Jazz : Understanding the Tools of the Trade
For players and non-players: come to Europe in May to study America's indigenous art form in the hills of northern Italy.

Examine jazz as a springboard to many facets of the contemporary music industry including the topics of desktop production and film scoring.
Enhanced appreciation and listening skills for non-players; sharpened technique and improvisational skills for players through applied study and small group performance.
