Open to both instrumentalists (any instruments) and singers, this is an ideal opportunity to perform a wide variety of jazz and popular music with groups in mixed line-ups. You should be competent on your instrument and/or voice and have reasonable fluency in reading melody and bass lines and chord charts. The course covers the practical application of arranging, composing skills, rhythm section/horn section interaction, ensemble playing and improvisation. It is arranged in three 10-week terms covering three general styles and/or influences: popular/rock/blues, latin rhythm, and jazz. You can enrol for all three terms or each term individually.
