1313 Music welcomes applications to the Jerry Granelli Teaching Mentorship program as part of the 2026 Creative Music Workshop (CMW). The Jerry Granelli Teaching Mentorship is intended as an opportunity for alumni of the CMW, who have active improvisation and teaching practice, to learn about the core teaching philosophy of the CMW to enhance their own teaching practices.
