Jazz camp every spring the last 5 years
The hostel has been the setting for Jazz Camp Ribe for kids every spring the last 5 years. The camp is organized by Ribe’s jazz club Jazzin’Ribe, the culture school of Esbjerg (Esbjerg Kulturskole) and “Jazz Hostel” Danhostel Ribe, Ribe’s hostel.
The hostel really comes alive with jazz
When students from schools of music from all around the Southern part of Jutland come together at Danhostel Ribe to play jazz the hostel really comes alive.
Passionate and enthusiastic musicians
The age range for participants at this year’s jazz camp ranges from 9 to 19. The youngest to have ever participated was only 8 years old. All the students are passionate and enthusiastic about their music.
Professional music instruction
Students of all levels receive mentoring and professional instruction to develop their musical skills and enhance their knowledge of music.
Jazz classes
During the weekend the kids attend classes in ensemble playing, they jam and they take part in different workshops and master classes.
Jazz vocalists
Both instrumental musicians and vocalists participate in the music camp. Some of the participants train their skills both as vocalists and musicians.
Jazz camp for both boys and girls
In general the jazz genre is dominated by men, but at JazzCamp Ribe, the girls represent almost half of the participants. The girls play all kinds of different instruments as well as sing –just like the boys.
Hand-picked jazz teachers
All the teachers are handpicked by Jazzin’Ribe to ensure qualified, talented and experienced teachers and the highest level of education for the students.
Top jazz artists and teachers
Every year the students study with some of the top jazz artists and teachers in Denmark during the day, and see some of them perform at night at public concerts in Ribe.
Meeting old friends and making new friends
On top of the music, the camp is also about meeting old friends and making new ones, having fun, and playing in our sports hall, Ribehallen
Planning next year’s camp?
Maybe they are planning next year’s camp, composing new music – or maybe they are just having fun.
Delicious hostel food
Last but not least, the camp is also eating and enjoying the delicious hostel food.
Rising jazz stars
On the third day of the jazz camp all the students will show to the public how the new rising stars of jazz play at a concert at SeminarieHuset in Ribe.
Looking forward to Jazz Camp Ribe 2017
After 3 days the kids leave the camp with jazz dancing through their heads, already looking forward to seeing each other again at next year’s Jazz Camp.
The hostel host is a jazz lover
It’s no secret that Danhostel Ribe‘s host, Jens, loves Jazz. Jazz Camp Ribe was his idea from the very beginning. He is already looking forward to next year’s camp – and to the jazz camp for adults at the hostel this autumn.
