Jazz embodies the practice and spirit of creativity, collaboration and innovation. It has been around for more than a hundred years yet its value to music education generally only attracts acknowledgment rather than deep investigation, let alone use.

A ‘jazz mind’ offers useful strategies for everyone, not just an exclusive band of specialists.

Through discussing the how, what and why of musical learning, we hope to challenge and deepen your thinking and get your classrooms grooving with confidence and skill.
