A full curriculum of instrumental classes and a chamber music program runs alongside the jazz offerings, with something for players of every level. Brass players in particular will find this an ideal week to join the chamber music program.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”36″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772250643465{padding-right: 70px !important;}”]\u271a <\/span><\/strong>All things Jazz \ud83c\udfba<\/strong><\/p>\n Work closely with some of Canada\u2019s top jazz musicians.

Classical musicians can explore jazz’s approach to rhythm, melody, and improvisation, while jazz players can sharpen instrumental or vocal technique, work on sight-reading, and experience what it means to play under a conductor’s direction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”36″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772250661378{padding-right: 70px !important;}”]\u271a<\/span> Fuel your creativity with late night jam sessions.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jam sessions at CAMMAC are the stuff of legend \u2013 often running well into the early hours, open to everyone, and entirely unpredictable in the best possible way. This year, the jam session tradition expands to include dedicated sessions for children and teens, giving younger musicians their own space to improvise, experiment, and find their footing before the night takes over. Everyone is welcome, at every age and level.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”36″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772250718678{padding-right: 70px !important;}”]\u271a\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>French horn workshop with Liz Simpson \u2013 the \u201cmust-attend\u201d<\/b> event of the summer for horn players<\/b><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”36″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1779208327420{padding-right: 70px !important;}”]\u271a\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Leadership for teens: inspiring tomorrow’s leaders through music<\/strong><\/p>\n Newly expanded this year, the teen leadership program guides participants through a series of musical exercises, workshops, and jam sessions designed to develop essential skills, from discipline, communication, and creative problem-solving, to the ability to lead and listen in equal measure.
