Music filled the University of Texas at Tyler campus this week as the school hosted its 9th Annual Jazz Camp, a beloved summer tradition that brings young musicians together to sharpen their skills and celebrate the art of jazz.
The camp, reported on by both KETK and CBS19, marks another milestone in UT Tyler’s long-running commitment to music education in East Texas. Now in its ninth year, the Jazz Camp has become a highlight of the summer calendar for student musicians in the region.
Events like the Jazz Camp reflect UT Tyler’s ongoing role as a cultural and educational hub for the Tyler community, offering young people a chance to learn from experienced musicians in a university setting. Whether students are refining their technique or discovering jazz for the first time, the camp provides an inspiring environment to grow as performers.
The annual gathering is a testament to the university’s dedication to the arts and to nurturing the next generation of East Texas musicians — and with nine years under its belt, it shows no signs of slowing down.
