Composition Jazz/Rock/Pop
Practice-oriented work in projects. Interdisciplinary collaboration. Joint exploration, development, learning and working. Authenticity, professionalism, versatility - these are the characteristics of the Jazz / Rock / Pop composition course.
Training broad, practical, individual

During the studies, we develop professional technical and artistic skills. Openness in all styles. A broad foundation of working methods. Creative work within a set framework. Writing for large and small ensembles, for voices, instruments and electronics. Collaboration with other musicians, artists and trades.

We want to make personal and accessible music. Music that speaks to many people. Based on the jazz / pop tradition, and open in all directions, we develop a personal, authentic, emotional musical language that appeals to many people, that inspires and moves. Music that comes from listening and singing.

The course is consistently practical. We regularly conceptualize and compose projects of all kinds, produce them in the studio and bring them to the stage. In a wide variety of styles, with ensembles and musicians from light to serious music. Acoustic music and DAW productions, collaborations with other arts and artists.
