Thank you for your interest in the 2021 Gem State Jazz Camp! This is a new summer instrumental jazz camp for students entering 7th, 8th, & 9th grades. It is hosted by local music educators and professional jazz musicians, David Gluck, Jimmy Lawrence, Jared Sene, and Alex Lardie.
Our high school camp also begins this year for rhythm section players: piano, guitar, drums, & bass.
Students will have fun learning what it takes to be a musician in a small jazz combo, and they'll be more than ready to take on the challenges of studying jazz in their school! Our camp kick-off will begin with a faculty performance.
Note - COVID-19 guidelines added July 1, 2020 - protocols are in transition and we will keep you updated. See Release Form page for details.
Refunds for proven Covid-related cancellations are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
