Overview

Our jazz faculty are acclaimed performing artists with backgrounds and experiences that span the entire spectrum of the music industry; their goal is to guide students toward instrumental mastery with a strong emphasis on individual artistic expression. The Jazz Studies MM program is offered at University of Texas at Austin.

Key Facts

In addition to weekly private study with a member of the artist faculty, students receive instruction in jazz and classically-based music theory and music history, participate in ensembles, and perform recitals.

A calendar of frequent guest artists and clinicians on-campus—most recently, Conrad Herwig—along with the annual Longhorn Jazz Festival, further enhances the creative climate of the program.
