This weeklong jazz camp provides the opportunity for youth in rising grades 7-12 to participate in a fun and intense jazz-learning experience under the direction of professional staff led by Matt Pivec, director of jazz studies at Butler University.  The faculty will include Frank Smith, Jon Crabiel, and Gary Walters.  Sessions may include combo rehearsals, big band rehearsals, jazz improvisation, jazz history and instrument-specific master classes.  The week culminates with a concert on Friday evening featuring all of the campers.
