Programme Synopsis What is Jazz? Jazz music is a broad style of music characterized by complex harmony, syncopated rhythms, and a heavy emphasis on improvisation. This programme is an edutainment programme where instructions are presented in a performance manner. Started by black musicians in New Orleans, Louisiana, many variations of jazz have developed and evolved in the early twentieth century. Our jazz trios, quartets, quintets and big band performances will allow students to understand Jazz’s distinctive rhythmic patterns that are unique to the genre, raising awareness and appreciation to its art of improvisation. Students will be able to understand more about historical influences on jazz music and the many subgenres of jazz that can be derived from societal revolutions. The programme also opens up doors to students that are open to explore new genres of music and to develop a liking for more niche types of music. Sample content presented in the programme: - A history introduction and timeline of jazz evolution - Identifying which era of jazz music that is performed - Identify unique instruments that comprises a jazz/big band (lead instruments, rhythm instruments, woodwind, brass, etc.) - Understanding the functions of the various instruments - Distinguish jazz genre of music from others - The role of a live band when accompanying a singer or lead instrument - Understand how jazz music is applied in the entertainment industry today e.g. film soundtracks in Hollywood movies - Explore the various subgenres of jazz in swing, bossa, bebop, latin, samba and many other forms - Using a popular song and jazzify it in many different ways - and more… This blended programme has customisable themes available to incorporate National Day Celebrations, Mother-Tongue week, Art & Music Week, Children’s Day and more into both LIVE and DIGITAL Versions.
