  Welcome to Traveling School’s Play Jazz Workshop!
  What is it?  
Jazz and improvisation workshops in schools, community centers and music festivals- the Traveling School has a unique approach involving participants in an emotional and dynamic experience. The workshops are conceived to teach and encourage people to improvise musically.  The method places an emphasis on group cohesion and interaction.  All instrumentalists and vocalists are welcome in these classes.

Jazz feeling is the springboard, and Traveling School specializes in helping anyone learn to improvise.   Beginners, conservatory students, professional musicians and music teachers have all participated simultaneously at Play Jazz workshops.  Traveling School goes on tour with its staff, a special group of musicians experienced in a unique approach that provides a safe creativity environment for the participants.

Traveling School is a cultural association founded by Jimmy Weinstein and Liliana Santon in 2002 in Padova,  Italy and has been active in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, Romania and the US.  Since 2006 Traveling School has hosted the 5 day jazz seminar at Mallorca Jazz  Sa Pobla.
