Edinburgh Napier University Summer School
Edinburgh Napier University Jazz Summer School takes place from 14 - 18 July 2025, and promises a cross-generational, intensive immersion into the practical aspects of playing jazz, delivered by some of Scotland’s leading jazz musicians.
With a focus on ensemble playing, students have a unique opportunity to discover the joy of making music with others whilst developing their own listening, improvising and playing skills in a supportive and inspiring environment.
As part of the experience, you will be given complimentary access to selected Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival concerts during the week and round the week off with a concert as part of the festival programme on Friday 18 July.
The summer school is open to all musicians over the age of 14 who are approximately Grade 5 and above (previous experience of playing jazz is not a requirement).
Fees
- £410 per per person
- £315 per person concession for under-18s, unemployed, students & OAP’s (proof of status is required)
