We’re always super keen for our wonderful musicians to draw inspiration from beyond the school gates, and on Thursday we were incredibly lucky to welcome Issie Barratt from the National Youth Jazz Collective – internationally active award-winning Composer, Arranger, Conductor, Baritone Player, Record Producer and Educator – for a fascinating day of workshops.
Her visit was in recognition of the number of girls who are high level performers and involved in our jazz band and local ensembles. Our GCSE and A-level students and Senior ensembles thoroughly enjoyed learning from Issie’s vast professional experience – truly a rare and invaluable opportunity for them both for their studies and as future professional musicians!
Enjoy listening to this smooth jazz practice!
