Bird discount! Jazz Camp provides a fun, focused, and supportive environment where young musicians study and play with motivated peers and a prestigious faculty of professional musicians and educators. Jazz Camp attracts a diverse, multinational group of young musicians at all levels of experience, from beginning to advanced, including vocalists, string players, classical music players, and those with no previous jazz training. |
| SJW's Jazz Camp curriculum emphasizes ear-training, improvisation, and playing in small combos. Students are evaluated and placed into classes and combos with other musicians at their level. The Jazz Camp experience includes master classes, small ensemble playing, private lessons, and performance opportunities, as well as theory and musicianship instruction. Each week of Jazz Camp culminates in a festive public recital by student combos. In addition to daily class sessions and rehearsals, students are encouraged to attend Stanford Jazz Festival concerts and informal jam sessions to complement their instruction. Students may also participate in a range of activities, including barbecues, social events, and sports and recreation opportunities. See Jazz Camp FAQ's for a sample daily schedule. Jazz Camp participants may choose to stay on campus, or may attend the workshop as a commuter. See our FAQ's for more information. *"Beginning" students are defined as having little or no experience improvising or playing jazz in a small combo but have studied their instrument for at least 18 months. |
