The first logo of Puzzle

The association was founded in 1985 by two former teachers of the music school of Sannois, Jean Caillez and Olivier Charmeux, and by parents of pupils. Puzzle became jazz school in 1989.


What are the concerts in which the school took part ?
Apart from the Puzzle concerts, which take place once or twice a year and which consist in showing the work of all the bands affiliated to the school, the concerts which are not organized only by the independent bands were rather numerous. However, it is possible to give a short list of them : concert in "octophonie" as part of the urban fair called "Sannois Sidéral" (1991), first jazz night in Sannois (1993), opening of the Espace Michel Berger or EMB (1994), "Play it again" as part of the cinema centenary (1995), master class with Baseline (1996).

Which is the originality of the Puzzle education ?
Puzzle is a jazz school which gives a dual ecuation without any examination. The mixing of theory with practice makes it possible to eliminate the daunting aspect often attributed to the musical notation.

Which are the requirements to take part in a band ?
To take part in a school band, there is no particular requirement. However, one can only express the wish for doing it, because the decision is the one of the board of directors and of the head teachers, according to the planned formation and course of each band at the beginning of the school year.
To take part in an independent band, there is no particular requirement. It is only necessary that the other members agree, and that the new member pays his membership when joining the band.


How to get to the "Accès Adhérents" sections ?
