New Jersey Association for Jazz Education

NJAJE State VOCAL Jazz Festival

The New Jersey Association for Jazz Education is presenting an opportunity to participate in the official vocal jazz festival sponsored by your state organization devoted solely to jazz education.

​Friday, April 16, 2021 - 5pm @ Princeton High School

Attention all choir directors: If your school has a jazz choir, contemporary music ensemble (a cappella groups), or any group that would like to perform this exciting genre of music, then you are invited to participate in the third annual Vocal Jazz State Festival.  Your registration as a member of NJAJE as a Festival Participant allows you to bring an ensemble to participate in this exciting new event for vocal music in NJ!  There will be recorded feedback from our clinicians for you to share with your groups as well as ratings and awards for ensembles, soloists, and rhythm sections.  A rhythm section is not required for participation in the festival.  We hope to see you in April!

To participate in the NJAJE Vocal Jazz Festival, please fill out the Membership Application and follow the appropriate instructions.
