Gem State Jazz Camp

Thank you to our sponsors!

Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Gem State Jazz Camp! This is a new summer instrumental jazz camp for students entering 7th, 8th, & 9th grades, and now we are opening a second camp for high school rhythm sections. It is hosted by local music educators and professional jazz musicians, David Gluck, Jimmy Lawrence, Jared Sene, and T.J. Eriksen.

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! High schoolers will refine their skills as the backbone of the band, the rhythm section, while developing small ensemble skills. Our camp kick-off will begin with a faculty performance, and we have a special guest joining us!

The camps will include:
Instrument masterclasses
Combo coaching
Guest clinicians
Jazz listening and analysis
Jazz theory & improvisation sessions
Large-group music recreation activities
Memorable Camp T-Shirt
Door prizes from Exodus Music and our sponsors
