New Jazz Workshop is a series of sessions for young musicians aged between 8 and 18 at The Claremont Centre in Manchester. The course runs each Saturday from 11am until 2pm and although this course is now part-way through, newcomers are welcomed at the remaining sessions. The course is led by Helena Summerfield and Kathy Dyson and focuses on learning by ear, group transcription, improvisation and instrumental technique. The course will conclude with a performance at the final session on February 7th. Full information on New Jazz Workshop.
