Improbasen is a nationwide center in Norway, where children learn to play jazz.
Improbasens methods for teaching even small children to play complex music, has attracted attention all over Norway and abroad. Since 2008, some of the most progressive jazz musicians in Norway, including Thomas Strønen, Ole Morten VÃÂ¥gan, Hedvig Mollestad Thomassen, Mats Eilertsen, Hanna Paulsberg and Tore Brunborg, have conducted workshops at the center.
Improbasen has engaged in comprehensive educational projects in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Japan.
The center also helped develop the jazz club Barnas Jazzhus, and the international festival Kids in Jazz. In August 2014, the founder of Improbasen, Odd André Elveland, received the award Ella-prisen for his work with children and jazz.
