Summer Courses 2010
Residential Courses at Roehampton University, London SW15
COURSE DETAILS 2010
MEhr Clef Summer Jazz Courses are residential courses held at Digby Stuart College, Roehampton University, London. They are ideally suited for the middle range player, from improver through intermediate to advanced. Jazz beginners too are welcome, though a good basic command of the instrument is necessary. Some knowledge of jazz and improvisation would be an advantage, but is not essential. These courses are not suitable for instrumental or vocal beginners. Vocalists from improvers to fairly advanced are welcome.
The courses are led by some of the most respected and accomplished tutors in the UK who, between them, have many years experience both as teachers and musicians of international repute and have trained some of the finest Jazz professionals on the British Jazz scene today,
Both courses offer intensive learning in an environment with like-minded people. Musicians have the opportunity to form their own bands for nightly public performances.
