  Activities

Thailand Jazz Competition

Jazz Studies Program has been immensely involved with many jazz activities both  domestic and international level. We initiated a highly acclaimed “Thailand Jazz Competition” (TJC) As the first of its kind in the country, the contest was overwhelmingly participated by jazz musicians as well as audiences nationwide.

Silpakorn University Jazz Camp

Jazz camp immerses participants in a fun, focused, and supportive environment. The program offers instrumentalists and vocalists an opportunity to play with motivated peers and study with a prestigious faculty of professional musicians and educators. Our highly-structured curriculum is tailored to the needs and level of each individual student. Improving your improvisation is our goal, and in every class and rehearsal, faculty will help you to hear the sounds of jazz, understand what those sounds are, and play them when you want to.

Workshop and Masterclass

By inviting top international artists, we feel that it is essential to expose our students to live jazz music performances, masterclasses and workshops in order to help them improve their playing skills. Our hope is that they will be given the opportunity to advance their knowledge and professional skill through a series of workshops and live performances.
