MUSIC PERFORMANCE
Master
The Master of Arts in Music Performance – Jazz ‘Performer Composer’ programme prepares students for a career as professional performers, whether as freelance artists or within production institutions. The programme maintains high artistic standards and covers all professions related to the diverse styles and practices of jazz.
The curriculum focuses on the main discipline (instrumental performance, vocal performance or conducting), while also deepening collective practice within different ensembles. Theoretical and practical reflection conducted during seminars completes this training.
The two years of study culminate in a Master's project structured around three areas: artistic production, ensemble practice, and reflective practice.
