Renowned jazz educator Richard Michael’s masterclasses are being made available to a wider audience as podcasts by BBC Radio Scotland. The series cuts through some the potentially off-putting, technical jargon of the jazz world and has been well received so far. The first one onto the BBC website is about Scales and Modes. Others so far posted are about Melody, Groove and Harmony.

Richard Michael does workshops with children. He contributed a piece about his Edinburgh Festival family show to LondonJazz News last summer
