The faculty, comprised of renowned jazz musicians, guide students through a robust and eclectic curriculum that inspires and prepares them for continued growth in jazz. The Fordham Jazz Workshop is hosted in collaboration with Fordham University at the Fordham College at Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan.
