Jazz Camp Unlocks Young Musicians

About this episode

Jazz camp at APC Studios features Grammy-winning pros mentoring teens in improvisation.

Jazz camp at APC Studios turns heads as Grammy-winning pros mentor teens from five counties, teaching improvisation as a liberating art form. For 15-year-old pianist Helena Bailey, it was a whole new language — until she discovered the magic of musical connection. Under Chris Colalillo’s guidance, students learn to lock in, express freely, and even perform for audiences — like Helena’s electrifying piano solo. This camp proves jazz improvisation isn’t intimidating — it’s deeply rewarding and accessible for young musicians ready to unlock their creative potential.
