Jazz (B.M., KPA)

As part of our programme in Artistic-Pedagogical Training, the HfK Bremen offers a Bachelor in Jazz. The course is designed to acquaint students with all important aspects of this style of music, from consolidating basic techniques to improvising in ensemble and solo playing. The programme aims to sensitise prospective music teachers to the special requirements when dealing with jazz and its diverse styles. It is important to support students individually, support their performance and familiarise them as comprehensively as possible with phenomena of jazz and pop culture. The programme is focussed on optimising their ability to understand jazz music themselves and thereby convey it and make the fascinating qualities of this style of music accessible to others.

The lecturers in the field of music are renowned musicians who perform in concert halls around the world. A close and co-operative exchange between students and teachers is of central importance in the field of music.
