Jump Start Jazz - Masterclasses

Malmesbury Live Arts

Three Cups Inn

You may remember Andy Nowak who gave an outstanding performance last season with his wonderful instrumental jazz trio. This season we’ll be seeing quite a lot of Andy as he is our artist in residence and will be delivering a series of six masterclasses as well as three Jam Sessions.Jump Start Jazz is a course aimed at the aspiring musician who wishes to learn how to improvise over jazz standards and related music. For those that are just starting their journey or are already on their way, JSJ will give you the tools you’ll need in a fun, safe and engaging space to tackle the music you love. Come along to this free discovery evening to meet Andy and find out what’s involved in each of these fantastic series. This is a non committal event for you to enquire and hopefully maybe sign up. Running from January to June the monthly three-hour jazz class is suitable if you have a basic level of playing an instrument or singing and would like to unravel the secrets of jazz and improvisation. Learn to play some standards inside out so you can gain confidence in playing jazz. Learn about improv techniques that you can utilise in any musical idiom and unite with other like-minded musicians in this special series. Who knows maybe even a new Malmesbury band may evolve. Suitable for those grade 4 standard and above.From age 15 up.“Jumpstart jazz is a fantastic programme, I started as a complete beginner to jazz and by the time the course had finished I felt well versed in the fundamentals of playing through standards, Andy leaves no stone unturned.“ - Tristan, Bristol.“Before the course I couldn’t get started with improvisation but now I feel much more confident.” - Stuart, Bristol.“I would highly recommend Andy’s approach to teaching jazz improvisation. I now have a much greater understanding of how to approach a song and tools to express the changes.” - Scott, Bath.
