Students
Students at the Litchfield Jazz Camp range in age from 13 to adult.
Proficiency levels vary, and special effort is made to assign students
to combos that are both comfortable and challenging. Students hail from
69 Connecticut towns and cities, 18 states and as far away as Argentina
.
Many go on to first -rate music programs at institutions like New
England Conservatory of Music, New School, Berklee, and others, many
receiving full scholarships. Our alums are already on tour with Herbie
Hancock, Eddie Allen, Winard Harper, Gary Burton, Donald Harrison and
others.
Here is what students are saying about the
Litchfield Jazz Camp:
“At the Litchfield Jazz Camp you’ll be surrounded by people of all ages
who are serious and accomplished musicians which is an awesome and rare
experience.”
-- Tom Odinak, guitar student, age 49
“The teachers you get to work with blow me away. I’ve never seen
anything like this.”
“You’ll never have this kind of experience any where else… it’s truly
amazing.”
“I loved the complete 24/7 exposure to jazz, the friendliness of the
students, and knowledge of the teachers.”
“I’m not very smart in school but jazz… jazz is the one thing I really
feel good about. This camp is like weeks of just me, just feeling good.”
“I loved the exposure to different types of music and people.”
“It was a great feeling being with others who love music as much as I
do. I don’t have that type of experience in my own school and often wish
there were others in my school as involved in music as I am.”
"The world-famous faculty is down-to-earth and makes us feel we can do
anything."
-- Becky Weinstein, Alto Sax, Age 16, Great Barrington, MA
"Besides the music, I loved the teachers, food, and staying overnight."
-- Rachel Black, Clarinet, Age 13, Brooklyn, NY
"I cannot begin to describe how my soloing has improved."
-- Gavin Newton-Tanzer, Piano, age 15, Easton, CT
"The faculty was encouraging, knowledgeable and supportive."
-- Christine Schmidt, Piano, Adult, Brooklyn, NY
"Very Challenging. As tough as this is for me now, my biggest question
was answered: I really want to do this!"
-- John Rich, Alto Sax, Adult, Gloucester, MA
