Students ages 18-22: Unleash your musical potential at the College Jazz Institute (CJI), an electrifying, audition-only 5-day program crafted exclusively for collegiate musicians hungry to take their skills to the next level! Running July 8-12, this groundbreaking intensive bridges the gap for students who’ve previously attended the Hilton Head Jazz Camp or simply crave advanced summer training to supercharge their university-level journey. Picture yourself jamming alongside the same award-winning faculty and special guests as the HHJC, guided by the masterful Justin Varnes, a jazz titan in high demand. Dive into a tailor-made curriculum—combo mastery, cutting-edge improvisation, composing, arranging, jazz theory, and handpicked electives—all designed to arm you with the chops and know-how to dominate the music scene. From Wednesday to Saturday, you’ll be immersed in a whirlwind of inspiration, leading up to a finale performance on Sunday, July 12th at 2 PM on Hilton Head Island. Don’t miss your shot at this life-changing week of mentorship, music, and pure jazz fire—register now and claim your place among the next generation of pros!
With overnight lodging for out-of-town students at the nearby USCB campus, financial and merit-based scholarships from the Junior Jazz Foundation and a faculty / staff made up of both award-winning jazz educators and professional musicians, there's no reason not to attend the College Jazz Intensive!
