About
Krunk Movement and COL Jazz. The Krunk Movement is a youth micro-enterprise designed as a production company. Students use the five elements of hip-hop to communicate messages to peers about mental and physical health while simultaneously learning the basics of the music business. This includes creating, performing, analyzing, writing, music technology, and all the in-betweens. With a strong focus towards how to be a professional artist in total control of their own economy, the Krunk Movement is a premier program for the talented and developing high school artist. COL Jazz's vision is to mentor children into young musicians in an environment that creates belonging, significance, and security through an array of rehearsal, recording, educational resources, and performances. Through its three bands: Jazz Combo, Large Ensemble, and Bucket Band, COL Jazz offers a variety of instructional environments for all ages and skill levels.
