TESTEMONIALS
“It was my first time in Copenhagen and it could not be better! The Jazz Camp provides the perfect conditions to know more about yourself as a musician and experiment in a way that normally you don´t! Beyond the quality of the school and the course, it was an amazing experience having contact with so many good musicians from all parts of Europe that are thinking and making music as I am. I also can´t forget the good vibe from teachers and people at the Conservatory that helped a lot the jazz energy!!”
Emiliano Sampaio (Brazil)

“I had a wonderful time at the camp. For a first try, this camp was an especially great success. The schedule was well balanced between composition, rehearsal and performance, and the presence of counselors and teachers was always valuable. The teachers always had great quality and depth to their comments and instruction, and it was always much appreciated." 
Philippe Maniez (France)

“I felt very welcomed and supported by all teachers. It was a very intensive work week, where I could concentrate on composing only - this is very special as normally you have to do lots of everyday-stuff and cannot only concentrate on writing music. I learned a lot about music, working in groups and evaluation - it was always okay to state one's opinion which I found very refreshing. Thank you for the camp!" 
Swantje Rietz (Germany)

 
“I had the pleasure of being one of the instructors at the Jazz composition camp in July 2014. I experienced the camp as very successful, with a generous exchange of ideas and musical creativity. A very well organized and inspiring experience for both for students and faculty that I can recommend warmly.” 
Jon Balke (Norway)
