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. 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, Joe Parillo and others TBA. Faculty specializing in voice, piano, guitar, bass, brasses, winds and percussion/drum set will create a well-rounded instrumentation.

Each camper will be assigned to at least two ensembles which will enable them to work on many different styles.Drummers will play on a world of instruments in percussion ensemble.

Camp begins on Monday July 9th at 9:30am with a general meeting. Resident campers will move into their dorms Monday am after placement auditions. Day campers will be dismissed at 5:00pm daily. Camp ends with the final student concert on Saturday July 14th at 11:00am.

New for 2012- housing and meals will be available for jazz campers. Adult supervisors will create safe and fun experience for overnight campers.
