Trinity Laban, Tomorrow's Warriors & Lewisham Music
The Jazz Hang with Tomorrow's Warriors
Wednesdays, Nov 2024 - June 2025 (term time)
Event details
The London Jazz Scene is on fire, with artists and Trinity Laban alumni like Mercury Prize-winners Ezra Collective, Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd tearing it up at festivals and on TV, and performing around the world. The Jazz Hang – delivered in partnership with Tomorrow’s Warriors and Lewisham Music – is aimed at young musicians aged 10-16 who are at an early stage in their engagement with Jazz and want to learn more about it, but don’t know where to start.
The Jazz Hang is a series of regular sessions of informal and practical jazz learning. We are now looking for young musicians for the 2024/25 programme, taking place largely at Lewisham Music’s base in Bellingham, SE6. You will get to meet other young musicians and have opportunities to develop new skills, have access to masterclasses led by guest tutors, participate in jams and perform in concerts alongside Trinity Laban and Tomorrow’s Warriors musicians.
What do you need to participate?
• A passion for music and an interest in jazz – no prior knowledge needed
• To know where the notes are on your instrument
• For woodwinds/brass – to be able to produce a clear tone
• To understand basic time signatures (e.g. 3/4 or 4/4)
• To have a basic understanding of major and minor scales
• Basic note-reading skills are useful but not essential
• A commitment and willingness to learn
Trinity Laban has been working with Tomorrow’s Warriors since 2020 to deliver The Jazz Hang, joined recently by Lewisham Music, thanks to the support of London Music Fund.
