Praise:

"The first year of Swing Time Jazz Camp was an unqualified success. My students loved the camp and the staff and came back to my program even more pumped about vocal jazz because of their summertime musical experience. This camp is giving the kids an extra shot of all aspects of jazz singing: swing concepts, style, group singing, soloing, improv, mic technique and so much more. The staff is young, energetic and inspiring, and they know their stuff."
Mike Angel, Music Director, Walnut Grove Senior Secondary

"I was present at the first annual Swing Time Vocal Jazz camp that took place in 2005. IT was an amazing experience that I would recommend to any singer interested in pursuing the world of jazz. Bekah and Debbie were great at working with all levels of kids and open to anybody willing to try. Their encouragement rubbed off on everybody and by the second day I was comepletely comfortable singing in that room in front of my fellow singers. The camp was a great environement for both learning and excelling in the wonderful world of jazz."
