Instrumental (or vocal) classes:
In total 3 hours a day!
During the instrumental lessons and vocal classes, you will learn more about improvisation, technique, soloing, accompanying (if applicable), theory, interpretation, and repertoire.

• Do you want to reach perfectionism on your instrument?
• Do you waste practice time?
• Do you want to optimize your practice on your instrument? Get some new tips & tricks and exercises?
• Does your playing not sound like what you hear on recordings?
• What is the best gear for me?
• Do you want to have a class with the professionals from the upper league?
• Does amazing instrumental technique seem not attainable?

Team:
Experienced teachers, mostly two for each instrument group, will coach you individually during group sessions.

Instruments:
! All clinicians have to bring their own instruments!

Piano players: keyboard/electronic piano with amplification
Vocalists: microphone with small p.a. or amplification & music stand
Horn players: your instrument & music stand
Guitarists: guitar with amplification & music stand
Bass players: bass guitar with amplification & music stand
Drummers: drum set with carpet to protect the floor & music stand

Combos:
In total 3,5 hours a day!
Instrument teachers – all active as musicians – will take the lead during the combo sessions and you will learn more about form, style, groove, sound, blending, arrangement, solos, songs, and much more.

• Want to play with others and learn to know other musicians?
• Does your grooving still need some improvement?
• Want to learn new styles?
• Are you more of a ‘classical’ musician and want to learn how to play jazz?
• From starter over the intermediate to an advanced level?

Every clinician will take part in these combo sessions. Combos consist of a rhythm section (synths/keys, guitar, bass, and drums) with a horn player and singer. You will learn to apply techniques, learned during the instrumental classes, in a practical setting. There will be some 9 combos, which stand for the same amount of different levels.

The combo formations and instrumental classes will be based on the participants’ individual levels. Every player will be tested during the first instrumental classes to find out about his/her individual level. So it is best to prepare one or more pieces in advance.

We improve musical talent! Learning and playing in a group inspires musical talent!

Evening classes:
theory for beginners and theory for more advanced clinicians

• Are you a beginner and in need of more theoretical knowledge to understand more about pop?
• Is music theory still dark matter?
• What is a blues scale? A pentatonic lick?
• Want to know more about the history of jazz?
• Have you ever wanted to reach for higher music education and need some extra help?
• Heard about dominants but don’t know what they are?
• Is theory always boring?
• Will the understanding of progressions improve your playing?

For all classes, a syllabus with the topics (and much more) will be available.

After the theory classes, you can still continue: 3 evenings with extra workshops

• Music notation software: MuseScore and Sibelius
• Play-along programs: iRealPro and Band in a Box
• Sequencing: GarageBand and Reaper
• Combination of these software programs

Jam with former clinicians and participants.
Every evening most rooms will be open until Midnight. So you can use them for jamming, in different combinations, with or without guidance, with students or teaching staff.

• Want to jam into the early hours?
• Under the guidance of the teachers?
• Together with some of the teachers?
• Do you want to play with participants from a different level or in another music style?

On Wednesday there is the traditional staff concert and the clinic ends with the final concert of all combos. Of course, family members and friends are welcome at this concert, starting 7:30 PM at Zaal De Put at Destelheide!
