Bachelor and Master exchange programme Jazz Performance Campus Leuven
The Jazz department of Luca School of Arts is an inspiring and creative environment for European students, a setting in one of the main university cities in Europe. We offer different majors in jazz: double bass, drums, guitar, jazz vocals, piano, saxophone and trombone.
Curriculum
In our Jazz department, the main instrument and ensemble lessons are central. Musical foundation, classical analysis and arrangement develop your ear and theoretical thinking. In addition, reflection on your own musical practice is an essential part of the programme.
CrossLab
LUCA School of Arts is a biotope in which collaboration between students from different art disciplines is stimulated. This results in interesting crossovers and innovative artistic practices.
MASTERCLASSES, SYMPOSIA EN INTENSE PRAKTIJKERVARINGEN
Every year, the program organizes interesting masterclasses, workshops and clinics with external experts, renowned foreign instrumentalists, music therapists and pedagogues. Music practice is central to our campus. You not only make music during your practical lessons or self-study but also participate in our ensembles, choirs and orchestras and the prestigious artistic productions. These experiences transform you into a team player.
