I have the opportunity this summer to attend the NYU Summer Jazz Improv Workshop: PARIS! I'm looking forward to meeting NYU Jazz faculty Dave Pietro and Dave Schroeder along with other jazz artists and educators in Paris for an exciting, immersive experience in jazz and French culture. Not only am I looking forward to making great music, but getting to practice my French!
It is a two-week intensive that includes daily faculty-directed small groups, jazz theory and improvisation classes and master classes with leading jazz artists from around Europe. Recording sessions and performances at Paris venues will be scheduled weekly. Additionally, we will also have time to see the sites, visit museums, attend jazz clubs and enjoy French cuisine.
