Jazz Workshop

Jazz Workshop

Our week-long program is designed to give musicians the opportunity to explore and deepen their knowledge of jazz improvisation in the context of ensemble performance. The Workshop is held at Delta Community Music School in Ladner. BC.
Vocalists and instrumentalists are both welcome!

• Open to students 12 years and older as well as adults, the Workshop provides an opportunity for musicians to focus on becoming better jazz players and performers. 
• Students will be placed in ensembles according to their ability and experience, and the majority of their time will be spent playing together and learning jazz repertoire and improvisation. Classes in jazz history and theory will also be offered. 
• Daily concerts and master classes with esteemed guest artists inspire, excite, and motivate. Workshop faculty is comprised of professional musicians both local and international, who are also experienced and skilled educators. 
• Students will have the opportunity to perform at an outdoor concert on the final day, as well as an evening jam session at a local café.
