The Joy of Jazz – Free Music Workshop
UPDATE: We have opened up this one day free workshop to intermediate musicians of all ages (from 15 up) rather than just young people.
An exciting new jazz themed music project led by Jazz veteran Rob Mills and award winning newcomer Amy Jerman, based around repertoire, improvisation and performance. This is a FREE one day workshop event for musicians aged from 15 up, with a (free) showcase performance in the early evening. Please book a place through the ‘Participate’ ticket below, or email info@sandyhillarts.co.uk to apply, stating what instrument, level of experience and age. Rob will get back to you by email closer to the workshop with more details.
