Gem State Jazz Camp 2021
Middle School - Combos (TBA)
High SCHOOL - Rhythm Sections (TBA)
Gem State Jazz Camp 2020 was a hit! See you soon!
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.
We are also planning a high school camp for rhythm section players: Piano, guitar, drums, & bass (upright or electric).
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. See Release Form page for details.
Refunds for proven Covid-related cancellations are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
