheduling – Subject to availability in the studio spaces at Frederick P. Rose Hall, a "hold" can be put in the calendar as soon as we know there is an interest. Contact us as early as possible for best availability. If a school is traveling during the busy spring season, Friday morning or early afternoon is preferred.

Repertoire – Bands should prepare three charts for a two-hour workshop.  Bands are also asked to prepare one chart  from the Jazz at Lincoln Center print music  library, including Essentially Ellington Series, Jazz for Young People Series and Essential Jazz Editions.. To see a complete catalog, visit jalc.org/printmusic.

Here are some library recommendations:
