BSR Home > Youth Programs

We provide an environment where young people can learn to play Traditional Jazz and improvisation in front of a live audience. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and we provide educational opportunities to both youth and young adults. Every year, our club sends up to 10 young people to the Sacramento or Mammoth Lakes youth jazz camps. Click here to see video clips of our young people at last summer's jazz camps. Our Club has also sponsored youth bands to participate in the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Youth Band Festival (TJYBF) for the last three years. Some of these youth bands have become award-winning, full-time musical groups, including the Red Skunk Jipzee Swing band featuring Molly Reeves and Justin Au, The New Low Down featuring BSR alumni Tasha Brittain and Justin Au, and the BSR Hotshots. These bands have all been featured at our own Jubilee by the Sea. To download a BSR Scholarship Application, click here.
