Sponsored in part by the Georgia Straight Jazz Society
Over a one-week span, CYMC will provide students with access to daily live 1.5 hour Masterclasses and 1-hour “Practice With” sessions. The Masterclass will be a topic chosen by the artist that will apply to all instruments. Students can send in 1 question ahead of time that will be addressed in the masterclass and depending on the topic may be able to participate in real-time.
Additionally, each morning a different faculty member will present a one-hour practice session that students attend. The idea is students will be muted but can hear the faculty member practice and talk through what they’re doing. Materials will be emailed to students ahead of time.
The daily schedule will rotate different combinations of players presenting a masterclass from 10-11 am and then a Masterclass from 1-2:30 pm.
There will also be a special live stream concert on Friday, July 17 at 7 pm. All times are Pacific Standard.
