Naptown Jazz Kids (NJK) is a 501(c)3 arts education performance nonprofit that transforms young lives, offering education programs, community engagement, and musical training.
Formed in 2019 by Artistic Director Steve Fidyk, internationally renowned jazz performers teach alongside our professional staff, offering students a variety of creative programming that helps build character, leadership, musical potential, life skills, and strengthen academic performance.
Through music, mentoring, education, and training, Naptown Jazz Kids helps cultivate tomorrow’s global citizens, so they may help create vibrant communities.
At Naptown Jazz Kids, we believe that understanding and learning to appreciate, create, and improvise through jazz, America’s original art form, produces lifelong benefits that every child deserves.
We feel that music creates friendships, unions, and builds communities. We put these core beliefs into practice by enhancing and expanding jazz education throughout the greater Annapolis area through education, performance, and community service opportunities.
The mission of Naptown Jazz Kids is to entertain, enhance and expand jazz to the greater Annapolis area through education, performance and community service opportunities for students and educators alike.
