I am so grateful for the openness and inclusion we received in participating in the Monterey Jazz Festival Summer camp. The faculty, students and all who helped were generous in sharing their knowledge, skills, and love of jazz and music. Jazz was completely new for my daughter and I really wasn’t sure how the experience would go for her, however, after day one I picked her up and she was all smiles proud that she had attempted her first solo on trombone even though she was nervous. This environment was supportive and nurturing and I am so incredibly grateful.
