Jazz Camp for Girls is a 3-day summer camp which provides the opportunity for young female identifying musicians to experience jazz music and explore improvisation in a supportive environment. The camps are designed for musicians aged 11-15 with no or little experience of improvising, and aim to inspire them through a range of activities celebrating the work of women in the Jazz industry.
LOCATION: St Patrick’s campus, DCU, Dublin 9
DATES: Tue 2nd - Thu 4th July 2024
TIMES: 10am-4pm daily
TUTORS: Jenna Harris, Lina Andonovska, Emily O’Rourke and Linda Adams
COST: €30 for the 3 day camp. Scholarships available, please contact [email protected] to enquire.
Participants can come with no or little experience of improvising, just a curiosity to learn. A background in any music genre and all instruments are welcome.
Professional female musicians and educators working in jazz lead the girls as mentors and tutors over the 3 day camps, sharing their own experience as performers, while guiding the participants to explore their own interests and ability as musicians.
The Jazz Camp for Girls 2024 programme is made possible through the continued engagement of DCU Jazz and Contemporary Music Performance Degree, the support of Fingal Arts Office, and the new Improvising Across Boundaries 4-year research project which is funded by Science Foundation Ireland-Irish Research Council in association with UCD School of Music.
