Jazz Ensemble Camp: Senior High
Sunday, June 17 - Saturday, June 23, 2012
Please note - We have begun a wait list for Trumpet, Guitar, Alto-Saxophone and Tenor-Saxophone.
Our Senior High Jazz Camp takes jazz instruction to the next level by providing students the opportunity to play and perform in a big band as well as with a small combo. Campers will take daily classes in jazz theory, jazz techniques, and jazz history, and will participate in evening jam sessions where they will get an opportunity to work on their improvisation skills while performing for and with other campers and faculty.
