Chamber Music is one of the unique features of the FAMU summer band camp. Our chamber program will offer students opportunities to perform music in smaller settings that relates to woodwind, brass, and percussion ensembles. Literature will focus and meet students where they are, but also motivate those campers who desire to perform advance literature and prepare them for next level performances. A major bonus will include offering campers’ masterclasses on every instrument in the wind, percussion, and string family. This year we’ve added a concentration for piano campers that will strengthen their knowledge on standard piano literature.

Jazz camp provides students the opportunity to study and learn from world class professional and accomplished jazz musicians. Various jazz styles and contemporary music are covered in this camp. Students will learn to improve sight music reading, ensemble performance, stylistic interpretation and improvisation skills. Small and large group studies with professional jazz musicians on each instrument will be provided. The camp will provide instruction for students at all skill and ability levels.
