Jazz School UK runs regular specialist courses for drummers. We have been very pleased to have Trevor Tomkins as a guest tutor in the past. He will return! This season, we have been delighted to present the amazing jazz skills of Clark Tracey.
Jazz Workshops are a great opportunity to put all your hard work into practice in a small ensemble.

These short courses are useful preparation for the longer Summer and Easter courses that you may be considering!
