Why it matters

Jazz is learned by playing with others: it demands listening, improvising and taking turns. That makes it a good school for living together. Formal options for studying jazz in Guatemala are limited, and an intensive camp lets young musicians work for several days in a row with teachers they would not otherwise meet.
