The Texas Jazz & Blues Camp is coming in June 2020 to Austin, Texas and is a partnership between the New School of Music in Austin and the Litchfield Jazz Camp in Connecticut, which has a deep and rich history of providing a top tier national jazz
Texas Jazz & Blues Camp is an all-embracing program focused on musical and personal growth where our students can learn by hearing the greats on our staff and each other. While the commitment to the music is at the highest level, the program is not competitive. There is no pre-audition required.
We listen to you when you arrive and assign you to a combo at your own level. Need-based and merit scholarships are available.
Students
Students are ages 12 to adult, with most in their mid-teens. Previous jazz experience is preferred but not required, as long as the student has the equivalent of 2 years’ experience on their instrument, and has an interest in learning to improvise.
Groups are welcome to attend and be coached together. Instrumentalists and vocalists are welcome.
End-of-Week Concert & Daily Jams
Performance opportunities abound! End of day student jams are available, and the end-of-week concert features student combos and faculty. Parents, guests and Campers are welcome free of charge.
