Grooveworks is the ground-breaking brainchild of British multi-instrumentalist/composer/educator Greg Lyons and is continued by his Grooveworks mentees.

Open to beginners in jazz and pro-level players working on modern musical structures, this course allows all musicians to develop their instrumental/vocal/musical concepts and delivery.

The music, moment, and interaction with the rest of the band, will be your forum for development under the guidance of one of our stellar Grooveworks mentors.

The Grooveworks Festival — a showcase of the works of each band during the term - is not to be missed.

Upon registration, you’ll be asked to indicate your schedule availability and musical profile to facilitate matching you to the right ensemble.

You’ll learn with your band for 2.5 hours each week, building a unique repertoire in the individual and collective growth process to become a cohesive performing unit for the final performance.

Beginner levels focus on assimilating the core rhythmic language and standard jazz repertoire, for developing coherent interaction skills.
