\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">Terence Blanchard receives the Gutenberg Teaching Award from JGU Mainz for his extraordinary work as a musician, composer and, in particular, as a dedicated teacher and mentor. As a celebrated jazz trumpeter, opera and film composer, he has released over 20 albums and composed the music for more than 60 films. He has won several Grammy Awards and has twice been nominated for an Oscar for Best Film Score.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">At the center of his award, however, is Blanchard&#8217;s visionary role as an educator. He is considered one of the most influential jazz teachers of our time and has shaped institutions such as the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz (formerly the Thelonious Monk Institute). Blanchard has taught at renowned universities such as the Berklee College of Music in Boston and the University of Miami and in 2023 took over as artistic director of SFJAZZ in San Francisco, an organization that reaches over 250,000 people a year with a wide range of educational programs and concerts. In his teaching, Blanchard emphasizes composition as a starting point for creative development. He promotes an experimental, equal learning environment in which every idea counts &#8211; regardless of origin or gender. For him, jazz education is a &#8220;laboratory&#8221; that should enable young people not only to play, but also to develop their own musical visions. He also embodies this attitude as a bandleader by constantly promoting young talent.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">Blanchard&#8217;s commitment to social justice also flows into his work as a teacher. He sees music as a means of enlightenment, dialog and encouragement. His work is an appeal to responsibility and humanity &#8211; and thus an outstanding example of the combination of artistic excellence and educational mission.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:74px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n    <div style=\"display: none\">\n        \n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The winner of the Gutenberg Teaching Award 2025, Terence Blanchard, will visit the JGU on the 16th and 17th of July 2026.

As a celebrated jazz trumpeter, opera and film composer, he has released over 20 albums and composed the music for more than 60 films. He has won several Grammy Awards and has twice been nominated for an Oscar for Best Film Score.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">At the center of his award, however, is Blanchard's visionary role as an educator. He is considered one of the most influential jazz teachers of our time and has shaped institutions such as the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz (formerly the Thelonious Monk Institute). Blanchard has taught at renowned universities such as the Berklee College of Music in Boston and the University of Miami and in 2023 took over as artistic director of SFJAZZ in San Francisco, an organization that reaches over 250,000 people a year with a wide range of educational programs and concerts. In his teaching, Blanchard emphasizes composition as a starting point for creative development. He promotes an experimental, equal learning environment in which every idea counts - regardless of origin or gender. For him, jazz education is a \"laboratory\" that should enable young people not only to play, but also to develop their own musical visions. He also embodies this attitude as a bandleader by constantly promoting young talent.      <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">Blanchard's commitment to social justice also flows into his work as a teacher. He sees music as a means of enlightenment, dialog and encouragement. His work is an appeal to responsibility and humanity - and thus an outstanding example of the combination of artistic excellence and educational mission.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"74px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:74px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer --><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:media-text -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1775"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40018"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40672,"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/40018\/revisions\/40672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glk.uni-mainz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
