Jazz Instrumental Students work with an experienced professional staff from one of the countrys most respected jazz programs. All students play in a big band and have daily master classes based on each students level of experience. The faculty jazz group performs throughout the week and all students perform on Saturdays final concert. Dr. Sam Fagaly, director of EIUs jazz program, oversees this fantastic learning experience for the student jazz musician. Seminars by Broadway choreographers and performers provide students with direct hands-on experiences.
All students participate in a grand final concert.
Private dance and voice lessons available. Campers may audition for our new vocal jazz and small dance ensembles. David Moellenkamp, director of the national award winning Sullivan Singers, directs this spectacular fun learning experience. Campers will have opportunities for small ensemble singing as well as solo performances. Musicianship classes, faculty recitals, and workshops provide students with valuable experience.
