The jazz performance program combines a well-rounded liberal arts foundation with rigorous musical training to prepare students for careers as professional jazz and popular music artists.
Participants achieve core proficiency on their instruments while cultivating professional abilities in both intimate combo settings and larger studio ensembles. Essential elements like rhythm, tone, blues expression, spontaneous creativity, and advanced musical dialogue form the curriculum's central pillars.
Located mere minutes from St. Louis' vibrant music scene - a city instrumental in shaping blues, ragtime, jazz, rock, and hip hop - SIUE offers students abundant performance opportunities both on campus and throughout this musically rich region.
As legendary jazz artist Quincy Jones remarked, Jazz represents the classical tradition of popular music.
