If you’re interested in learning how to play jazz, then Jazz Camp is for you!
The New Mexico Jazz Workshop’s popular camp will build campers' jazz playing and improvisational skills in a supportive, engaging environment.
At Jazz Camp, you can build your skills and confidence in soloing and music theory. The small group size allows for lots of individual attention. Students will apply theoretical concepts through improvisation, interpretation, arranging, and soloing. Jazz Camp is a great way to improve your skills, make new friends and have a fun time.
EARLY BIRD TUITION (through March 11th, 2025): $430*
REGULAR TUITION (through May 9th, 2025): $460*
Camp Date: TBD, 2025

Roots of Jazz
What is Roots of Jazz?
Roots of Jazz is a one-hour assembly designed to teach students about the origins of jazz music.
Musician and music educator, Frank Leto, backed by a jazz quartet and a dancer, keeps audiences wide-eyed with lively demonstrations of music from Africa, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States. The music is neatly woven into a fabric of historical narrative, highlighting the cultural blending that has made jazz such a uniquely American art form.
How do students experience Roots of Jazz?
On a first-come first-serve basis, we schedule 10 free assemblies throughout the academic year.
We have served almost every Albuquerque Public Elementary School over our history, but we encourage schools that have never hosted the presentation or haven't scheduled it in a while to give us a call.
How do I bring Roots of Jazz to my school?
