Start Summer on a High Note
For over 30 years, middle and high school musicians have learned about jazz from members of We Six during their annual week-long day camp. Students will perform jazz classics in small ensembles, participate in improvisation workshops, hear live performances, and learn about Milwaukee's unique jazz history. MJI's camps are ideal for beginning and experienced jazz players.
​This is an amazing opportunity for students to learn from top jazz artists including Juli Wood, Eric Jacobson, Paul Silbergleit, Mark Davis, Jeff Hamann, and David Bayles.
Morning Add-on Options: 10:30 AM - 12 PM, $145
(Available for those attending High School Camp)
