About the course

　　The strength of the course lies in the focus on live-performance outcomes that encourage creativity and individuality at every stage. Repertoire and improvisation skills are central, and are taught in a scaffolded manner alongside engaging academic units within each year of the degree. All students participate in a variety of ensembles, from big bands to jazz trios, and explore a diverse range of swing styles, modern grooves and everything in between. The jazz performance major has a global outlook, incorporating a visiting artist schedule of interactions and workshops that are second to none, international study tours and exchange opportunities, whilst priding itself on award-winning faculty staff, collectively holding immense professional knowledge that is on offer and available to students year-round.
