Bachelor of Music - Jazz

The University of Auckland

Studies in the Jazz specialisation centre around improvisational music. With a focus on improvisational methods through memory, transcription and analysis, you'll advance your instrumental proficiency. You'll also deepen your knowledge of jazz history and theory while gaining well-rounded expertise in the genre.

You'll benefit from opportunities to perform in recitals and concerts. Not only are these excellent assessment tools but they'll also act as preparatory gigs for you as you develop the skills required to perform as both a band member and leader. Collaborations are a major focus for the jazz community, and these are actively fostered within our programme. If you're a student in the Jazz, Performance, or Songcraft and Production specialisations, you'll enjoy opportunities to work with others and learn from their practice.
