Building on their overwhelmingly successful MAC Youth After Jazz Class, Temple University Jazz Professor Jake Kelberman (guitar) is offering an exciting week-long immersive Jazz Camp at the Media Arts Council.
Daily instruction will include topics in Jazz History and Appreciation, Music Theory and Analysis, Jazz Improvisation and Aural Skills, and an Introduction to Music Recording and Production. Students will have the opportunity to rehearse daily in a small ensemble and to participate in open-mic jam sessions with their peers and faculty. Culminating in a final public concert, participating students will have a primer in the fundamentals of jazz performance to prepare them for future performances, college auditions, and a lifelong love of America’s musical heritage.
