Do you love jazz and want to improve your improvisation, performance and ensemble skills?

Come along to Wiltshire Jazz Academy – casual monthly sessions led by jazz tutor Mike Daniels, NYJO Ambassador Rod Oughton and our own alumni members. We welcome musicians aged 12-18 who are playing confidently (approximately Grade 4 or equivalent). You do not need to have experience in performing jazz music to join and the sessions are open to all instrumentalists.

The ensemble was created in partnership with NYJO as a Regional Academy to provide more opportunity in the South West for young people to access high quality jazz tuition. It provides a perfect progression route to joining Wiltshire Youth Jazz Orchestra, and is a valuable opportunity for jazz musicians at all stages of their development.
