The Community Bulletin Board just received the following notice from King’s Place about two eduction programmes they will launch shortly.
We thought it would be a good idea to publicise this to the local community to ensure maximum benefit to secure an early place for anyone interested.
Dear Colleagues
Kings Place is launching two exciting jazz music education programmes with the National Youth Jazz Collective. Places on these programmes will be advertised to the public in two weeks. Places are limited, so early booking is essential.
The National Youth Jazz Collective (NYJC) is a new and vibrant national youth music organisation, funded by Youth Music and presided over by David Holland. The NYJC is designed to support the creative and educational needs of the young jazz musician through regional projects and an annual National Youth Jazz Summer School.
