So
I haven't posted anything on here for a while. I do apologise, this past week
has been hectic as I'll explain here. If you watch my YouTube videos (one of
them is above this text) you will have seen a vlog I edited of my time at the
NYJOS Summer School 2012. I had such an amazing time, it was great as it was
the 20th Anniversary of the group. As you can tell with the background to this
blog, I play the saxophone. And I've always been a lover of jazz music and have
always wanted to learn more about it, especially as my teacher specialises in
classical/exam pieces. He recommended this course to me last year and of course
I jumped at it. So my first year was last year where it was held at Strathallan
and it was incredible. I met so many people there from all over Scotland who
also had a love of jazz and had the opportunity to learn how to play amazing
music and make lifelong friends. So this year, it was great to see some of
these people again but also to see some new faces and make even more new
friends. Yes the course is pretty pricey and some people can't afford it, I
mean £330 is an awful lot of money, but the amount you learn and the experience
you get is second to none so if you play a jazz instrument and live in
Scotland, you have to go to the NYJOS Summer School, I'm now ordering you to
go. And who knows, if I save enough money next year, maybe you might see me
there. Now that would be funny. :) And to finish that post, here's how we spent
our time in our combo room. :D
