Creative freedom
The teachers are super supportive and nice. This jazzprogram leaves us freedom to do whatever we want in music, it is not only about traditional swing or jazz. But there is a lot of courses for tradition as well. I am happy that I can express myself in music in whichever way I want to in this school and it's welcomed. But sometimes I think there is too little classes and too much free time. The schedule is very chill.
