Honors Jazz Ensemble
June 15-21, 2008

Jazz students will find new levels of instruction and performance opportunities at our Jazz Ensemble camp. Accepting approximately 60 students, jazzers will be able to play, perform, improvise, and explore under the direction of the FSU College of Music Jazz Faculty. Our Honors Camps combine the best aspects of our individual workshops and our large ensemble camps to create a premier educational experience. Each camp is designed to provide select music students with the kind of challenging, inspiring and motivating
instruction that can only be found at FSU.

Auditions are required.
When you audition for an honors camp, you are automatically considered
for a scholarship.
