ADULT JAZZ ENSEMBLES

Join an Adult Jazz Ensemble

Whether you're a seasoned player, someone picking up the horn again after many years, or just learning about jazz, MJI has a place for you. Our adult jazz ensembles are coached by some of the area's finest jazz musicians and provide top-notch education, performance opportunities, and a fun social scene. 

MJI forms new ensembles throughout the year. Let us know if you would like to join a small combo, theory class, or the big band even if the current term has already begun.

All rehearsals and classes are held at the Jazz Gallery (926 E Center Street, Milwaukee, WI 53212).
