Course summary

Upon joining Trinity Laban’s Jazz Department, you will enter a vibrant and dynamic community of improvisers. Though grounded in the jazz tradition, we are constantly looking forward and we invite you to draw on a wealth of diverse influences within these traditions, and reinterpret them in new ways as you find your individual voice. We will support you as you develop as a musician, an improviser and an innovative performing artist, enabling you to reach your full creative potential.

Key Features
Your training will be centred around practical learning with a curriculum designed to develop your curiosity, professional skill set, and understanding of the contemporary world and music’s place within it.

During your time at Trinity Laban, you will advance your technique and musicianship through individual and group tuition, and many diverse performance opportunities. Alongside solo performance and building your experience in small and large ensemble contexts, you will have the opportunity to collaborate in multi-artform projects and present your work to a range of audiences.

You will be immersed in an inspirational community of global arts creators, from fellow students and staff, to visiting artists, ensemble directors and lecturers, creating the space for you to explore and challenge your artistry, and grow your professional network.

The demands of the profession are diverse, which is why your training here goes beyond traditional music education. You will develop entrepreneurial and business skills, learn how to look after your health and well-being as a musician, and establish robust learning techniques which will see you through your career.
