Want To Play In A Face-To-Face Group?

  • Birdland Band (Grades 1-4) for those who play woodwind, brass and rhythm section instruments (guitar, piano, bass & drums) who are just starting out on their jazz education journey
  • Vanguard Band (Grades 5+) for those who play sax, brass, and rhythm section who want to explore some more advanced music and play in more intricate and potentially challenging ensembles.  Vocalists are also warmly welcomed.

We are now excited to present the new St Albans Music School Jazz Collective which aims to build one large jazz student community covering all instruments, with opportunities to perform solo, in small groups, in larger ensembles and as an entire collective.

New methods of online learning are combined with real live, face-to-face playing so you can learn all about jazz, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be.

Membership of the SAMS Jazz Collective entitles you to access all online materials, invites you to attend county wide jazz projects (online and face to face) and gives you the opportunity to perform at SAMS Jazz Collective gigs as a soloist, with our ensembles or in your own band.

Here is an example of the kind of videos you can access in the collection of learning materials available on our online portal (which is constantly being added to!)
