Camp Description This
camp is a jazz improvisation camp, not to be confused with a jazz band
camp. The difference is that the emphasis is placed on improvisation, not
on ensemble performance. It is geared mostly towards young musicians who
wish to learn how to improvise. Mr.
Eddie Lewis has taught jazz improvisation at the High School for
Performing and Visual Arts, at various summer jazz camps, at other Consort
Immanuel workshops and in private lessons. He is not only an experienced
jazz musician himself but also quite an accomplished jazz teacher. Mr.
Lewis will work with the students in what he calls the "Five Areas of
Study". This will be a hands on approach with lots of written music
and exercises for them to practice. Many
approaches to jazz improvisation are stifling and intimidating. This camp
is different. The students will improvise within their first hour in the
camp and will sound good doing it. Improvisation is not difficult. Making
it sound like jazz is the challenge. So we will begin with improvisation
and slowly add the jazz material as we move forward during the week.
