About the Progressions Program
PROGRESSIONS caters for female and non-binary identifying instrumentalists who would like to learn more about jazz and improvised music, perform live at a professional Jazz Club, and work with some of Australia’s leading female jazz professionals.
Run in Perth since 2014, over the last decade these workshops have seen countless young female, trans and non-binary musicians build support networks, refine their skills and increase confidence.
During our weekly workshops, alumni tutors and participants learn and prepare material for an opportunity to perform live in concert!
