Adult Amateurs & Semi-Pros

The Summit helps serious semi-pros and adult amateurs get to the next level in their playing. If you are eager to dig in, trading 4s with faculty, and to work with some of the finest players and teacher on the scene today, you have found your place! We are a great “winter refresher course” for full time music teachers. Novice jazz players are also very welcome to get moving with us - you supply the passion, and we’ll get you playing better than you ever thought possible. This works because we know you and your playing from the work we will do together, in advance, at JazzWire.

Show Up Prepared & Leave With A Plan

When you register for The Summit, you’ll become a member of JazzWire, the only online community for adult jazz players (6-month initial commitment). There, EVERY participant at The Summit will be working together before the January workshops, investigating and practicing the music together. Imagine showing up on day one, confident, relaxed and ready to go! And then, when The Summit is over, you’ll have a plan for your musical future. JazzWire will be your ongoing jazz workshop throughout the year. See more on JazzWire below.

The Summit & JazzWire.net: The Most Forward-Thinking Jazz Camp On Earth

For more than 20 years, we have heard two wishes at the end of camp: (1) that attendees had known about us sooner, and (2) that they could continue to accelerate their learning after returning home from camp. We’ve taken that sentiment to heart, and combined forces with JazzWire.net, a breakthrough experience in adult jazz education that begins well before you arrive at camp, and continues long after.

When you sign up for The Summit, you will also join JazzWire.net. This platform is unique in allowing our members to post recordings for comment by instructors and other community members. You'll get actionable feedback every time you post. This daily interaction supplements the individualized Growth Plan and Evaluation you will receive upon joining.

Before the The Summit, you will have the opportunity to practice the songs we will delve into during the camp. Your fellow campers will be your friends from JazzWire. In short, you will be primed for an enjoyable, relaxed and educational camp experience. Find out more on the Workshop Information page, or visit JazzWire.net here

Looking Forward to seeing you there!
