"My involvement in JazzMasters Workshop is driven by the organization's commitment to make music mentoring accessible to kids of all skill levels and walks of life. By doing so, JMW is ensuring that a new generation of children will be the beneficiaries of the time-honored tradition of mentoring. By exposing a broad cross-section of kids to the discipline and collaboration required by music performance, JMW is not only offering an important life experience, it's ensuring music and its many benefits become part of the fabric of kids' lives.
