Jazz Studies
Jazz studies majors
at UWSP strive toward their passionate understanding of music through the dual
pursuits of Research and Development.
Research includes transcription and performance of great music by artists
such as Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Charlie
Parker, and Miles Davis. By imitating and assimilating the language of these
masters, connections and underlying principles emerge and inform our
music-making.
Four full-time and two adjunct faculty assist students in their pursuit, in
addition to a continuing commitment to master classes, concerts, and residencies
with guest artists
