A faculty of jazz professionals will teach instrumental/vocal master classes, improvisation, jazz listening (how to listen, and who to listen to, old and new), modern jazz combo playing (and perhaps big band), with concerts each night (open to the public) where advanced students sit in with the professionals. A major "perk" will be students hanging out with the faculty at meals, story sessions (ie. about the big bands), and jam sessions. The students can be players or non-players (auditors). No prior expertise is required. A spouse or other family member who is not a student, is welcome to stay free with the student and to take advantage of the special meal package available to the students. The enjoyment of the resort facilities, pool, and surrounding woods and water are an important part of the Holiday Acres experience. This will be an intimate event with 25-30 students maximum |
