Studying music further
« Reply #15 on: March 10, 2006, 07:11:53 PM »
I'm at BIMM and it's great. However, if you want to study jazz I'd probably go for a degree in 'Jazz Studies' at Leeds. Paul Bielatovichdkdhfjd teaches here in Brighton, and he's got that very degree.

The degree course at BIMM, from what I've heard, is extremely in-depth, but is based around being very competent in every darn style out there (perfect for a wanabee session player  :wink: ) ...it's not just focussed on jazz.

LIPA. thats a good place for music, lots of courses, very limited space though. as with most places the competition is fierce, about 600 applicants per 10 places. my friend had an interview there on the 20th of february, he's doin some kinda jazz study course, your theory and ability to sight read have to be pretty good.

paul mcartney is quite heavily involved with the running of the uni.


whatever and where ever you choose, good luck dude.
