Learn to find your voice as an improviser in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere and work collaboratively on pieces you have devised. 

For young instrumentalists and singers aged 8-18. Learn and improve improvisation techniques; play music by ear; develop aural and creative skills; learn about how jazz music ‘works’; play in small groups and learn with players of a similar standard and age. This structured and hands on programme will have something for everyone.
