The workshops will be of value for all levels, but some experience playing jazz is helpful. Students must have basic knowledge of the instrument and be able to play scales and chords. Most importantly, the student should be excited to learn new things and to get inspired!

Of course.

There will be a limited number of VIP Passes available in advance.

Parking for BMA is in a lot of the BMA (more info here). There is also street Parking and other garages at Johns Hopkins University a short walk away.
Parking for Bluebird is on the street, or you can go to the lot behind Avenue Kitchen, which is off an alley between Roland Ave and Elm Ave south of 36th St. We recommend you use Uber whenever possible, but Hampden is very walkable for most, and street parking may be easier on the north side of the neighborhood.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is fully accessible for those with physical disability or for the elderly who cannot climb stairs. Guests who enter the East Lobby can take an elevator up to the second floor. There are stairs but also accessible alternatives. Once in the auditorium, there is clearly labeled wheelchair and companion seating against the center wall (separating the lower and balcony seats). We will have ushers available to make sure folks who need this seating have access to these seats.

These are within walking distance of BMA:

If you are driving to the BMA, we recommend the following places in nearby Hampden which are a short drive or Uber away:

We recommend Hotel Indigo and the Inn at Colonnade, which is the closest to the BMA.
