Treasure Valley Vocal Jazz Camp July 31- August 3rd, 2023

Our philosophy is to provide an opportunity for the 8th - 12th grade student to experience jazz both in the ensemble and as a soloist. The creative elements of the art form are experienced through performance in large and small group settings, as well as solo work. The Great American Songbook is discussed and experienced through listening sessions.  Students who are involved in their school programs will gain valuable experience at camp to set them on the right track to start their new school year. 

Camp Registration is limited to: 

100 Student Vocalists 

16 Instrumentalists (4 per instrument) 

4 Sound Technicians 

No limit for educators
