Students 19 and under with at least one year of experience on an instrument, are eligible. Registrations will be accepted for the following instruments: trumpet, saxophone, trombone, piano, bass, guitar, drumset, vibraphone, clarinet, flute, or voice.
The Jazz Workshops are held at the Victoria University of Wellington Kelburn Campus. Updates are available on the New Zealand Jazz Workshops Facebook page. Please join that page for updates and to connect with other Workshops participants.
