About JazzWorkshops

JazzWorkshops organised jazz workshops in Bergen NH for beginners and semi-advanced players, under the musical direction of saxophonist Martin Klein. The organiser says they no longer organise workshops, but is happy to think things through and share arrangements.

Workshops

The workshops were for beginners and semi-advanced players. The group rehearsed weekly on an evening to be agreed; they worked on jazz and Latin arrangements and improvisation.

Taking part

A reasonable level of proficiency on your instrument is preferred for the beginners’ workshop. The more advanced group requires some knowledge of scales and reasonable sight-reading ability; there is no place for singers.
