At Jazz Workshop Australia we teach people how to play jazz.

We are a music school specialising in teaching jazz and improvised music. Our aim is music education of the highest quality.
We are in a purpose-built venue in the Sydney suburb of St Leonards. Here you can take individual music lessons, learn jazz improvisation, play in one of our combos, enjoy a holiday camp, and be part of a vibrant creative community of jazz musicians.

Gifted and talented young musicians can audition for one of our JWA Academy ensembles. These provide a fast-track to success for the most motivated and talented students in a stimulating, challenging environment.

For those who want a less intense program, or are working towards auditioning, we have a full range of bands and courses for everyone. See the bands page for details.

Music Lessons & Bands

At The Jazz Workshop there are qualified teachers to give you or your child individual music lessons on a wide range of instruments as well as tuition in jazz improvisation. We also run bands, school holiday camps, HSC accompaniment and performance preparation, Jazz Camp, and music tours.

The teaching faculty at the Jazz Workshop are all leading professionals: outstanding educators and performers, including some of the most well respected figures in Australian Jazz. They are all specially selected by us to run their teaching studios in our premises. Lessons are available in thirty minute and one hour slots. Students of all ages and standards are welcome. Jazz Workshop caters particularly to students who want to learn to play jazz or who are looking for an alternative to traditional exam-based teaching methods.
