Jazz Composition workshop
at Morley College, London · college
What the college says
The jazz composition workshop is aimed at all levels of composers, both relative newcomers and more experienced writers. New and returning students are welcome. During the class we will discuss different writing techniques, approaches to developing material and analyse existing compositions by great jazz writers, such as Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk and Maria Schneider. A good working knowledge of jazz harmony and scales is helpful, but not essential, especially if you are willing to do some extra work outside of the classes. There are weekly assignments and potentially a chance to record your compositions with professionals in term 3.
What you need to get on
Some knowledge of the different types of jazz chords, scales is helpful. Musescore is used for score writing (it is free), but other software is used by some students.
How you are assessed
Short courses, awards and certificates that do not fit the main routes.
