Jazz is explained
by playing it
by playing it
We take jazz into schools with tailor-made projects: a live band, classroom material, and pupils who end up deciding how the music sounds.
Main project
The Jazz
Influencers
Influencers
A place where young Canarian musicians learn jazz by building a real band, guided by the orchestra’s players. They learn music, yes; but above all they learn to listen to each other, to know what part each one plays and to hold the sound up together.
They rehearse together, grow together and end up on a stage playing their first concerts. And all of it, really, for the fun of it.

Learning to listen to jazz with a musician in the classroom: where this music comes from, what each instrument does, and why it never sounds the same twice.

A chance to watch one of our line-ups work from the inside, with the players explaining what you are hearing.
Why we do it
Nobody should be left without the chance to enjoy jazz. We take these activities to schools, secondary schools, auditoriums and theatres across the seven islands, whatever the town or the school.
01
That everyone has the chance to enjoy jazz, whatever their birthplace or their socio-economic situation.
02
That they hear live jazz, the best way to understand what it is about.
03
Building active listening: telling what is playing and why it sounds that way.
04
Understanding multiculturalism through the music and its history.
05
Using technology as a creative tool, not as decoration.
