Masters Performance Forum 1: Global Jazz

PS-540

In this seminar and performance-based course, students learn interdisciplinary approaches to music-making and explore concepts of aesthetics, with a focus on developing their own aesthetic philosophy. Students perform and analyze original music projects; they learn to evaluate and critique each other; and they learn to respond to feedback and advice. Students collaborate with classmates, guest lecturers and artists-in-residence. They synthesize rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic vocabulary from a variety of musical styles. Additionally, they complete weekly directed studies with artists-in-residence, focusing especially on their own artistic projects.
