The Zonora Jazz Workshop is an energizing immersion in small group Jazz improvisation. Our world-class artist/faculty fosters a lively dialogue, an informative exchange of ideas and a mutually supportive atmosphere for focused, intensive study.

ZJW offers a daily schedule of one-on-one tutoring, hands-on group instruction and jam sessions.

Topics may include composition, improvisation, ensemble performance, repertoire, aural-rhythmic-harmonic training, theory / arranging, practice regimen, the business of music, the artistic life and career development. Ample time is dedicated to answer participants’ individual questions.

A faculty/student concert at Tucson's Century Room on the final day caps the program.

We invite a harmonious, enthusiastic group above the age of 18. Enrollment is limited to 10 participants to allow for greater personal attention. Our intended outcome is to help each participant to become the musician they aspire to be.
