Several years ago, SacJEF launched The Lesson Bank, an online resource available to everyone interested in learning. Created and curated by music educators with more than 100 years of combined teaching experience, The Lesson Bank features short, accessible online lessons, to help students and teachers with the ins and outs of performance, instrument technique, music theory, ear training, and improvisation.  Whether you are a beginner or a pro, young or old, there is something here for you! Teachers can use these lessons in their classrooms, students will enjoy working at their own pace, and everyone will benefit from these multi-modal approaches to complex musical mysteries, explained in detail by musicians and music educators.

For decades, the Sacramento Jazz Education Foundation has had the privilege of working with the finest jazz music educators in the region.  Our network of teachers created The Lesson Bank as a resource for colleagues, teachers, and students to spread knowledge of early jazz. It’s free - all you need is a desire to learn!

The lessons are 10-minutes or less and suitable for all ages. Currently the Lesson Bank is on pause, and new lessons are not being released. This  treasure trove of accessible jazz music knowledge is available at https://www.youtube.com/c/SacJEF
