This workshop is not just about jazz. Students and musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments for a dynamic learning and creative experience.

This is the ultimate opportunity for musicians to hear first-hand all about being in a band, performance techniques, playing techniques, and topics relevant to the audience, as James tailors his workshop to cater for those attending.
