Jazz Education Is Alive and Well in Texas

http://www.jazz.unt.edu The UNT Jazz Studies program was the first university jazz degree program in 1947 and it continues to thrive. From one teacher, a handful of students, and almost no printed music, the division of jazz studies at North Texas has grown into a program which includes small groups, vocal jazz, and many special kinds of performing ensembles. Broadening its scope of excellence and maintaining its reputation for quality continue as the principal challenge and primary goal of the Division of Jazz Studies of the College of Music at the University of North Texas. It is part of a dynamic college of music and a rapidly-growing university that has been designated as an emerging research institution by the state.
