The Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media (JCM) department of the Eastman School of Music is committed to finding and educating the next generation of jazz musicians who will shape the course of music in contemporary and future media. Beginning with the admissions process, the potential Eastman student passes through a pre-qualifying series of events that identifies the most outstanding candidates. This in includes both classical and jazz auditions, plus ear training and theory placement exams. From well over 100 submitted tapes in any given year, approximately 40 students are invited to Eastman for a live audition. When the process is finally completed, about 10% of the original pool of applicants are offered admittance. The entire JCM enrollment is approximately 50, in a student body at Eastman that numbers more than 800. |
