Three-year Academic Jazz Guitar Program

The Three-year Academic Jazz Guitar Program at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole is a structured training path that leads young musicians to obtain the First-level Academic Diploma in Advanced Artistic and Musical Training (AFAM), equivalent to a bachelorโ€™s degree.
The curriculum of the advanced jazz guitar program is rich and comprehensive, allowing young jazz guitarists to develop a mature artistic awareness. This includes an in-depth understanding of jazz composition and improvisation structures, as well as the historical and geographical evolution of the jazz language.
Progress in jazz guitar technique goes hand in hand with the study of improvisation, both in solo repertoire and ensemble settings.
Additional skills covered in the Three-year Academic Jazz Guitar Program include music informatics and proficiency in a second European language.

The Scuola di Musica di Fiesole offers an intensive program that enriches the training of jazz guitar students through interpretative seminars, meetings with leading musicians, and discussions with authors of musicology publications.
