Ronnie Scott's will next week launch a Jazz Youth programme which offers a range of workshops and courses for aspiring jazz talent. The Jazz Youth programme will be launched at the famous London jazz club on 16 Sep at 6pm.
The courses will be aimed at 11-16 year olds, and a spokesman for the scheme told CMU: "By letting these students learn at an early age, the Jazz Youth courses will allow them to explore the world of jazz music and expand upon their knowledge and ability in an environment that encourages, challenges and inspires them to keep striving for greater things. Jazz Youth aims to nurture a new generation of jazz artists, building both their personal and musical confidence and setting them on the path for future greatness".
Among the musicians who will be providing coaching are leading trombonist, singer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Mwenso, Ronnie Scott's Musical Director and pianist James Pearson, and Jay Phelps, who has already established himself as one of the foremost young trumpeters currently playing today.
