First-Level Academic Jazz Programs

Three-year Academic Jazz Instrument and Jazz Singing Programs at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole for the First-level Academic Diploma in Artistic and Musical Higher Education (AFAM)

For students interested in jazz, the Three-year Academic Programs in jazz instruments and jazz singing organized by the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole allow them to obtain the First-level AFAM Diploma (Academic Diploma in Artistic and Musical Higher Education), equivalent to a bachelor’s degree.

Three-Year Jazz Academic Programs

The First-level, Three-year Academic Programs at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole dedicated to jazz include, in addition to jazz singing, the main instruments used in this genre: electric bass, drums, guitar, clarinet, double bass, piano, saxophone, and trumpet.
In addition to strengthening their skills in jazz music and its extensive repertoire, students in the Three-year Academic Jazz Programs refine their instrumental or vocal techniques and practice improvisation, both as soloists and in ensemble settings.

Music informatics and the study of a second European language complete the curriculum of the three-year jazz programs.

A fundamental aspect throughout the entire three-year program is the students’ participation in jazz performance activities organized by the school, which helps them consolidate their acquired skills and directly face the emotional aspects of musical performance.

Opportunities for Students of the Three-year Jazz Academic Programs

Every year, the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole organizes numerous educational events (interpretation seminars, meetings with internationally renowned musicians, and more), offering students of the three-year jazz academic programs valuable opportunities to enrich their education.

Study Abroad Programs for Students of the Three-Year Jazz Academic Programs

Students in the jazz programs at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole have the opportunity to spend a study period abroad, thanks to the school’s participation in the Erasmus+ exchange programs for the European Union and SEMP (Swiss Exchange Mobility Programme) for Switzerland.
