Jazz syllabus
The jazz syllabus is for musicians from all backgrounds and is founded on the belief that jazz is for everyone. In developing it, we have sought to be true to the free spirit of jazz.
Through a structured and progressive framework which encourages disciplined study of the rich variety of jazz tradition, all players will have the opportunity to express themselves and gain the freedom, confidence and understanding to develop their own personal direction in jazz performance.
Jazz Performance Assessment
For those seeking an evaluation of their playing but who do not wish to gain a qualification, we offer Jazz Performance Assessment, designed specifically for adults who would like a focus for their work and a constructive and confidential report on their playing from a musician with broad jazz experience.
Teachers who are approaching jazz for the first time may find this opportunity particularly helpful as part of their professional development. It is also suitable for candidates of any age whose special educational needs mean that an exam would not be an appropriate option for them.
