New York Jazz Academy

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.

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. You can study with them for a while or for ever if you like, and just keep getting better. They also offer many awesome online classes and I think this great for people who want to have acces to high quality education and that are in other side of the globe. Their online education is, as all of their programs top of the line, a fruitful contribution for jazz music. One other thing to consider is price, I think that from what they offer (to really help you with your exact musical goals) they charge way to reasonable, and that for me is so much more valuable than what ever any acredited jazz university with un-personilized programs offer and end up charging you for ever and giving you not what you need exactly but what ever they have.

Really great teachers. Amazing musical experience.
