Introduction to Jazz Improvisation
Jazz Improv with Ed MacEachen was a class I looked forward to each week. The participants were warm and receptive, and Ed was a masterful teacher; supportive and non-judgmental, but also flexible and informative. He was able to take each student where they were in their musical journey and create a cohesive course content for everyone involved. What a pleasure it was working with such a superb instructor. I look forward to the next session! -
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
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. -
