The JAMS Instrumental Music Program

The JAMS Instrumental Music program offers many opportunities for young musicians of all grades and proficiency levels. Over 400 students are currently enrolled in one of four bands or three orchestras as well as a Music Conversion class that offers instruction on a second instrument (woodwind or brass). All of the ensembles incorporate state and national standards within the curriculum, and every student receives an opportunity to develop and strengthen his/her musical skills as an individual as well as an ensemble member, regardless of musical experience or proficiency.
