The Rowan University Jazz Program is designed to prepare the serious jazz musician for a career in music. The degree includes 80 credits in music subjects and 45 credits in general education. Acceptance into the program is based on several factors: performance auditions, tests of musical ability, previous academic standing and score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. All students study a major instrument with an artist/teacher, engage in private study in improvisation, perform in small jazz ensembles, and gain experience playing in a big jazz band. Classes in music theory, aural perception, keyboard, and music history round out the curriculum. All students perform a jury examination at the conclusion of each semester and prepare and present a full recital their senior year. The challenging but friendly atmosphere of Rowan University creates an ideal environment in which to study jazz. Our faculty is comprised of working professional musicians dedicated to preserving this uniquely American art form and passing it on to others.
