How do we make up music on the spot? What ways are people using to make up jazz today? On the eve of International Jazz Day, we will reflect on the diversity of what jazz has become as a global phenomenon.

Led by guitarist, vocalist and composer Jess Green, participants will explore techniques to connect improvising with composing, using Australian compositions as vehicles for play and discovery. These workshops are open to all high school aged students, with no pre-requisites. Students will have opportunities to sing, clap and play their instruments in collective improvisation, as well learn from Conservatorium jazz students and lecturers about studying jazz at the Conservatorium.
