A Jazz music education program, that provides a maximum impact experience using our 3E's approach:
EDUCATION, ENGAGEMENT, EXPOSURE.

To preserve the history of the Excelsior Band and to insure it’s future by insuring Mobile area youth are exposed to Jazz.
To outreach to the community, and to teach our students to learn how to work with people of different skill levels & diverse backgrounds, to learn how improvise. And to learn time management skills and personal responsibility.
Includes professional and peer instruction. Students learn the basic instructions, how to read music, and experience enrichment of the fundamentals of musical genres as well as jazz which is our goal.
