CSN Jazz Combo Camp

July 20 through July 25, 2008
Instrumental and Vocal Jazz

The College of Southern Nevada and its Department of Fine Arts are very proud to present the Eleventh Annual CSN Jazz Combo Camp on behalf of jazz students everywhere. Las Vegas is unique to the entire country, with some of the finest jazz musicians in the world in residence here. Nowhere except Las Vegas will you find musicians from bands such as Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, and Stan Kenton playing side by side with students just beginning the exciting journey into jazz and improvisation.

Open to vocalists and instrumentalists of all abilities and ages (middle-school to senior citizens), the camp will provide the opportunity for students to not only learn from, but study with, play with, and listen to jazz musicians of the highest caliber. Besides learning, you will have FUN!!

The vocal element of the CSN Jazz Camp is designed to expose students to the world of vocal jazz. Students will learn the basics of vocal production, jazz singing in a group and solo formats, improvisation and microphone technique.

Daily performances by the faculty are a highlight for the community and camp participants. The five-day camp will conclude with performances by the camp's student groups beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 25th.
This Grand Finale event in the Student Lounge is free and open to the public.
