Welcome to The Jazz Workshop

The Jazz Workshop is a jazz education programme based in Sussex. Our goal is to pair a positive, group learning environment with a methodical and accessible approach to learning jazz music.

Arabella's workshop is a lot of fun and a great way to learn jazz. We get lots of practical advice and then put it into practice. Perfect!

Being in the Jazz workshop has been fantastic. Arabella facilitates the group really well. As a drummer I was worried that I wouldn’t benefit from being in the group, but it’s been great for my playing. Great tunes. Great players. New jazzy friends. What more could I ask for. Under The Bridge is a lovely friendly space too.

This is my third term learning jazz with Arabella. Learning to play jazz in a small group with a teacher has been brilliant. Arabella is an extremely experienced teacher who is both patient and encouraging. It's also been fun to meet and play with other instrumentalists.

Arabella is a phenomenally talented saxophonist and this translates over into her teaching. She broke down so many of the basic principles of improvisation (practice your arpeggios!) so much more clearly than any other jazz workshop I'd ever attended before. Fully recommend!
