In addition, instructors will discuss other aspects of performance such as overcoming stage fright and developmental concepts such as building set lists and selecting material.

Please pack a lunch and drink – we will take a half hour break each day. Some experience with your instrument required. Singers and horn players are welcome.

On Friday, we will participate in a recording session at the Jazz Academy during the day, and CAMP Blues will conclude with a public performance at the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival in Gahanna. More details will be available during camp week; there is an admission fee for the festival for family and friends.
