Jazz
Do you dream of a musical career? At the Conservatorium Maastricht you will develop your musical talent and prepare yourself for an international career. You can choose from Classical Music or Jazz. Both study programmes are English-taught and attract many students from abroad. Also (guest) lecturers come from all over the world. This creates a vibrant, dynamic environment through all of the lessons, concerts and (international) projects.
Playing jazz requires creativity. The ability to see beyond your own boundaries. To let go and then regain control. Jazz is improvisation in any form. Bands with a wide variety of styles rehearse on a weekly basis. You can take part in our Big Band, the Jazz Choir, the Jazzical ensemble or a Latin Band, to name a few. To play at national and international venues, competitions and festivals.
Composing, arranging, making original music is an important part of the programme. Making music together – is at the core of the programme. The international teaching staff will encourage you to be creative and imaginative, and inspire you to develop your own style. This is achieved through regular lessons, as well as special theme days, workshops, projects, and masterclasses during which students explore a particular style, a musician or band, a rhythm or a concept.
We challenge you.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Spark your imagination and develop your own sound.
Become a creative, professional and versatile musician in an international environment.
