Jazz Band
Jazz Band is a full week of jazz studies including performing with a big band, studying jazz theory and improvisation, performing in combos, attending jazz master classes and having the option to study privately with one of IMC’s artist-teachers. Campers performing in a combo will participate in a Friday afternoon performance, and big bands will perform on Saturday. Guitar and bass students must bring their own amps, and drummers must bring their own drumset. This program is open to students completing grades 7-12 with at least three years of playing experience. Optional private lessons are highly encouraged! Bass campers will be limited to one set of lessons.
