Summer Jazz Improvisation & Theory Intensive
July 10 - 14 * 9:00 AM - 12:00 NOON
Bone up on the inner workings of music for a week in Columbus, Ohio in July.
Every musician's “toolbox" should include a basic understanding of intervals, scales, and harmony. Playing music without this knowledge is like building a house without a hammer and saw. Knowing “how music works" leads to a deeper interpretation of written music as well as opening the doors towards creating your own music. Don't go to your grave with your music still inside you.
The Summer Jazz Intensive is an extension of the weekly Jazz Workshop in which students play in combos with coaching by professional jazz musicians. The program welcomes all intermediate student musicians but is specifically geared towards classical musicians who want to learn more about improvisation and theory.
“I loved the jazz intensive. I enjoyed watching you work with the students and I picked up a lot of missing puzzle pieces to incorporate into my own teaching"--Christina (piano teacher)
