How to Prepare
For All Program Participants
You’ll get the most out of your experience at SJW if you practice every day, year-round. At a minimum, spend time playing your instrument or singing each day, starting four to six weeks before camp. Specifically, you can prepare for SJW by spending time with these great online play-along resources by the SJW faculty!
Warm up and refresh your knowledge of scales and arpeggios
Warm up with what you know! Practice scales, arpeggios, or rhythm patterns and apply them to improvisation by playing along with these SJW faculty members! Sheet music included for download in the description sections.
