This is a new take on our Eastman Experience: Summer Jazz Studies program, but redesigned as a week-long day camp for local high school students. This rigorous program provides an intensive, performance-based experience for highly motivated students currently in grades 9–12 and is ideally suited for those considering jazz studies at the collegiate level. Students work directly with the renowned Eastman School of Music jazz faculty in a program designed to enhance improvisational and ensemble skills.
