Your course

Master of Arts (Performance) Jazz

The Master of Arts in Performance is centred around the growth of the student's own artistic voice, working in a collaborative environment where composition, improvisation and performance skills are developed in synergy. This facilitates the creation of the lifelong musical associations and professional skills that you need to pursue the future you want as a 21st century musician.

Your Project preparation is supported by a team of specialists and provides an opportunity for you to enhance your creative work through specialised academic study and practice-led research. Postgraduate students are a vital part of the Academy’s musical culture, working in a uniquely collaborative performance environment ideally suited to helping talented musicians — from across the globe — to achieve their musical ambitions. Students wishing to prepare applications for doctoral study will normally choose the MMus rather than the MA. The programme path and length can be discussed at the entrance interview and adjusted as appropriate, you are not tied to the option you choose when you submit your application in UCAS Conservatoires
