National Youth Arts Wales are returning with a National Youth Jazz Wales Summer Residency.
The Residency will take place 25-28 August at RWCMD, Cardiff, bringing together another fantastic group of young jazz musicians for a fun-filled week of playing, learning, and making music together.
There will be an excellent team of tutors, including Huw Warren, Andrew Bain, Paula Gardiner, Tomos Williams and Joe Northwood.
The Residency is open to young people aged 14+. It is not suitable for complete beginners — as a guide, participants should be around Grade 3 standard or above — but the most important thing is that you have a passion for jazz and a willingness to learn, play, and collaborate.
The 4-day residency will cost £400. The fee includes tuition, accommodation and meals. Bursaries are available for those who need financial assistance, details of which can be found on our website.
Hope to see lots of NMS students in Cardiff this summer!
The deadline for booking on to the course is Tuesday 4th August. Book now: https://www.nyaw.org.uk/whats-on/national-youth-jazz-wales-summer-residency-1

Mae National Youth Arts Wales yn dychwelyd gyda Phreswylfa Haf National Youth Jazz Wales.
Cynhelir y Breswylfa rhwng 25 a 28 Awst yn RWCMD, Caerdydd, gan ddod â grŵp gwych arall o gerddorion jazz ifanc ynghyd ar gyfer wythnos llawn hwyl o chwarae, dysgu a gwneud cerddoriaeth gyda'i gilydd.
Bydd tîm rhagorol o diwtoriaid yn bresennol, gan gynnwys Huw Warren, Andrew Bain, Paula Gardiner, Tomos Williams a Joe Northwood.
Mae'r Breswylfa ar agor i bobl ifanc 14 oed a hŷn. Nid yw'n addas ar gyfer dechreuwyr llwyr — fel canllaw, dylai cyfranogwyr fod tua safon Gradd 3 neu uwch — ond y peth pwysicaf yw bod gennych angerdd am jazz a pharodrwydd i ddysgu, chwarae a chydweithio.
Cost y preswylfa pedwar diwrnod fydd £400. Mae'r ffi yn cynnwys hyfforddiant, llety a phrydau bwyd. Mae bwrsarïau ar gael i'r rhai sydd angen cymorth ariannol; gellir dod o hyd i fanylion am y rhain ar ein gwefan.
Gobeithio gweld llawer o fyfyrwyr NMS yng Nghaerdydd yr haf hwn!
Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer archebu lle ar y cwrs yw dydd Mawrth 4 Awst. Archebwch nawr: https://www.nyaw.org.uk/whats-on/national-youth-jazz-wales-summer-residency-1
