This course is aimed at guitarists, pianists, bassists, drummer/percussionists. Prior improvisation experience is essential.

Rhythm players can ‘bolt on’ a 1-day additional course designed especially to help with all aspects of playing in a rhythm section including comping, voicings, time-feel, improvisation, interactive skills and so on. Our expert tutors will be on board and you can enjoy the same great facilities at the Jewel & Esk College including on-site accommodation, cafeteria, evening jam sessions and so on. Learning through a combination of instrument group classes and combined rhythm section workshops, the course is open to pianists, guitarists, bassists, drummer/percussionists. Whilst we anticipate that most students will opt to add this course to the main 6-day jazz school, it is also possible to attend the course separately. Tutor details published on our website.

The course runs from 10-4.30pm on the Sunday preceding the main 6-day course.
