THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR MATURE STUDENTS ONLY
It is NOT a typical summer camp where kids come to just goof off and "maybe" play a little jazz. We do take seriously the safety and comfort of all participants, but we are NOT set up to supervise younger participants like some other music camps with which you may have experience. We DO have several staff members we consider "dorm parents", so if your child does have a problem, they will be instructed to go to them or other staff and faculty members. Please note: there are LOTS of adults around to help out in a crisis. We have more than 60 adult faculty PLUS 15 more staff, BUT ... in general, students must be TOTALLY responsible for themselves, so things like ...

• Staying up all night making noise or otherwise disturbing others
• Sleeping in
• Skipping classes
• Inappropriate behavior with persons of the opposite sex
• Wandering from campus

...will NOT be tolerated.

We are neither able nor interested in "babysitting" young people who are not yet ready to handle the genuine responsibility of being on their own.

PLEASE: If you don't know that your child is ready, please DO NOT SIGN THEM UP.

If it is brought to our attention that your child or ward is not able to behave in a respectful, responsible, and courteous manner, or that they are not attending classes or rehearsals, we will call you and send them home immediately without refund or hesitation. We reserve the right in all cases to serve as "judge and jury" concerning inappropriate conduct by minors, and we accept absolutely no responsibility for any behaviors in which they may engage that is destructive or endangers themselves or others.

We have sent people home from our workshops before. Please understand our policies BEFORE you register.

It is required that all parents of minors (participants 17 years of age and under) accept the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop Code of Conduct Participation Agreement. This agreement must be signed by both the minor and legal guardian. Your signatures ensure us that everyone understands fully what is expected.

REQUIRED: Code of Conduct Participation Agreement

Phone Calls - If you want to speak to your student while they are at the Workshops (perhaps to know for sure that they made it okay, etc.), then have them call you. No incoming calls will be accepted. If there is a critical emergency at home, please call the appropriate numbers and we will, as soon as possible, pass the message on to your child to call home. **This is where it is critical that your child attend ALL classes and concerts. If there is an emergency at home, we will know where to locate them quickly.

Dorm Assignments - Unless we receive a specific dorm roommate request from you in writing before June 1st, we will pair your child with a roommate. Dorm room assignments will be based first on sex, then age, and then the instrument. So, a 17-year-old sax player will most likely be rooming with another 17-year-old who will, when possible, be a sax player.

Absolutely NO DRUGS or ALCOHOL will be allowed at the Workshops or on campus. Any person breaking this rule will be immediately DISMISSED WITHOUT REFUND. All University and city laws will be enforced. All dorms, buildings, and classrooms are NON-SMOKING. Smoking by ADULTS is allowed in the designated smoking area behind the Music Building by the loading dock. Please do NOT smoke on the front steps of the Music Building. If you are smoker and would like to quit, please request the "QUIT EASY" book, a proven aid to smoking cessation and FREE OF CHARGE!
