If you’re looking for an advanced jazz experience to challenge you to reach new levels of jazz playing, SJW’s two-week Advanced Package program is for you. A 13-day immersion with motivated students from around the world, the Advanced Package takes an inter-generational approach that gives unparalleled access to some of the greatest jazz musicians performing today, so young players like you can learn directly from living legends, touring artists, and recording pros.
During the first week, the curriculum is structured and participants follow a special schedule based on their needs and skill as a jazz musician. During the second week, you can choose your own classes from a curriculum that focuses on improvisation and includes small ensemble playing, masterclasses, and performance opportunities, as well as classes in theory, musicianship, arranging, jazz history, and more. Admission to nightly Stanford Jazz Festival performances is included, and there are several jam sessions each evening.
