NYJO Network Digital Hub
Added to website 27/04/2026.
National Youth Jazz Orchestra’s Network Digital Hub is a place to share best practice in the training and professional development of musicians interested in growing their skills as jazz educators, and increasing their confidence in delivering sessions focused on improvised music-making.
On National Youth Jazz Orchestra’s Network Digital Hub you will find modular resources for school teachers, example workshop plans, and deep dives into more specific pedagogical approaches. We hope that there is something useful on here for everyone, whatever your current skills or experience.
The educator resources have been developed by some of our fabulous musicians, designed to share what they have learnt about the best ways to approach jazz education with your students. From beginner resources to advanced improvisation techniques.
Our modular resource packs are designed as 6-8 weeks worth of session plans and content that you can adapt and work through with your own classes. Each pack focuses on a specific theme, either musical or social, and supports you to lead sessions with your students that build their musical skills and confidence, whilst also opening up key conversations around topics like gender, mental health, and home.
