We are inviting high school aged instrumentalists and vocalists in years 9-12 to spend a week on campus and explore the world of Jazz and Improvisation.
Meet like-minded musicians and develop your playing, skill set and creativity when approaching Jazz music and exploring Improvisation. The week of tuition is supported by a range of staff from the Jazz and Improvisation department at the Melbourne Conservatoirum of Music and covers a variety of sectional workshops and learning labs.
Participants will engage in instrument / voice specific workshops, small ensemble playing, group singing, group rhythm/drumming, tools for improvisation, listening sessions and jam sessions.
The final afternoon will feature an informal concert of small ensemble performances to celebrate the week.
