Northwest College

The Vocal Jazz Academy returns to Northwest College on Saturday, September 14, giving students and teachers the opportunity to spend a full day learning more about the musical genre. The workshop runs from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. in the Nelson Performing Arts Auditorium on the NWC campus and ends with a concert at 5 p.m. that is free and open to the public.

Interested participants can register at vocaljazzacademy.com/reg/ by selecting the Wyoming location. Due to a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, registration costs for the first 65 teachers and students will be free, and additional registrations will be available at a discounted rate. Lunch, publisher reading packets, and mass choir music are all included in the cost.

Online preregistration will close on Monday, September 9, with walk-up registration available on September 14 beginning at 8:30 a.m. Those seeking more information on group discounts should contact Eric Hagmann, Vocal Music Instructor at Northwest College, at eric.hagmann@nwc.edu.

The workshop features jazz reading sessions, breakout sessions, and teacher round table discussions. Participants will also rehearse throughout the day as part of the Academy Mass Choir, and perform in the free concert that night, with selected solo performances by students, as well as the Northwest College Studio Singers and Sixth Street vocal jazz ensembles.
