JAZZ COURSE UK HITS 1000!!
Jazz Course UK has now filled well over 1000 places since it’s
inception in 1994 – around 1200 places to be more precise – a fact that
cements our reputation as one of the foremost organisations working in
Jazz education today.
Jazz Course UK courses are primarily about learning improvisation techniques.
Whether you’re an instrumentalist or vocalist, all of our courses centre on
ensembles so that students get to play and interact with each other.
Jazz Course UK tutors are well established performers who have a natural
ability to teach, facilitate and inspire.
With a high proportion of returning students who give us consistently positive
feedback, we are teaching students from right across the UK and foreign students
from Europe, USA, China and Japan. Our students come from diverse musical
backgrounds from novice improvisers through to professional musicians.
JAZZ PIANO COURSE NEW!
A brand new JAZZ PIANO course led by Tim Richards, author of the acclaimed
books IMPROVISING BLUES PIANO and EXPLORING JAZZ PIANO (Schott)
This 2-day course is designed to give the student practical experience in the fundamental techniques of
Jazz piano such as rootless chord voicings, bass lines, improvisation techniques
over 12-bar blues and simple jazz standards, left hand comping styles, and experience
in playing with bass and drums.
JAZZ WEEKENDERS
JAZZ WEEKENDERS are a great way to develop your skills. Each course focuses
on a particular stylistic area of jazz and are designed to provide students
with a progressive learning experience over the best part of a year. Courses are
set at differing levels depending on the style and material. Working in groups
the courses are perfect for developing stylistic awareness, improvisation skills,
and group playing.
RHYTHM SECTION VOLUNTEERS
To achieve balanced instrumentation in the ensembles we sometimes need to top up on bassists/drummers. If you are either a semi-pro jazz musician or a jazz music student interested in playing on a course please apply by sending us your current musical CV. On residential courses accommodation may be provided.
We hope to see you on one of the summer
courses and please feel free to get in touch with us any
time!
