“Loved it! The whole experience has been stretching yet hugely enjoyable. Deeply satisfying and life-affirming.”

“loved North London Jazz with Rory and Richard, the workshops helped me feel a lot more confident in my jazz improvisation skills. My ability to read chord changes really improved throughout the term and by the end I felt really great playing alongside and learning from my fellow musicians.”

“Life Affirming / Comfort Zone Expanding!”
- Student, trumpet (Simon, South London)
“Thank you Rory and Richard so much for the past few weeks. I’m a beginner on trumpet but I feel like I’ve come on leaps and bounds across the course due to the challenges set. Each week I felt terrified, then exhilarated, then proud for pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I’ve learnt so much and really enjoyed myself while doing so, would definitely do another course and recommend to any players no matter what their stage of playing as you made it accessible for all.”
- Student, trumpet (Hollie, East london)
