Glyn Jackson.

After completing a science degree in London, Glyn pursued an interest as a pianist in jazz and improvisation, attending courses at the City Lit. These included Jazz workshops and summer courses run by Eddie Harvey, and an Electronic Music and Improvisation course run by Philipp Wachsmann. He played piano in various restaurants through the 1980s, and in 1986 he played in a jazz trio accompanying a play at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. His interest in improvisation was very useful accompanying dance classes and this led to a post as a pianist in the Hammond School for dance in Chester.

In 1992 he completed a Music Therapy training at Roehampton institute and then worked for North Warwickshire NHS mental health services. The psychodynamic nature of music therapy led onto Glyn training as a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic. He completed this in 2002 and moved to Devon to work for Plymouth CAMHS (Child and Adolescent mental health service). Since retiring from the NHS he has had more opportunities to pursue his interest in improvisation through Ashburton Arts Centre and has performed improvised music to accompany a silent film and worked with an ensemble of dancers and musicians for an evening performance at the arts centre.
