Enrollment is open for the Nash Jazz Summer Camp at Arizona School for the Arts, a weeklong immersive jazz program for student musicians taking place June 14 to 20 on the ASA campus. 1410 N. 3rd St. in downtown Phoenix.
Open to instrumentalists and vocalists ages 12 and up, the camp offers an intensive, hands-on jazz experience led by a nationally respected faculty of professional performers and educators.
Hosted by jazz club The Nash, the camp is led by legendary drummer Lewis Nash and features an accomplished roster of jazz artists including Rodney Whitaker, Camille Thurman, Pat Bianchi, Typhanie Monique, Corcoran Holt, Rachel Eckroth, Clark Gibson, Ashlin Parker, Mike Kocour, Jeff Libman and Deborah Weisz.
Campers participate in full-day jazz intensive studies, including theory classes, combo rehearsals, improvisation workshops and masterclasses with faculty. Each day concludes with a live faculty concert exclusively for students, allowing campers to connect classroom learning with professional performance practice.
The week culminates with two concerts at The Nash, giving students the opportunity to perform on a professional jazz club stage. A faculty concert takes place on Friday, June 19, at 7 p.m., followed by a student showcase on Saturday, June 20, at 1 p.m.
A limited number of partial and full scholarships are available for students under 18 or currently enrolled in high school or college. Scholarship consideration requires a written statement, with additional performance materials requested for full scholarships. All scholarship materials must be submitted prior to registration.
