Clinic topics in the past have included history of jazz, instrument instruction, styles of jazz, improvisation and general discussions on the state of jazz to name a few.

Clinics take place at Ecker Hill Middle School. Attend a free musical clinic on Saturday and receive a complimentary General Admission ticket to attend the Park City Jazz Festival that afternoon!
