 The 7th Annual Parker Summer Jazz Workshop, in partnership with Jazz 88.3 and San Diego’s House of Blues®, offers middle and high school students an opportunity to study and play music with professional jazz musicians while learning performance skills, improvisation, jazz theory and history. One-week sessions are held at Francis Parker School's Thiemann Music Center, a state-of-the-art facility with dedicated classrooms and practice studios. Here, students grow musically as they learn to express themselves through the art of jazz improvisation. Students give a closing performance at the House of Blues®, one of San Diego's premier concert venues. We welcome beginning, intermediate and advanced students at this hands-on workshop designed to nurture their growth as musicians, technically and creatively. The workshop is officially in full-swing! For questions, please contact Nate Jarrell, Program Director for the 2017 Summer Jazz Workshop, or the Francis Parker School Summer Program office on (858) 569-7900, ext. 4236.

| Our Spring Membership Campaign has concluded. Thank you SO Much! If you have a "thank you gift" coming to you we ask that you please be patient as we are in the process of tabulating all the items and getting them ready for shipping. The good news is that we received so many new pledges ...the bad news, is it will take longer to fulfill the pledge requests with our available resources (about 4-6 weeks). Thank you for your understanding. |
