California Jazz Conservatory
American private music school / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The California Jazz Conservatory is a private conservatory in Berkeley, California. It is the only independent music conservatory in the United States devoted solely to jazz and related styles of music. Located in the Downtown Berkeley Arts District, the CJC offers Associate, Bachelor's, and Master's degrees in Jazz Studies. The conservatory also offers community education classes and workshops for instrumentalists and vocalists and precollege youth programs for beginning, intermediate and advanced musicians.[1] In July 2024, the conservatory announced that it would end its degree programs due to "significantly decreased enrollment and financial constraints."[2]
