Our progress on Jazz Video Lessons in 2025
Jazz Camps We Participated In 🏕️🎷🌞
This year, we also took jazz education beyond the screen and into live workshops! In July, Alex Terrier is the pedagogic director of Jazz Up, a 10-day workshop during the Jazz à Vienne Festival, offering participants hands-on instruction and group improvisation sessions. 🎶🌞🎤
Register for the 2025 edition!
This August we hosted the 2nd edition of the Jazz In Saint Cannat camp, where students immersed themselves in intensive jazz training, jam sessions, and a day in a professional recording studio! 🎼🌅🎺
These events were incredible opportunities to connect with students in person, share insights, and celebrate jazz together. We’re looking forward to more live events in 2026! 🚀🌟🎹
Looking Ahead to 2026 🕒🚀📊
We’re already planning exciting lessons, tools, and courses for next year! Expect more jazz standards, advanced improvisation techniques, and themed events to keep your skills sharp and your creativity flowing. 🌟👍📚
