MUSJAZZ 1001 - Jazz Performance 1A

Specialisations are available in a variety of instruments, or in voice. Students receive individual tuition for their specialisation (9 hours per semester). Through the study of appropriate technical and jazz repertoire, students develop advanced technical skills together with a sound understanding of jazz style/interpretative principles. They are expected to perform their chosen repertoire with accuracy and fluency, displaying rhythmic control together with a well developed creative and expressive sense. They need to demonstrate jazz improvisation in appropriate styles and a strong conceptual understanding of the compositions performed together with an ability to communicate with their audience.
