Please use this form to register for Opus Ithaca's Jazz Camp, running July 6-10.
Camp is for musicians ages 12-18 who play drums, bass, guitar, piano, brass, and woodwinds, playing at a recommended NYSSMA level II-VI. We will place students in the appropriate level for camp based on their ability and experience.
This camp will run 2-3 hours daily with small and large group instruction, improv classes, jazz history and theory classes and virtual recording experience. Times to be determined. Students will receive the opportunity to work with master teachers and players Paul Merrill, Melissa Gardner, Peter Chwazik and Mike Treat.
Schedule: To be determined.
Tuition: $225
TECHNOLOGICAL NEEDS FOR ALL CAMPS:
Once student has registered via google form, a PayPal bill will be sent via email for a $75 non-refundable deposit, due upon receipt. When the deposit has been received, your camp spot will be reserved. Registration is closed one month before the camp starts. A second bill will be sent at this time. The remainder of the tuition is due two weeks before the starting date.
If spots for camps fill up due to increased demand, we will do our best to offer more sessions and times for each camp.
If your family is not already a part of Opus, there will also be a $10 registration fee for each camp.
All classes will be held via Zoom.
Do you have a device that will support zoom instruction?
Typically, Zoom and music lessons, recitals and group activities do not work well on google Chrome books.
Does your family have a device that will work?
Will your home internet be able to connect ok and have a strong bandwidth, so that your musician will be heard and seen clearly? Also, we at Opus know that the internet and zoom will have it’s issues from time to time. We will do everything on our end to facilitate and make sure it works. Before camp, we will send special Zoom settings for your device to make music audio better for the other listeners, and we ask that you help set this up on your device in advance.
Please know that Opus can’t be held accountable because of the connectivity and internet glitches that sometimes happen. No refunds can be given due to technical issues.
