The Jazzschool is proud to offer a range of summer camps and intensives for young musicians (middle school and high school age). These fun, immersive programs are a great way to jump-start your learning, by working with our talented instructors for a week or more. They also serve as the perfect forum for you to connect with like-minded musicians from around the Bay Area and beyond.
Our camps and intensives conclude with a concert at the Jazzschool, free and open to the public. Space is limited and each of these programs is certain to sell out! Early registration is highly recommended.
In this fun week-long jazz camp, young musicians entering grades 7 – 9 explore the world of jazz and related styles of music. Led by experienced professional musicians, campers will learn the fundamental skills and techniques of jazz performance, including improvisation, theory, and ensemble playing.
Six to eight advanced high school musicians are selected to work closely with top Bay Area jazz artists for a week of rehearsals, master classes, and private lessons, concluding with a public performance at the Jazzschool. For all rhythm section instruments and horns.
