Music Theatre Production – ‘Anything Goes’ (2010)
Jazz Performance
The jazz course at WAAPA has long been recognised as one
of the strongest jazz courses in the southern hemisphere,
producing many nationally and internationally renowned
jazz musicians.
The strength of the course lies in the focus on performance
outcomes, hence all educational units are based around
developing these skills.
Students have the option of pursuing a performance or
arranging stream in third year culminating in a professional
recital. Throughout the year all students participate in many
varied ensembles, from big bands to jazz trios and everything
in between.
The jazz course has a visiting artist program that is second to
none, and prides itself on the depth of professional knowledge
that is on offer to students year round.
