Jazz Maui presents Jazz Maui Camp 2024, a series of inspiring clinics designed for aspiring jazz vocalists and musicians of all ages including high school and college students and adults. Jazz Maui Camp’s clinicians include four of New York City’s finest young jazz musicians; leading figures of Maui’s jazz scene that have toured and taught internationally; and, two outstanding vocalists that have performed and recorded worldwide. Clinics will focus on instrument and vocal-specific jazz techniques, performance practice, and jazz improvisation, often in hands-on settings. Participants may attend as many sessions as they like, held mostly in the evenings between July 1 and July 11 at Backlit Buddha Studios in Kahului. To secure a seat for the clinics please reserve your spot here. We look forward to seeing you!
