Scholarship Awards

Students are awarded funding to subsidize the cost of private
music lessons. Proceeds from raffle tickets sold at “Jazz Sunday,”
along with proceeds from STJS Foundation endowments, go directly to Music Lesson
Awards.
To all recipients: We hope to see you playing for STJS
audiences in the near future. All current and new music students may apply for the next round of awards.
Calling All Youth Musicians:
The Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society is looking for eager youth musicians and bands to come to our monthly "Jazz Sunday" concerts at the Dante Club. From noon to 5:00pm on the second Sunday of each month, we offer one room for jam sessions plus two other rooms for listening to great music. (There's dancing, too.) In addition to the club's great food, the Dante is conveniently located right next to McDonalds and Subway.
We're also looking for bands to open our party on the Main Stage. Think of it: your band's name on the front page of our monthly AATJ newsletter, as well as in the printed "Jazz Sunday" program. There's a huge audience waiting to cheer you on. If you or someone you know has a youth band interested in playing, let us know! E-mail Elinor Hackett: jaznanor48@yahoo.com
