    We are looking forward to another exciting summer Jazz Camp. The teachers are planning an exciting 2 week program that will help students grow as musicians, artists all while having fun with students from around the city. Students will have the opportunity to perform on their instruments, sing together, engage in physical movement, as we explore the genre of jazz throughout the day. We will end our time together with a Jazz Extravaganza featuring all of our students our last day, Friday July 12 at 3:00 in the afternoon.  Please plan on attending. 

    * Please note: that on July 4, the Summer Jazz Camp will not be in session.
