July Jazz Big Band Workshop
We are offering an exciting three day school holiday workshop where year 6, 7 and 8 students will learn to play in a Jazz Big Band and then perform a concert for family and friends on the final afternoon. The Big Band is for Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and Clarinet players plus Electric Guitar, Piano, Bass and Drums.
The music we play will range from jazz standards to modern pop classics, with an emphasis on having fun while producing music at a high standard. This workshop will be run by Drew Hutchinson.
Students must be playing at grade 2 level or higher, or have had two years of lessons. The workshop is on October the 9th, 10th and 11th from 9am - 3pm at Parnell District School, 48 St Stephens Ave, Parnell. The cost of the three day workshop is $270.00
“I cannot tell how much we enjoyed your workshop on so many levels; watching our son's confidence grow, making new friends, the location was fabulous and very convenient for us and of course the music was fantastic !
My husband and I were thrilled when we came to the concert as it was so enjoyable”.

“Best school holiday music workshop around. The mini concert on the last day was definitely a bonus. So impressed with Drew on leading the group to achieve such an amazing performance in such a short amount of time.
Our boy had so much fun playing jazz music while making new musician friends!”
