Jazz Odyssey day camp, open to both middle and high school students, provides hands-on experience with jazz improvisation in small group settings. Sessions will focus on developing aural, theory and compositional skills. In addition, students will have master classes in jazz history and jazz performance. Special topics will include: world percussion, playing with a rhythm section, transcribing solos, and a session highlighting instruments not typically associated with jazz.
Students will be grouped according to age, instrument and experience. Daily lunch and dinner on Friday included. A Friday evening performance is open to families.
Eligibility
Jazz Odyssey is open to students entering grades 6-12. All instruments are welcome-campers just need to be actively playing any instrument or singing!
