Taking music lessons to the "next level"
The Richmond Youth Jazz Guild was created in 2008 by Jazz
composer, pianist and social entrepreneur, Ashby Anderson, as a way
to bring Jazz and acoustic instrument playing back into the lives of
youth in the Richmond metropolitan area. In February 2008, Ashby
Anderson opened up his studio, MUSE CREATIVE WORKSPACE, (a
5,000 sq. ft. warehouse equip with grand piano and drum set ) to his
long-time friend for drum lessons for their sons. Within a few months
Ashby saw the future of music instruction in Richmond, VA, thus the
Richmond Youth Jazz Guild was born.
To date, the Richmond Youth Jazz Guild had successfully
implemented music lessons for all instruments, produced many
student concerts, hosted three summer camps, prepared young
musicians seeking college admissions for music, produced a music
composition workshop for young aspiring composers, and hosted a
master class with national jazz musician, "Trombone Shorty".
