Enough entries Voice block 2 (Feb ’25)
Have you always wanted to play in a jazzband? In this course you will be learning to play together and improvise with fellow musicians. We have room for all instrumentalists who want to improvise: drums, guitar, piano, bass, wind instruments and singers. Existing jazz bands are also welcome (read further below).
What will you be doing?
We will be playing well-known jazz standards, but lesser known and jazz-related pieces are also covered. There will also be opportunities to bring pieces of music yourself.
Attention is paid to instruments such as instrument exploration, soloing, phrasing, timing, dynamics, sound, form retention, diagrams and basic theory. You will also work on expanding your jazz repertoire.
The course is set up in such a way that you can play at the level that suits you best. To this effect, the teacher will put you into a group in advance (see registration procedure). You are expected to do homework at home and – if necessary – practice parts.
Registration procedure. (Enough entries voice)
