Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra

Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra was founded in 1976 by Richard Michael BEM and is a unique youth music initiative which combines high-quality music education with all the fun, freedom and creativity of jazz. FYJO is the place for anyone aged between 8 and 24 who plays a musical instrument and wants to play jazz with other young people.

FYJO’s philosophy is Mistakes are cool! and there are no auditions or formal requirements for new members.

Dedicated jazz tutors led by founder and award-winning jazz musician and composer Richard Michael BEM encourage youngsters to develop at their own pace within FYJO’s orchestra. Over 50 years they have helped hundreds of young people grow into confident instrumentalists and ensemble players. The videos here are an ensemble of rehearsals and concerts over the last few years.
