Saxophone Workshop Ensemble Rehearsal

Saxophone Workshop

The 22nd Annual Stetson University Saxophone Workshop focuses on the fundamental principles of saxophone performance and emphasizes playing techniques and performance practices. Students participate in chamber groups, masterclasses, jazz classes and more. All participants audition and play in a saxophone band and in a chamber ensemble beginning on the first day of the workshop. Eligible students may receive a private lesson from one of the faculty and are eligible to audition to perform a solo during the young artists' concert. All students perform during Friday evening's chamber music concert. The final concert on Saturday morning includes performances of the two saxophone bands.

The Saxophone Workshop is open to saxophonists entering grades 7 through 12.

Participants will be housed in the Stetson University residence halls, eat in the student cafeteria, and have access to all campus recreational facilities. Counselors will stay in the residence halls with the participants, who will be supervised at all times.

On Campus tuition: $650 | June 22-27, 2026
