The Master Classes are aimed at professional and emerging musicians.
International artists performing at the Festival, lead these master
classes which are held over two days. The classes are
instrument-specific, as well as tailor made to suit required needs of
our local talent.
The Master Classes are a pride of the CTIJF as they bring much needed
information on techniques, styles and international trends to local
musicians.
In 2008 the CTIJF were approached by the Juilliard School in New York,
one of the world's most prestigious performing arts conservatories.
Using internet technology, a dual Master Class was held between students
at the Juilliard School and students in Cape Town.
The Master Classes bring substantial content and allow South Africa’s
talented musicians to interact with some of the world’s best Jazz
musicians – a once in a lifetime experience…
