The Delta Workshop, a name given by one of the founders of the program, costs students $195 each. This is no vacation! The camp included a dorm room to stay on campus, three meals a day, and classes with some of the most elite jazz musicians and educators of northeast Arkansas. The class list included jazz history, theory, improvisation, and rehearsal periods as well as opportunities to be in small groups.
The purpose of this workshop, as Dr. Kenneth Carroll told the students multiple times, was to learn and have fun. Jazz is a timeless art form that deserves to be built upon. One interesting aspect of the jazz experience is thinking about how far back jazz goes. Some musicians of this age are playing music their grandparents listened to growing up as a child. The workshop provided opportunities to listen to different styles of jazz as well as get help on their concert music from ASU students volunteering their time.
