Course Description
MUSED 496:  Special Topics in Music Education
Centrum’s 2007 Jazz Workshop

This Workshop offers participants the opportunity to rehearse, perform and study with leading jazz artists. Emphasis is placed on developing and refining rehearsal and performance skills, as well as developing as a soloist, primarily within ensembles.  Study in jazz theory, history, and diverse  ensembles is also made available to interested students.

Participants will be evaluated based on their participation in ensembles and classes, as well as a paper which discusses the skills, techniques and concepts emphasized in the courses they follow. Topics could include: a comparison of teaching methodologies and approaches observed during the Workshop; a summary of the philosophies of the artist faculty in their approach to jazz performance and instruction; or the application of the content of the Workshop to the participant’s own skill level.
