Our ensemble system has proved to be marvellously effective for hundreds of students - it's a great way of bringing focus and direction to your jazz studies!
Our tutors are expert at finding theory points, ensemble skills, development exercises, and instrumental pointers that are important for everyone in the room. But sometimes this isn't quite enough - many students want (and require) a more personalised programme - and for this reason we offer different ENSEMBLE OPTIONS, as follows:
Ensemble (Season Fee £830) 9 meetings October-June ( with Theory Preparation Zooms + written tutor report and feedback)
Ensemble+ (Season Fee £1030) As Ensemble but with 4 hours of individual lessons to address issues arising. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)
Pathway (Season Fee £2060) As well as their monthly ensemble, students also attend a Pathway Day - this is still a playing day but is based on designated transcription and artist projects - this season we are learning the great album FOR REAL! The programme includes 2 written reports and feedback Zooms, and 8 hours of individual lessons to address issues arising.
Jazz Song Ensemble (Season Fees: Instrumentalists - 9 sessions + report/feedback - £770. + report/feedback £300) This ensemble, led by Andra Sparks and guest tutors, comprises 4 sessions exploring Repertoire D with Andra singing, 4 sessions working on repertoire brought in by student singers and 1 Performance Day.
