Building on their overwhelmingly successful MAC Youth After Jazz Class, Temple University Jazz Professor Jake Kelberman (guitar) is offering an exciting week-long immersive Jazz Camp. Daily instruction includes Jazz History and Appreciation, Music Theory and Analysis, Jazz Improvisation and Aural Skills, and an Introduction to Music Recording and Production. Students will have the opportunity to rehearse daily in a small ensemble and to participate in open-mic jam sessions with their peers and faculty. Culminating in a final public concert, participating students will have a primer in the fundamentals of jazz performance to prepare them for future performances, college auditions, and a lifelong love of America’s musical heritage.

Open to instrumentalists and vocalists from 8th-12th grade.

The Summer Jazz Camp session is $400. It is discounted $15 for MAC members and $50 for a sibling student. Scholarships are available upon request. Please email education@mediaartscouncil.org.
