Welcome to the SJW YouTube channel! During the summer, SJW hosts young jazz students from all over the world at our Jazz Camp programs. We also have a week for younger jazz musicians: The Giant Steps Day Camp serves up to 100 middle school students. Adult jazz musicians also come from all corners of the globe to participate in the jazz Institute, at which they study and play with some of the world's greatest jazz artists. All of our summer programs are integrated with what is probably our best-known program, the Stanford Jazz Festival.
SJW also offers year-round after-school big band programs for middle school students and high school students in the San Francisco Bay Area. This channel will show you a little bit about what we do here at SJW, and we'll also talk about improvisation, jazz education, music education, and how to become a better musician. Please subscribe!
