MADCAP Jazz is a week-long morning day camp for young people interested in jazz with optional add-on afternoon classes. The camp is intended both for experienced jazz players as well as those who are brand-new to jazz.
MADCAP Jazz for Strings involves two sections – the morning camp for more advanced jazz string players and the afternoon camp for elementary and intermediate string players. MADCAP Jazz Camp String Director, Jerry Lynn, will confirm which camp is the better choice for string students at the auditions in June.
