Edinburgh Napier University Summer School
Edinburgh Napier University Jazz Summer School takes place during the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 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.
Applications for the 2026 Summer School will open in Spring 2026.
