Summer Course
Monday 22nd to Saturday 27th July
We have a handful of places left for our 2024 Academy Summer Course
We currently have a broad range of students signed up, in terms of age, level and instruments.
The JAM Summer Course is open to any young people aged 7 to 18 (school year 3+) who play a musical instrument or have singing lessons. You don’t need to have taken any grade exams, but we suggest a minimum standard of Grade 1 to ensure that students are able to learn their music in time for the concerts.
The Summer Course is open to students who learn elsewhere, so if you have friends or family who might be interested please feel free to forward this to them.
Teaching Faculty yet to be announced
