An exciting and unique school for jazz musicians and teachers has opened it’s doors in Manchester, England beginning September, 2012. The Northern School of Jazz is an alternative weekend institution dedicated to the development, enrichment and advocation of jazz studies.


Our friend, jazz guitarist, composer, arranger and educator, Kathy Dyson heads the Jazz Curriculum and Jazz Guitar departments and has always been at the forefront of initiating and expanding opportunities for studies in jazz everywhere she’s been.

The school offers opportunities for jazz students and jazz teachers alike by having personalized and flexible learning modules from an accomplished and seasoned staff of dedicated and committed jazz performers and educators.
