Teaching

In 2025, Annie Booth was appointed Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Learn more about the acclaimed Thompson Jazz Studies Program here.

Annie brings extensive and wide-ranging experience as a jazz educator, guided by her mission to create more equitable and inclusive spaces in jazz. She appears across North America as a guest artist-educator at educational jazz festivals and university programs, and frequently serves as a guest director for All-State and regional honor jazz ensembles. Her workshops and lectures cover topics including jazz composition, jazz arranging, jazz piano, jazz improvisation, and music business.

In 2017, Annie founded the SheBop Young Women in Jazz Workshop through the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, helping to foster inclusivity and empower young women to find their voices through jazz. Since its inception, the two-day workshop has taken place ten times across Colorado, cultivating a powerful network of female mentors and mentees and contributing to a measurable rise in young women pursuing jazz at the university and professional level.

Above all, Annie is a warm and empathetic educator who values clear communication and thoughtful, organized teaching.
