ABOUT WORKSHOP JAZZINTY 2021 (16.—21. 8. 2021)

Workshop Jazzinty is a one-week intense musical education course open for anyone, who is interested in improvised and jazz music, no matter what your instrument or level of education is. We require a basic understanding of your instrument, whereas a past experience in jazz or improvised music isn’t necessary. The workshop is annually attended by 100 participants, coming from all across Europe, USA, even Indonesia, Korea and Africa.

We differ from other music workshops with these important concepts:

  • the categories are led by systematically selected mentors, internationally renowned teachers and active musicians, who come from different European universities and the vibrant New York scene.
  • The intense, one-week educational module on the highest level is being taught from basic, intermediate and advanced levels with a focus on individualism and stimulating a personal voice.
  • The participants have a unique opportunity of playing in international combo ensembles, which are organized before the start of the workshop by analyzing your reference videos. Playing music with musical colleagues from all around the world is a priceless experience for any young musicians.
  • The networking, which happens through relaxed and informal meetings among mentors, students, audiences and journalists is always vibrant and bears creative fruit. Jazzinty is often the beginning of a new musical project, a new ensemble, a new international cooperation or a first-hand look into studying jazz abroad.
  • Jazzinty has a rich, 20-year old tradition of organizing, which is shown in our past educational programs, concert events and our professional infrastructure and technical capacities.

EDUCATIONAL AND NON-EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP PROGRAMMES 

MORNING TUNING
Between 9 and 10 am, the participants have the opportunity to “tune”, to prepare for a whole day’s work. Every morning, one of the mentors presents their own morning routine. It is also a time to exchange ideas and visions, which will enable the participants to have the optimal learning experience.

COMBO ENSEMBLES
All the participants are placed into different combo ensembles, where they will rehearse the repertoire for the Saturday’s participant’s concert. The rehearsals take place in the music school and are assembled after analyzing the participants reference videos. The combo ensembles are led by mentors of the workshop and focus on each mentor’s original music and their personal style. 

LECTURES
The afternoon part of the educational process begins with group lectures about different musical thematics. This year’s lectures will focus on a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the use of electronics in music, labels and musicians rights, composition, arranging, etc.

INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP MENTOR LESSONS
The mentor lessons take place in the afternoon in the music school. Every participant has individual or group lessons with his mentor of choice. The small groups are assembled by the mentor on the first day, focusing on the participants level or style of playing and the capacity of the individual category.

PLAYGROUND - JAM SESSIONS 
The integral part of the education process are the evening jam sessions. The stage is ready and set for playing after 10 pm every night in the Cultural centre. The participants can play and improvise with their colleagues, mentors and other guests.

FESTIVAL CONCERTS 
Accompanying the workshop, the Jazzinty festival takes place at the same time. Novo Mesto becomes the centre of concerts from the most sought-after Slovenian musicians and most creative composers. This year’s festival is focusing on Slovenian vocal jazz.

In 2021, Jazzinty is starting its “artist in residence” program, which brings a world-known musician to the workshop and festival activities. This year’s “artist in residence” is the Austiran composer and guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel
