A Workshop Built for Adult Learners!

Welcome to JazzWire Canadian Summit (June 20-22, 2025), one of Canada's only adult jazz workshops for passionate players and students of all ages. Built for adults, our three day jazz camp features a renowned faculty of top-notch recording artists and players, who also happen to be great teachers.

JazzWire and Artistic Director Jeff Antoniuk has produced workshops and jazz camps for adult learners for over 25 years in the USA, and Jeff has brought his vision to Edmonton. Working with him and our faculty, you will have plenty of playing time in your small combo, in improvisation and instrument-specific master classes, and with various Guest Artists. Each evening, we'll host jam sessions & feature concerts for you to join.

Jeff Antoniuk, of Digging Deeper Jazz videos (check them out here), is Artistic Director and Head Educator 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

No matter what instrument you play, you can play small group jazz with us at the Summit! Sax or flute, trumpet or trombone, bass, piano, guitar or drums. We’ve even had viola, cello, mandolin and bassoon join us. We love working with music teachers, and all instruments are welcome!

Built For Adults

Kids get to have too much of the fun (!), which is why we built the JazzWire Canada Summit from the ground up for ADULT musicians. Aimed at our experience, ability and learning style, the Summit is one of the few workshops in the world to truly focus on the adult musician.

A Six Month Bonus

Every Summit 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.

A word from our Artist Director, Jeff Antoniuk:

The Canadian Summit & JazzWire:

The Most Forward-Thinking Jazz Workshop On Earth!

Piano and hands

Over the past 20 years, what we hear most at the end of a workshop is “I wish I knew at the beginning of The Summit what I know now. I’d be so much further ahead!” We’ve taken that sentiment to heart, and have created an amazing wholistic experience that begins well before you arrive at the workshop, and continues long after.

JazzWire is an online, global community for adult jazz students, with hundreds of members from over 25 different counties. All musicians attending full days of the Canadian Summit are JazzWire members, so your experience with us is unlike that of any other camp or workshop in the world.

Once you join JazzWire, you’ll be able to spend the months leading up to the Canadian Summit digging deeper in to our music selections. You’ll be better prepared, more relaxed and confident, and you’ll have met ALL of your Summit workshop peers in advance. JazzWire is a subscription platform, at $50 USD/mo, and you get six months free.
