Just got through reading all about the JazzSchool. A most interesting  
site. The quality of the musicians connected to and the teaching available  
almost made me want to move to the West Coast just to have access to such a  
wonderful jazz oriented learning source.  Out here on Long Island in my  
particularly isolated neck of the woods, interest and access to jazz music  is 
waning (we lost the last jazz station CD101.9 from Manhattan last year...and  
more recently the best live showcase for Jazz musicians with the closure of 
the  Imac Theatre in Huntington, NY where my favourite guitarist Peter White 
and many  other jazz musicians came from all around the Country to perform  
regularly.   :(   I've no idea what we'll do now.
 
Looking through the site I came across this small mention of a way Bay  
area folks could help painlessly fund the jazzschool. It's different and  
innovative and bears mentioning for those who live near and travel on the BART  
system, especially since continuous funding is so important. I also very much 
 like that the public can donate permanent musician's chairs to  honour a 
loved one ...with a name inscribed, all for a mere $75.  What a neat idea.

"BART Riders - Your tiny tickets could mean big money for the Jazzschool! 
We all have them, those extra BART tickets with five or ten cents left on  
them, gathering dust on our nightstand or stuffed in the back of our 
wallets.  Some of us have had them for years. But did you know that you can use 
them to  support the Jazzschool! 
The Jazzschool has joined the East Bay Community Foundationâs Tiny Tickets  
Program. This program allows BART riders to dispose of their low-value 
tickets  while supporting their favorite community organization. Just mail us 
your  tickets, and weâll do the rest! 100% of the value of the tickets 
collected goes  to support the Jazzschool. 
Please mail your BART tickets to:
