NEW YORK CITY -- The New York Jazz Academy, the city's newest music school, will soon be opening its doors, and is now accepting summer and fall 2009 registration inquiries from all interested parents and students. The New York Jazz Academy 2009 Summer Saxophone Workshops, open to aspiring saxophonists, ages 11-19, are offered the weeks of July 13-17 and July 20-24, from 9am-3pm, in Manhattan at Park Avenue and 50th Street.
Each workshop session accepts only a select number of applicants for participation in a week-long saxophone day camp in New York City. With a focus entirely on saxophone, the workshops offer a one-of-a-kind experience for saxophonists. Students will be given the opportunity to jam, rehearse, and perform with like-minded peers and professional jazz instructors in a totally immersive environment. Topics covered during the workshop include saxophone technique, instrument care, intonation, articulation, jazz theory and improvisation, saxophone ensemble rehearsals, jazz jam sessions, personalized coaching and instruction, and much more. Students new to jazz will receive an excellent and clear introduction to the music. More advanced students will have an opportunity to work on fine-tuning their craft while learning new approaches to improvising and saxophone playing. All students will leave the workshop with a significantly wider grasp on all things saxophone.
New York Jazz Academy offers the highest quality jazz music instruction to New York City students of all ages. Recognizing the lack of opportunity among many NYC students to play in school jazz ensembles, the New York Jazz Academy offers low-cost weekly big band rehearsals, sectionals, jam sessions, and jazz improvisation seminars. NYJA also offers in-home private lessons.
Those who are interested in signing up for the New York Jazz Academy 2009 Summer Saxophone Workshops or Fall Semester 2009 lessons and workshops may contact New York Jazz Academy program director Javier Arau at [email protected] or (718) 426-0633.
