About.

Jazz in the Mountains helps experienced adult instrumentalists realize musical growth in an enjoyable atmosphere of common goals and shared experiences. ​
Picture
​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.
Picture
​Each element of the camp experience is considered with these goals in mind:
  • Prioritize the musical growth and jazz education of campers over performance
  • Strive to provide a high quality and inspiring music experience for each camper.
  • Expect campers of similar and dissimilar abilities to work together and support each other
  • Offer opportunities for and approaches to improvisation
  • Provide the structure for a positive social experience
  • Staff the camp with individuals whose musical, interpersonal, and educational strengths help us further these goals

Scholarship Opportunities
We believe that music is a gift brought forth from the spirit. We believe that music has no bounds and that every musician should be welcomed, honored, and celebrated. 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. 

If the cost of attending Jazz in the Mountains is prohibitive, the applicant should contact the Camp Administrator with their concerns. BDI (d/b/a JITM) will set aside money to fund some number of partial and/or full subsidies.  Private individuals may choose to contribute to this fund - as administered by BDI.
 
JITM will deliberately give preference, wherever possible, reasonable, and in line with our stated Mission, to applicants who are traditionally underrepresented. We strive to initiate equity and inclusivity at Jazz in the Mountains with regard to gender and race. Applicants will be considered based on our existing standards.
