Education

CapitalBop’s education programs have brought live music and learning experiences to students of all ages at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, DC Public Schools and community centers around D.C. We have presented master classes in conjunction with major performances by Linda May Han Oh, Ernest Khabeer Dawkins, Jen Shyu and others. 

Until the coronavirus pandemic, we brought monthly, full-band live performances from the city’s finest jazz musicians to DCPS and charter schools in association with The MusicianShip.

At CapitalBop we’re fundraising to establish two new education programs by fall 2025: a recurring music workshop at the Riverside Center in Ward 7, and a videography apprenticeship program at Howard University. Support our efforts by donating to CapitalBop today.
