Jazz
Learn from an outstanding faculty of teachers whose experience covers the breadth of contemporary jazz practice.
The Royal Academy of Music’s Jazz Department produces outstanding, highly employable musicians known for their creativity and versatility. Our recent alumni include Emma Rawicz, Jacob Collier and Ife Ogunjobi (Ezra Collective).
We support you to find your unique creative voice, which will speak equally across performance, improvisation and composition. We do this through full and varied undergraduate and postgraduate courses that cover many aspects and forms of jazz and its meeting points with other genres.
We foster an encouraging environment in which to learn and experiment with this extremely broad art form, equipping you with all the skills you’ll need as a working musician. Thanks to the scale, focus and personal approach of our training, you will get frequent performance opportunities.
As well as receiving an incredibly high-quality education, I’ve developed great friendships with some of the best jazz musicians of our age in the country.
