URI Summer Jazz Camp 2009
The University of Rhode
Island Preparatory Music Program is offering the fourth annual exciting, creative,
educational, and inspiring Summer Intensive Jazz Week for students in grades
9-12 and adults.
Jam packed with Big Bands, theory and specialized classes, combos,
Master classes, and concerts, students will learn in an intensive, noncompetitive
setting taught by URI's award-winning jazz and percussion faculty led by Joe
Parillo and Eric
Hofbauer. Small class size
enhances individual attention and focus on the student.
Classes will include theory, improvisation and ear training.
Master Classes in each instrument will be offered, featuring faculty
artists Jared Sims, Dave
Zinno, and others. Faculty specializing
in piano, guitar, bass, drum set, percussion, saxophone and brasses will create
a well-rounded balance of instruments.
