FAQ

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

• What do I need to bring? You’ll need your instruments and a music stand. There is one piano, so if you’re a keyboard player you probably need to bring a keyboard and amp. Guitarists will need amps, but vocalists probably only need to bring a mic.

  A towel is provided by the centre, but I always take a big one of my own.

  Some people bring bottles of wine to drink with the meals. Probably best not to drink wine at breakfast however.

• I can’t get to Grafham at 18:00 on a Friday. What can I do? Let the centre know what time you’ll turn up and they will keep a meal warm for you. Some people turn up on Saturday morning.
• I’m a beginner and I’m intimidated. Will I enjoy myself? Absolute beginners are going to struggle. You need to have some level of playing ability, even if you’ve never looked at jazz before. But given that, the course is very encouraging, and there’s scope for all levels on the course.
• ^*Bonus self-referential question: My question isn’t on this FAQ list. What do I do? Send your question to info@grafhamjazz.com and I’ll answer it. And I’ll add it to the list (even if it’s not quite “frequent” yet).
