Jazz in the Mountains helps experienced adult instrumentalists realize musical growth in an enjoyable atmosphere of common goals and shared experiences.
Besides the afternoon clinics and sectionals, the evening performances and jam sessions, campers will take part in an ensemble with rehearsals, practice, and preparation leading up to the Thursday Evening Performance. Issues of ensemble sound, jazz interpretation, styles, improvisation, technique, personal sound, repertoire, and stage presence will be part of that preparation. Patience, cooperation, contributions to the community, and growth through constructive criticism will be hallmarks of a successful jazz experience.

We believe that under the care and tutelage of those who have gone before us, a musician can develop through instruction and encouragement. In this way, musicians can grow and explore – and thus create art that brings joy and benefit to all humanity.
