About us
Who we are
The National Youth Jazz Collective is a young and vibrant National Youth Music Organisation specialising in small group jazz improvisation. Our mission is to support the creative and educational needs of the nation's young jazz musicians through a coherent and inspirational pathway of streamed study, from first access to young professionals, progressing from the Collective's national network of regional jazz hubs through to the highly competitive annual National Youth Jazz Summer School and annual programme of high profile professional level performances, all supported by bespoke programmes of Continuing Professional Development designed to support the needs of the young jazz musicians' teachers and music leaders.
