CURRICULUM


  • Ensembles - Upon arrival, students (after registration) are auditioned by faculty. On the following morning, all student ensembles are posted in the dorm lounge. Each ensemble is directed by a faculty member. As many as 8 or 9 ensembles of approximately 6-9 musicians each make up the jazz camp. Ensembles meet three times daily, working on jazz repertoire, improvisational concepts and ensemble playing.


  • Master Classes - All students attend a master class each day for one hour, working with student musicians who play the same instrument under the direction of appropriate faculty.


  • Clinics - In the afternoons, students will have a choice between ear training class and vocal ensemble. Also at this time there will be a jazz literacy class which may include a panel discussion, video/film on the history of jazz or faculty may discuss their personal musical experiences with the students. Additionally, students may have time over the course of their week to schedule a private lesson with an instructor at their mutual convenience.


  • Faculty Concerts - Every evening a concert featuring a different faculty member takes place on campus.


  • Student Concerts - On Friday evening and Saturday afternoon of each week, all student ensembles are featured in performance for family, the camp population and the general public. All concerts are video-taped and made available for purchase.
