Abstract
For my Culminating Experience project, I delved into various methods of infusing educational elements into a music festival. Taking cues from the Panama Jazz Festival, I incorporated five educational components into the programming of my own Youth Jazz & Rock Festival in Subotica, Serbia. The five components that I explored are:
- Composition Masterclass
- Improvisation Workshop
- Music Pedagogy Masterclass
- Open Discussion Panel on the Potential and Danger of Artificial Intelligence in Art
- Masterclass on Berklee Global Jazz Institute musical and philosophical concepts.
I have created each piece of my Culminating Experience based on the final educational element I plan to incorporate into my festival: a masterclass on Berklee Global Jazz Institute musical and philosophical concepts. The concepts that I explore in my compositions, and plan to teach at my festival include Fear Training, Comprovisation, Pan-African History and Rhythmic Vocabulary, Zero Gravity, and Implementing Folkloric Elements of Different Cultures into Improvised Music.
