Interplay Jazz CampTwelve years ago Fred Haas, a close friend and accomplished jazz musician and myself decided to offer musicians an unique opportunity to move beyond self imposed limitations created by fear, self-doubt, and jealousy while be inspired by the best musicans we knew.
Over the past years we have been fortunate to attract conscious, aware and accomplished musicians to assist us in a curriculum that promotes healthy and productive relationships between musicians and their music. This summer we will be celebrating our twelfth year by expanding Interplay Jazz to include new faculty members and enjoying the beautiful town of Woodstock, Vermont. Interplay Jazz's mission and vision is to provide a supportive environment for students of all ages to listen (and hear), to learn (and experience), and to create (and express themselves) while improving their communication and relationship skills. Unique to Interplay Jazz is the integration of the science of yoga and meditation with world-class instruction in the art of improvised music (primarily jazz) in a supportive learning environment. Skills and concepts learned through the study of yoga and meditation encourage students to relax, concentrate, and access more of their creative potential in practice and performance. Students range in age from twelve to over seventy and intergenerational musical interaction is fostered throughout the week with the initial goal of playing music together in a more deeply engaged way. The longer-range vision is supporting and encouraging deeper communication on all levels between human beings of all ages, races, and belief systems. Students and faculty alike experience the Oneness of mind (where the melodies, chords, scales, rhythms, compositions, etc. are stored), body (the physical conduit for the expression of music, and connection the to the instrument) and spirit (the source of creativity). When this sense of Oneness is established in the creative musical realm, it quite naturally begins to encompass the whole being. We have seen life changing results in students and faculty alike as this positive and holistic approach to living is adopted as a way of life.
