As a jazz educator, Lisa Henry takes the legacy and brilliance of jazz into classrooms and onto college campuses across the globe. Through interactive classroom and assembly programs, vocal clinics, music business workshops and performance adjudications, her teaching reaches students from preschool age to university level students.
