BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Most summer camps involve arts and crafts and maybe swimming and a game or two, but as you can imagine, Jazz Camp is decidedly different and unique. For two weeks, students come to the camp from 10 – 2 daily and jump right into the music, having a chance to play with the professionals and learning how to improvise, change keys on the fly, and even how to scat like a natural, all while having a great time and learning from musicians who’ve played with the likes of Duke Ellington, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Junior, Mel Tormé, Johnny Mathis, Styx, Lawrence Welk, Dionne Warwick, and so many more household names. This is way more than a summer camp; this could be a life-changer for your student musician - or you.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Music/Band, and more. Jazz.
CAMP LOCATION: On Florida's Treasure Coast, about an hour north of Palm Beach and 90 minutes south of Orlando.
CAMP FACILITIES: Historic, fully-functional 1,500 seat theatre which hosts shows, entertainers, and popular acts all year long.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Five incredible powerhouse talents will cover every aspect of musicianship. We're not talking teen camp counselors; these are professional musicians and educators who have performed with the likes of Duke Ellington, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Junior, Mel Tormé, Johnny Mathis, Styx, Lawrence Welk, Dionne Warwick, and so many more household names, and won so many awards that they've had to put in additions just to hold them all.
Campers won't just practice, learn, and get one-to-one instruction at this camp; they'll have an opportunity to hone their performance skills and play with the seasoned pros, too. This is a dream camp experience for all aspiring musicians.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Weekly Jazz Jams and plenty of live performance opportunities. Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society also presents live musical acts throughout the year, hosts a full week of Jazz Fest every March, and raises funds to provide at least ten scholarships per year for talented young musicians pursuing a career in music.
