Chetham’s Summer School is thrilled to announce a new Jazz and Improvisation strand to its celebrated Summer School in 2025.
Led by Dominic Ingham and other guest tutors, the course will focus on small group improvisation, jam sessions and musical exploration. We welcome applications from rhythm section players and front-line solo instruments who have an interest in jazz and improvisation.
Participants will also join in with group activities to the rest of the course, including singing and musicianship, and perform in one our venues at the end of the week.
‘Studying Jazz at Chetham’s allows us to enhance our creative abilities, and become greater musicians. At school we have had amazing opportunities to perform to/with great jazz musicians such as Trumpet virtuoso Allen Vizzutti and ex-Chetham’s student Gwilym Simcock.’ – Chetham’s School of Music jazz student
