What are we doing?

We play a lot together. A combination of interaction, how the music has been played throug the times in history, and what techniques are used. In the classroom, on stage and in the studio. To perform well in interaction with others, it is important to have played or sung before.

Hopefully, pop/ rock & jazz history related to practically directed music theory, will give you greater understanding of music and contribute to your musical development.

The study tour gives you the opportunity to experience new places, concerts, jazz clubs and musicals. Guided tours allow you to experience music history in a new way. Keywords such as jazz, rock, pop, punk and hop-hop are central. In addition, you will get to know new people and places, shop a little and also be a tourist.

Songwriting is an elective that is central to music students.
