TUITION

​   Tuition: $300 per student

AUDITIONS

Auditions will be judged first and foremost on accuracy, so please prioritize a smaller portion of well-prepared material over performing everything (quality over quantity). The Jazz Exchange will have a better sense of your skill level with more material presented through your audition. As this is a placement audition, we do not need to hear you perform everything perfectly but instead are looking to understand the best placement for your optimal learning experience. 

LUNCH / SNACKS

Students will be required to bring their own packed lunch. Snacks and water will be provided to the students throughout the week with the exception of two days when we will provide special treats to the students. More details will be sent to all registered students.
