You’ll also be placed into a small group of similarly-skilled students, in which you will be coached by a professional jazz musician. The Rocky Top Jazz Summit is your opportunity to meet new people who share your love for jazz, interact with and learn from the expert musicians and educators who make up the University of Tennessee jazz faculty, and grow your musical skills in a fun, welcoming, and nurturing environment.The Rocky Top Jazz Summit is a special workshop that is open to all high-school students through nomination by their band director, lessons instructor, or jazz band leader.
