PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY:
"I wanted to send you a note to thank you again for the excellent Weekend Jazz Workshop for Adults. The Workshop was well organized, included excellent, clear (and very patient) instruction on a large variety of key elements...(and) was targeted to the level of the participants..."
- 2001 Participant, D. Williamson
"I will definitely talk this course up to all my jazz acquaintances, as I think all could benefit from this type of weekend. I've attended the U of M camp, which is longer and more intense, and not aimed specifically at adults. I got a lot out of that, but this I found suited my age group much better."
- 2002 Participant, C. Blackburn
"An excellent clinic!"
