The Panamerican School of Music

We developed a Distance Learning educational program that will give students and schools outside the U.S. the opportunity to attend Jazz Educational Programs in their own cities avoiding not only the huge expense of traveling, living and studying in the U.S. but also the inconveniences of getting a visa.

These educational programs are offered in different formats such as Master Classes, Workshops, Seminars, Intensive Courses and one-year Certificate Program and also Online Classes that you as the Director of your Music School can easily set up as part of your school curricula. Your students will have access to study with the most talented musicians/educators who have been part of the development of Jazz Music in the U.S..

Finally guitar players will get the opportunity to learn about Bill Evans' music and apply Evans' concepts on their instrument. Bill Evans has been maybe the most influential jazz pianist since the 1960's. His approach to playing the instrument was not only a great influence on the techniques of the jazz piano but also, contributed with new harmonic perspectives that took jazz music to other horizons.
Sid Jacobs digs into his musical compositions and transcribed his work in a great book that contains some of the best arrangements of Evan's work for guitar.
Sid arranged Evans’ compositions with the simplicity that only a great musician can achieve. His approach to playing the guitar allows the student to easily access the beauty of Evans music and enlightens the path for the guitar players to explore new ways of playing the Guitar.
