Jazz Workshop for Youth

Once again this summer, students will be able to attend the John Coltrane Jazz Workshop sponsored by the Arts Council. The workshop was resurrected in 2002 to ensure that the history of jazz in High Point was not lost and that future jazz musicians were nurtured in the very town that inspired Coltrane. The workshop is available to all rising 7th through 12th graders who have had at least one year’s instruction in bass, percussion, guitar/keyboard, brass (trumpet, trombone), or woodwind instruments (clarinet, flute, saxophone).

 The workshop is July 28 – August 1, from 9:00 a.m. until noon, and will be located at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts in High Point . The registration fee for the workshop is $60 (partial and full scholarships are available) which includes a logo t-shirt. Registration is open to the first 100 students who apply by the deadline of June 30!

 During the workshop, students will learn jazz history, jazz theory, and will be taught by educators and performers who are highly regarded as jazz specialists. The faculty for the workshop will be led by Wally West, Executive Director of the North Carolina Jazz Repertory Orchestra. The faculty consists of seven musicians who teach and perform throughout the state.

 On Friday, August 1, at 7:00 p.m. the students and faculty will give a free jazz concert in the auditorium at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts. This renovated auditorium is historically significant for the students of the workshop since it is the site where Coltrane attended school in his youth!

 If you would like to receive a registration form or to request additional information, call Debbie Lumpkins at 889-2787 ext. 22.
