Spring Jazz Intensives
Simply the best! It was one of the best experiences I had in New York in 2016, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn with great teachers and i have met so many talented musicians and singers. I totally recommend for all the jazz singers and musicians with or without experience to apply to the intensives. A special thank to Javier and all my amazing teachers, Aubrey, Tammy and Carolyn, and the talented David. Greetings from Brazil ! -
Spring Jazz Intensives
New York Jazz Academy is amazing, as a student in one of the workshops I am very exited to share that in a very short period of time I have learned so much and that I finally started expresing my self in a more musical way. What ever your musical goals are, there will be a program designed to help reach those goals. I have had the oportunity to study with several teachers and wow, these guys are amazing, as musicians and educators. It is such a Joy to be a part of these programs. For those interested in learning jazz, I highly recomend NYJA. -
Spring Jazz Intensives
My experience with NYJA has been absolutely amazing. David Engelhard is a phenomenal teacher, and an even better person. Javier Arau, the founder of NYJA has gone above and beyond to ensure that I found a NYJA program which was the correct fit for my musical goals. NYJA has an atmosphere of professionalism, equality, humility, and passion- staying true to the roots of jazz music indeed. I haven't experienced a 2 hour group/session that was more educational and inspirational in years. I'm humbled and thrilled to be a part of NYJA. -
