Since 1991 the JSO runs the JSO Community Music School with the goals of providing private and group instruction on orchestral instruments for community residents and providing additional employment opportunities for orchestra members to attract and maintain quality players for the orchestra. The music school instructs over 200 students and maintains a faculty of 16 instructors, most of whom are orchestra members.
