NYJO Under 18s: Summer Coventry Collective

For young people aged 13 – 18 who are Grades 3 and above on their instrument (including vocalists) and are interested in exploring jazz, ensemble playing, and improvisation.

Across the 2 days, you will be getting stuck into jazz legend Theolonious Monk’s ‘Misterioso’, using this as a focus to develop your skills in the fundamentals of music-making; rhythm, improvisation, harmony, groove, and syncopation.

NYJO Resident MD Winston Clifford will be there to support you to learn more about moving your body in time, how to count, and the importance of using your ears (to be able to listen to yourself AND everyone else, simultaneously).

Fees to take part in the project are:
1. Free if you are in receipt of Pupil Premium/Free School Meals/from a low-income family in receipt of any form of benefit.
3. £30 for all other young people.

Please don’t let the cost be a barrier to you coming – we will do our best to reduce the cost for anyone who needs it so please just get in touch.

To take part in this project, please fill in the registration form by no later than the end of the day on Sunday 19 July.

If you have any questions relating to the project, feel free to drop us a message at [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

“Since joining NYJO, I’m so much more confident as a performer. Especially in terms of being able to entertain and keep the crowd engaged with you. It’s really nice to be able to feel that difference.”

Sam Eastmond (MD quote)

"Giving them space to create whatever they wanted, without setting parameters of idiom or style helped them to conceptualise how they could bring these new concepts into their work without scaring them off, or mystifying the process."

Jazzwise quote

"NYJO has never been conformist, never hewing to one particular line, never known for fawning replications and very deliberately these days a vehicle for new possibilities."

Anna (Learning national quote)

"[The NYJO residential in Cumbria] helped me to make friends with other young musicians. I enjoy playing a lot more and I’m quite proud of what I’ve accomplished. I feel more confident now. I have learnt different ways of coming up with solid melodies and also a little bit on harmonies. I think it’s been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had."

Oscar (Learning U18s quote)

"I think I’ve progressed a lot in my piano-playing. NYJO has helped me to flourish and really enjoy it. I’ve really enjoyed being engrossed in a high level of playing and learning things in a hands-on-way. I also like the diversity of perspectives and abilities of all the players and teachers which enables me to try things I might not normally."
