Composition / Arranging
This faculty's programme centres on writing music for both small and large ensembles. A well-equipped studio helps students prepare themselves for a diversity of situations they may encounter as professional musicians. The size of the Jazz Department, in terms of numbers of students, offers ample opportunity for students? works to be performed in almost any instrumental or vocal setting.
Principal teachers are Jurre Haanstra and Henk Huizinga. Over the past years guest teachers have included Michael Abene, Jim McNeely, Jerry van Rooijen, Bob Mintzer and Peter Herbolzheimer.
