All in all an informative piece, and some nice use of multiple screens showing a diversity of activities.
Because the piece is all about music, though, it suffers a bit from less-than-stellar audio quality. It sounds like it was miked with a built-in camcorder mike far back from the subject, washing out the players and speakers with a lot of room reverb. You might consider getting some concert recordings with good quality (did they record the concerts?) and using that to underlie the video. And if you can get the jazz artists to re-record some of their comments straight into a mike or with a lavalier mike of some kind for better quality, you might use their comments to underlie video of some of the different groups playing. The interviews with the musicians are interesting and add some good points to what you're presenting. I don't think you need to keep the talkers on screen, though, for the whole time they're talking. I think you'll keep the viewer's attention more if you start them talking, then cut to students or teachers in activities that point up what they're talking about, all while the musician's talk continues underneath, perhaps mixed in with the music played in the overlying clips. That's it for quick first impressions, and just one person's opinion. Some nice work about an interesting subject. Mike Boom P.S. I like your white subtitles with the dark "glow" around them. They work very well on any background. Is there a specific Premiere tool you used to get them?
