On behalf of the California Jazz Conservatory family of faculty, students and staff, welcome! The California Jazz Conservatory begins academic year 2018–19 with an exciting new campus expansion — Jerry Fiddler Annex — housing additional classrooms and practice rooms, a music library, a student lounge and a performance venue. Our new facility provides you with even greater opportunities to realize your singular professional ambitions in jazz. As an aspiring artist, you have many educational options to choose from. Here are some of the most important reasons you should consider the California Jazz Conservatory: • Our faculty comprises experienced teaching artists and academics with a proven track record of turning students into professionals, musicians into artists; • We support and promote individual creativity, resulting in widespread recognition for the Conservatory as a hotbed for cutting edge new work; • Our Jazz Studies curriculum is 100% jazz-relevant — from the core music courses to the general studies requirements; • Our student body is small by design. With an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio, students receive an abundance of individual attention from all of their teachers; • Our campus is located in the heart of the vibrant Downtown Berkeley Arts District. Students are within walking distance of a number of the Bay Area’s preeminent arts organizations, including the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Cal Performances, the Freight and Salvage, and the Berkeley Rep and Aurora Theaters; • CJC students have easy access to affordable public transportation. Buses and BART are within half a block, connecting students to the Bay Area and beyond; • Finally — and perhaps most importantly — you will be attending the only independent accredited music conservatory in the country that is 100% devoted to jazz and related styles of music, and 100% devoted to you! Choosing the California Jazz Conservatory will enable you to become the artist you aspire to become, in a program whose mission celebrates and promotes individual expression on all fronts. An exciting and productive semester awaits! Join us! Yours in jazz, Susan Muscarella, Ph.D. President CALIFORNIA JAZZ CONSERVATORY 2087 Addison Street • Berkeley, California 94704 phone: 510.845.5373 • fax: 510.841.5373 cjc.edu THE CALIFORNIA JAZZ CONSERVATORY HISTORY AND PROGRAMS Founded in 2009, the California Jazz Conservatory The California Jazz Conservatory offers students: (CJC) is positioned as the only independent, • A synergistic, comprehensive
