NYJC Free Taster Workshops 2026

  • NYJC Free Taster Workshop Sign-Up Form

  • ALL instruments and singers are welcome. No instrument grades are required - but a basic ability (similar to grade 2-3) at entry level is recommended.

    Everyone except pianists are expected to bring their own instrument. Drummers should bring their own cymbals/breakables. Please bring an amp if you play electric bass or guitar as we won't have any available on site. 

     

    Once you've filled in this sign-up form, you'll receive an email a week in advance of the workshop with further information.

     

    Please note that this application form is for joining a free taster workshop and is not an application to audition for NYJC's summer programme. If you'd like to apply for an audition please complete the seperate form linked on our auditions page: https://nationalyouthjazz.co.uk/audition-2026/

  • NYJC'S core funders (including ACE, DfE & Leverhulme) all ask us for data to show the impact of their investment so it would be really helpful if you could provide us with the following requested data - much of which uses categories as specified by our funders reporting templates - so we can report back to our artistic management, board and core funders at the end of each financial year.
