Open Music Collective

The Open Music Collective is a place for musicians.

The Open Music Collective is a collection of local, regional and national artists who come together to perform, teach, and appreciate music. We offer mentoring programs – master-classes, workshops, private lessons, ensemble courses, and jam sessions. As a result, we are a gathering place for musicians of all styles and all levels. At OMC, everyone is welcome!

Music is a continuum of tradition and experimentation. Historically, music has evolved through mentor and student relationships. Students not only learn how to be musicians (from musicians), but also they become part of a musical legacy. Although each of us must find our unique musical voice, that voice will always show influence from those who have come before. At the OMC, this influence is deeply rooted in jazz history.

Come to the OMC to learn how to listen, interpret and manipulate rhythm, experiment within and outside of a form, use dynamics in your sound, develop articulation nuances, discover the power of role models, and the meaning of trust.

The OMC hopes that all who participate, novice to master, are inspired and enlightened.
