The faculty was great! They were funny, friendly, and very skilled and experienced on the subject of jazz. They helped me appreciate jazz and understand it better.
About Litchfield Jazz Camp...
Founded in 1997, Litchfield Jazz Camp now serves 130-180 residential and day students each week for 1 to 5 week sessions on the campus of Kent School in Kent, Connecticut. Run by Litchfield Performing Arts, a charitable organization dedicated to changing lives through music, the Camp's philosophy is simple. We start with a faculty of amazing and inspiring jazz musicians. To that we add in eager music students to a non-competitive program. That is how the collaborative, supportive and fun atmosphere at Litchfield Jazz Camp is created. Find out for yourself! Register now for summer 2013.Jazz Camp teaching Artists Include...
