Programme content
1. A master recital is a programme which is centred on the instrument/voice concerned.
2. The programme is compiled in consultation with the main subject teacher.
3. The programme forms a coherent whole.
4. The recital gives an idea of the personal musical development of the student.
5. The pieces performed are characterised by a personal interpretation, arrangement, groove,
sound, approach, different from any standard performance.
6. Compositions by the student are preferable, though not obligatory.
7. The following is assessed: musical value of the entire recital, quality of the time, feel and
grooves, technical mastery, expressiveness, dynamics, playing together and interaction, level
of difficulty of the pieces, stylistic conceptions, interpretation of the arrangements, creative
content, phrasing, articulation, sound and improvisation.
8. The organisation and presentation of the recital as a whole.
Ensemble performance
Stylistically interpreting the jazz repertoire in a heterogeneous ensemble setting.
The focus is on the quality of the way students play and sound together (rhythm section / horn section
/ vocal section) by listening to each other and creating a feel/groove/sound/attitude/presentation
together that suits the repertoire.
The following is assessed:
Playing in an ensemble setting:
- theme: may include intro, outro, interlude, shout chorus, coda, fours
- improvisation: in an arrangement or open
This is done using (a) good:
- accompaniment ( make the others sound good....)
- groove / drive / timing / rhythmic interpretation / tempo
- dynamics
- interaction / reaction /call + response
- phrasing, intonation
- choice of notes / melody structure (for improvisation)
- timbre / overall sound
- arrangement: form / instrumentation / voicings / rhythm arrangement
- emotion / expression / mood
57
It is assessed how each instrument performs the varying functions in each part of the arrangement
stylistically and how this affects the band sound / overall sound.
MASTERY
Mastery is defined by:
- stylistic interpretation of the theme
- stylistic improvisation on the theme as a soloist or in a collective improvisation
- stylistic accompaniment of these improvisations.
STYLISTIC
Stylistic improvisations are defined by:
1) Music recordings that define this style.
2) - choice of notes / melody formation
- choice of rhythm
- sound formation
- dynamics
- phrasing
- timing / pulse treatment
- rhythmic interpretation
- beat
This in turn is determined by the musical characteristics of the various modern jazz styles, such as:
- Swing / New Orleans / Dixie
- Bebop
- Cool Jazz (orchestral and Small Band)
- Hard bop
- Soul Jazz
- Third Stream Music
- Latin (Jazz) / Bossa Nova / Samba
- Free (Jazz)
- Mainstream
- Fusion
- Motown / Soul / Funk / Pop jazz
REPERTOIRE
Compositions from various styles (jazz and pop standards) as well as the students own compositions
which may have been influenced by these styles. The pieces can be divided into triple and duple
rhythmic interpretations.
(Historical) audio recordings of these pieces give an indication of the interpretation of the repertoire.
The compositions may be played in an open or arranged form.
Style characteristics
BEBOP
- Line themes (compositions by Parker, Gillespie etc.)
- Standards in Bebop style characterised by:

During the Bachelor's programme, the student has developed artistically and technically and has
become acquainted with many aspects of his/her field, which included participation in masterclasses
and projects with interesting musicians. The Master's student is therefore considered to be a musical
personality, capable of introspection and of making the right choices regarding his or her ongoing
musical development.
The student is at the centre of the programme and is largely responsible for determining the set-up
and course of his studies.
In order to make his choices concrete, the student writes his CV and first Personal Development Plan
(PDP) before the entrance examination, outlining how he intends to achieve his final qualifications.
Apart from the musical qualities, the examining board also assessed this PDP and the Curriculum
Vitae. The PDP is assessed on content and feasibility.
The PDP is revised and made concrete at the start of the first year. The student describes which
learning objectives he wants to achieve in the first year and how, based on a SWOT analysis. Which
lessons, masterclasses, projects, work placements and with which internal or external lecturers?
At the end of the first year, the student writes a reflection report and a PDP for year 2. At the end of
year 2, the student writes a reflection report.
