A Workshop Built for Adult Learners!
Welcome to the JazzWire Saxophone & Improvisation Summit, where we invite you to join other passionate sax players and improvisers on ALL INSTRUMENTS for an immersive experience of learning and fun. Built for adults, our jazz workshop features a renowned faculty of top-notch artists, who also happen to be great teachers.
JazzWire and Artistic Director Jeff Antoniuk have produced workshops and jazz camps for adult learners for over 25 years in the USA, and Jeff is finally bringing his vision to Edmonton. Working with him and our faculty, you will have plenty of playing time in your small combo, in improvisation and saxophone classes, and with various Guest Artists. Sunday night after our day ends, the night begins! We'll host a Jam Session & Concert for you to join.
Jeff Antoniuk is Artistic Director and one of your teachers for the Summit. He has hundreds of students in over 25 countries through JazzWire, and his free educational videos have been viewed on YouTube well over three million times. Jeff has been called “the best teacher I’ve ever had” by many students, and his warm and supportive style sets a light tone for the workshop. But don’t let that attitude fool you—we are serious about our learning too!

All Instruments Welcome
We are a saxophone workshop, but the afternoon of each day will revolve around improvisation classes and playing together and trying out new ideas. If you play bass or trumpet, trombone or piano, guitar or drums, please join us for reduced tuition from 1:45 - 5:30pm. All instruments are welcome!
Saxophones RULE
Yes, it had to be said. The Saxophone Summit will involve a ton of instruction on the sax, including guidance on tone and technique, style and mechanics, and probably even a reed and mouthpiece discussion or two! Come geek out with some of the best saxophone coaches from the USA and Canada.
A Six Month Workshop
Every full-day attendee receives a FREE six-month subscription to JazzWire, our online platform. Work with hundreds of adult musicians around the world and over 25 different countries. A $300 USD value! You’ll work together for months BEFORE the workshop on the music, and you will keep getting input long after.
