Tritone Jazz Camps are just for adults — 21 and over. You'll learn and play jazz for a week in a friendly, non-threatening environment, supported by a faculty of caring, professional jazz musician/educators and surrounded by people just like you.
Each summer jazz camp offers:
five full days of small combo and big band playing
ear training and improvisation
vocal and instrumental master classes
jam sessions
evening concerts featuring faculty and campers
professional players/teachers guiding every session
Adult players and singers of all skill and experience levels are welcome. No tapes, no auditions. Tell us about your experience and we'll place you where you'll feel most comfortable. Ability to read music at tempo is useful, especially for big band, but some "ear players" have a great time at Tritone jazz camps as well.
We specialize in personal attention with a 5:1 camper-to-faculty ratio.
No Tritone jazz camp has ever exceeded 55 campers. We keep it small so you’ll get the full attention of our faculty. Five or six combos, one or two big bands, maybe a dozen singers, and that’s it.
