Metro Jazz is The Met’s own community jazz orchestra led by experienced saxophonist and educator Munch Manship.

Metro Jazz is open to anyone aged 16-100 (and beyond!) who plays an instrument to a competent standard (but don’t worry about grades) and is interested in learning about and playing jazz music.

If you would consider yourself a beginner, can play an instrument but have never played jazz before or are just a bit nervous, get in touch and we’ll arrange a free taster session for you. The group are very welcoming and friendly.

Any instruments are welcome to get involved including vocalists as all arrangements are created especially for the band to suit the blend of sounds and expertise in the room.

Visit Munch’s website to get a flavour for his work.

Please contact education@themet.org.uk about getting involved.
