Vocal Jazz Camp

Daily Schedule

Over the course of the week, Full Campers will be assigned to an ensemble directed by one of the members of New York Voices, choose from a wide variety of electives, enjoy One on One coaching from NYV, sing in Performance Hour and present music to be considered for the always inspiring evening camper concerts which spotlight performances the faculty has heard in their various sessions.  Associate Campers may choose from all the electives and are assigned to an ensemble directed by our special guest faculty member (TBA), as well as enjoy One on One coaching from them.  Either track is highly enjoyable and stimulating, so if budget is of concern, we hope you find one of these two pathways a winning opportunity to seize upon.

Pre-established groups are welcome and encouraged to register and we will provide One on One coaching to you as an ensemble so you can grow as a collective.

A Sample of possible electives are:

Songwriting • Before and After • Singers You Should Know • Body, Breath, and Sound        • The Importance of Rhythm • Making a Song Your Own • Beginning and Advanced Arranging • Intermediate Improv • Advanced Improv • Artist in the Making • Use Your Ears Ensemble • Lyrical Improv and Phrasing • The Business of Me • Vocal Health               • Portuguese • Jazz History • Percussion • Listening Through the Layers • Writing your First Chart • Solo Transcriptions

Concerts, Concerts, Concerts!!

There is music every night to be enjoyed in the WMU Auditorium.  Early in the week we feature the pride of WMU, Gold Company, as well as the incredible guest faculty which includes the Camp Director and Director of Gold Company, Greg Jasperse.  As well you will hear from the other special guest faculty members TBA.  Next up is a night of  the individual members of NYV stretching out in their solo artist projects.  And then we begin to hear from our campers on the grand stage with the music they either worked on in their one on ones or shared in the many electives.  These are inspired concerts because the range and depth of talent is always vast and exciting to celebrate.

Tickets will be available once registration begins
