The International Summer Jazz Workshop Prague (ISJWP) is a seven-day intensive course in jazz music suitable both for novices and accomplished musicians who want to improve or hone their skills; make new contacts and spend one pleasant week with jazz music. The faculty typically includes leading Czech and foreign jazz musicians who participate in the contemporary jazz scene in Europe or the USA and who are excellent teachers as well. The lessons are divided partially according to the students’ level. Instructions for individual instruments take place in groups every morning (master-classes for advanced students or standard courses for all levels). Afternoons are taken up by rehearsal in ensembles of various personnel and genres which are lead by the members of faculty and which are followed by a lecture of the day. The students get a chance to hear the teachers or other guests play every night in the Dobeška Theatre or watch jazz-related films, which are followed by students’ jam sessions. The workshop offers a high quality instructions and a range of related additional programs. It is attended every year by more than 100 students both from the Czech Republic and from abroad.
