Frequently Asked Questions

What is the age requirement?
Students must be 12 – 16 years old.

When are the classes held?
In total NYJW presents three weeks for the Summer 2022:
– July 11 – 15
– July 18 – 22
– August 1 – 5

When is the deadline?
Registration is on a first come, first served basis and level assessment (mp3 or video sample). Class sizes are limited to 10 students. It is a small program focused on individual attention and high quality. We encourage applicants to apply as early as possible, as most classes will fill up.

What about the instrumentation in the workshop?
We accept instrumentalists and vocalists. For the rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass and drums) and vocalists, two chairs are made available which allows us to separate the 10 students into two bands. There are six positions available for the woodwind and brass students. Different conglomerations are possible but will not exceed a total of 10 students. If the group is missing a bass player or drummer, a faculty member will fill in the spot.

How do I sign up and what about payment:
To register your child, simply fill in our online form. The registration is non-committal and does not guarantee a position. We will first make sure a position is available on your requested date upon which we request a playing sample, either in a mp3 or video format. This does not need to be a high quality production, a small clip recorded with a phone or small recording device will be sufficient.

Payment can be made by credit card. The placement of the student is guaranteed with the payment. Down-payments are accepted at any time and full payments are due two weeks before the start of the workshop.

What if I only studied classical music? Classical music is a great foundation for learning jazz. Your classical background will help you create melodic ideas for improvisation and hone your jazz technique.

What experience do I need to have to participate in the workshop?
Students should have 2-3 years of experience with their instrument, as well as some knowledge of scales, arpeggios, chords and notation. Students will be placed based on level and proficiency, and there will be a maximum of 10 students in each class (5 in-person, 5 online).

What do I need to bring?
All you need is your lunch, instrument, sheet music and a pencil. We have drum kits, piano’s and amplifiers on site. If you need an instrument, let us know and we will provide some options.
For more information, fill out the registration form or email us. You can also call Andrew Schiller at (646) 321-1574 or Eli Hershiser at (402) 290-1903.
