Maryland Summer Jazz includes TWO FOUR-DAY sessions of playing, learning, workshops, jam sessions and faculty concerts. Enrollment is limited to give you lots of personal attention and playing time. The faculty student ratio is 1:7. The learning environment is focused, intimate and effective. MOST of our playing at MSJ is in a jazz small group – no time wasted sitting in boring classes!
The majority of the time is spent at Maryland Summer Jazz in full small group sessions led by our world-class faculty. Instead of taking notes in a theory class or rehashing private lesson material you could get elsewhere, you’ll learn the way jazz should be learned – by playing with a mentor. Improvisation, theory, arranging, history and group dynamics are discussed, and demonstrated. This is information you’ll never get in an online course, and that you’ll never learn in your practice room with a book!
