Programs
Junior Jazz - Junior Camp Only
This program is new for 2005 and is based on our highly successful and popular Senior Camp Jazz program. Students in this new program should have a minimum of one year’s playing experience on their instrument. They will participate in big bands and combos and will learn the basics of improvisation while improving their fundamental playing skills.
The jazz faculty at N.M.C. is a unique group of outstanding performers and teachers. Together they constitute one phenomenal big band, led by Larry Shields, our Jazz Director. As full-time resident teachers and conductors, they perform in concert every single evening. Imagine attending a superb jazz concert every night plus having the opportunity to learn from and interact with these fabulous musicians as part of your daily routine.
There is a mandatory rental program for all rhythm ( bass, guitar and drums) and vocal students. This covers the cost of renting drumsets, keyboards, amps, microphones and sound equipment.
