The
program
can be divided into three levels: basic level, intermediate level, advanced level. A gradual and organic path leads the student to a complete knowledge of the techniques to improvise correctly and effectively, while developing the skills at the same time. à to recognize sensitive events of jazz language such as phrasing, harmonic structures, rhythmic figurations (ear training). For each year 10 pieces have been proposed that respect a growing level of difficulty and the topics covered during the lessons. that follows will be clearly adapted to the individual student in relation to the level already reached previously and to his specific requests for further study
of
individual themes and / or styles.
