About this organization
Mission
The mission of Stanford Jazz Workshop is to educate, entertain, and inspire a community of artists, students, and audience members through the study, performance, and appreciation of jazz — an original American musical form. Our vision is to positively change lives through individual creative expression within a collaborative community that celebrates and perpetuates jazz. Our core values are creativity, diversity and inclusiveness, collaboration, respect, and practice. SJW is neither legally nor financially affiliated with Stanford University.
About
Four weeks of immersive education and performance activities that include in-depth instruction in jazz theory and musicianship (beginner through advanced), individual instrument and vocal master classes with leading jazz artist faculty and emerging professionals, intensive coaching in jazz combo performance and improvisation skills by leading jazz artist faculty and guest artists, a student performance showcase for all enrolled students at the conclusion of each weekly program, and opportunities to attend nightly Stanford Jazz Festival concerts free of charge. Education Programs include Giant Steps Day Camp for musicians ages 11-14, two weeks of Jazz Camp for student musicians ages 12-17 (on the Stanford University campus), and 1 week of Jazz Institute for advanced jazz musicians ages 18 through adult, and selected musicians under age 18 by audition. SJW also recruits a combo of exceptionally talented young jazz artists in their early twenties for two-summer residencies as Mentor Fellows who perform, receive advanced coaching by senior artist-faculty members, and serve as junior faculty members under the guidance of SJWs top jazz faculty. Mentor Fellows receive modest stipends, plus room & board, and have multiple opportunities to perform each of their two summers in residence, and the opportunity to record an album at the end of their second summer residency. Five to six young musicians are selected from a field of more than 75 of this country's leading young jazz musicians, making this among the most competitive opportunities in the country for advanced pre-professional jazz artists/teachers.
