Jazz Workshop in July at GPW First English Lutheran for every level, every age, every instrument

5th ann. Metro-Detroit Jazz Workshop takes place in mid-July at GPW First English Lutheran Church. It is for every age, experience level, and instrument.

If you are either an amateur musician, or have a motivated high or middle school student, consider going/sending them to the 5th annual Metro-Detroit Jazz Workshop.

At First English Lutheran Church, students spend an entire week in July studying with a first-class faculty, learning jazz theory, composition, improvisation, and take part in master-classes. Multiple classes and combos assist every level of musician.

Students also play in combos of like-experienced students coached by faculty. We play a concert for family and friends at Cliff Bells Jazz Club on Sunday after workshop. All instruments incuding singers are welcomed, jazz or classical. Talent scholarships available.
