Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands
Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands (MYJB) is the premiere jazz education organization for middle and high school students in the Twin Cities. In four high school bands and one middle school band, exceptional teachers challenge students with fun and interesting music and provide numerous opportunities to perform at famous venues and events. MYJB places a focus on school bands, meaning that our students become leaders who enhance the musicianship and fun in the jazz bands at their individual schools as well.
