Hi all, I’m about to travel to the Isle of Wight for Django On The Island. A weekend of learning about the style of Django and Stephane. We sold out our October edition a few weeks after announcing it last year and are now running a second event in April. https://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/pages/django-weekend-2026 Check out this video to see the vibe (warning the vibe is pretty good)

Hey, tonight in the beginners class we are going to be looking at the B section for Lady Be Good. A perfect lead on from my 5 Day Challenge course. Still a chance to sign up before we start at 7pm. Get involved by becoming a VIP member. https://www.skool.com/jazzviolin/plans See you in there!

Hi there, I've added a new monday class and slightly shuffled things around for how they run. Two weekly live sessions run in here, both on Mondays, so wherever you are in your playing there's a room for you. Beginners Class — Mondays 7pm UK For violinists just getting going with jazz. You follow along muted with my violin and guitar playing as a guide, and each month we take a different tune and break it into small, playable pieces. Over the year we work through all ten tunes from my 10 Tunes You Must Know course, so whenever you join you'll be playing from your first session, and within a year you'll have a proper repertoire of standards under your fingers. Practice Club — Mondays 6pm UK My long-running session for players already comfortable improvising over a tune. It's a window into my own practice room: each month I write an etude over a standard and we drill it in useful, challenging ways, all by ear. You follow along muted while I play. How it works for both The first 10 minutes is a bit of a chat about how everyone's getting on with their practice. You're welcome to turn up for that and share, just listen, or skip it and come in for the playing at 7.10 or 6.10. Every class is recorded and posted afterwards, so if you can't make it live you can follow along in your own time. You also get all the written materials we work on each week to keep and practise from. Bring your questions and share how you're getting on. Both classes are part of VIP membership. If you'd like to chat with me before jumping in, book a call here: https://scheduler.zoom.us/matt-holborn/jazz-violin-chat Both sessions are designed so you can join up at anytime but right now there is a decent discount for yearly subscriptions

Its Monday! We are practising together tonight 6pm UK time. Looking at an Etude I wrote over the old standard "rose Room". It's a tune you hear a lot of the world of Django (Gypsy Jazz) and it's a great tune to know for lots of different harmonic reasons too. I help people supercharge their practise every week with the breadth of my knowledge as a pro jazz violinist (as well as someone who just loves to practise) Come try one for free tonight, send me a message on here or comment on this post to come try!
