Let’s face it, learning jazz is cool. For one week – July 22-26 – 6th-12th graders will have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the fine art of rhythm and blues at Jazz Camp.

“Jazz improvisation is one of the most expressive forms of music in the world. It gives the artist full control over what it is they want to say. The goal of the Academy Jazz Camp is to continue to teach this art form to the younger generation, so that they may also have the power to fully express themselves through their instrument or voice,” said Michael Saddenki, the camp leader.

Spring Session B – Classes begin in early March

Get ready for Jazz Camp – Private music lessons, including piano, flute, saxophone and clarinet

Can’t think of a better way to prepare for Jazz Camp than students taking private lessons, including piano, clarinet, and yes, the classic Jazz instrument, the saxophone. The clarinet and sax private lessons are new to the Academy of the Arts this March.
