Masterclass & concert Don Braden

Every week, our jazz students are taught by a USA teacher as part of our ‘New York comes to Groningen’ programme. On Monday afternoon at 15:30, the USA teacher of that week gives a masterclass and concert in the Jazz Club of the Prince Claus Conservatoire. By listening and participating, students will learn all about harmony, rhythm, improvisation, timing, playing in an ensemble and much more. Inspiring and educational!
