URI Summer Intensive Jazz Camp

 

July 5th-9th 2010

 

The University of Rhode Island Preparatory Music Program is offering the fifth annual exciting, creative, educational, and inspiring Summer Intensive Jazz Week for students in grades 9-12 and adults. Younger students with experience may apply.

 

     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, Steve Langone and Mark Berney.Faculty specializing in voice, piano, guitar, bass, brasses, winds and percussion/drum set will create a well-rounded instrumentation. We are delighted to welcome jazz vocalist Shawnn Monteiro to our camp faculty for 2010.
