How do you know Jazz & Pop is right for you?

Of course, you’ve already built up a very solid foundation on your instrument or as a singer. But you’d like to continue developing your skills – both in breadth and depth.

  • You’re keen to develop your talents as a performer, composer, teacher and/or producer
  • You’re open to different musical styles and genres
  • You’re good at self-study but also enjoy learning from and with others
  • You enjoy playing together with other musicians
  • You have an enterprising attitude
  • You’re not afraid to try things you’ve never done before

Why study Jazz & Pop at HKU?

Ambition as a starting point
For us, ambition is the starting point for every musician’s development. Ambition to push yourself further, to discover new sides of yourself as a person and as a musician. We believe that an open attitude and a broad perspective are essential in this regard. From the very start of your course, you’ll work on building a broad musical foundation, so that later on you’ll be better able to decide which direction suits you best. Throughout this process, you’ll always keep the bigger picture in mind. You’ll be open to the knowledge and skills of other musicians – lecturers and professionals alike – and able to absorb that knowledge and those skills and pass them on in turn.

From a broad foundation to your own study path
During the first two years of your course, we’ll build your foundations; both jazz and pop are covered in their full breadth. From the third year onwards, there’s increasingly more scope for you to pursue your own interests. We’ll look at your own musical ideas and how you wish to shape your own development. From the third year onwards, the curriculum becomes increasingly flexible and can be tailored to your own needs. You’ll also look beyond the boundaries of your own discipline; during project weeks, for example, you’ll play alongside students from Classical Music and Musician 3.0, or with students from one of HKU’s other schools.

A passionate team of lecturers
Our lecturers have made their mark in the professional world and are regularly seen on stages across the Netherlands and internationally. They will support your development as a person and as a musician. They provide personalised guidance and take the time to understand who you are: what your ambitions are, what inspires you, and where you see yourself in a few years’ time.

A welcoming learning environment
One final important reason to study with us: the open and welcoming atmosphere. HKU Utrechts Conservatorium is a relatively small institution; communication lines are short and people know and help one another. We are housed in two beautiful historic buildings in the heart of Utrecht, with a view of the Dom.

Jazz & PopWhat will you learn
Jazz & Pop

What will you learn

Of course, during your studies you will learn to master your instrument to the highest standard. Technical skill and mastery of the instrument are central to the study, particularly in the early years. This forms the starting point for your further development. We also teach you to reflect on what you want to achieve with your instrument and what you want to inspire in the minds and hearts of others. During your studies, you’ll gain stage experience and perform alongside musicians from different backgrounds and across various disciplines. You’ll also develop your creative skills; you’ll learn to improvise, arrange and compose.

During your studies, we aim to provide you with a broad musical foundation. We’ll introduce you to the history of jazz and pop music, and show you how genres influence one another, giving rise to new musical styles. We challenge you to define your own position within this landscape: what kind of music would you like to contribute? From what perspective and in what context will you do so? And what happens when you change your perspective; does your music sound different then? Over the course of your studies, you will explore these questions. In this way, you will determine how you wish to develop as a musician and chart your own course.

Project weeks

Several times a year, you’ll take part in a project. During these project weeks, you’ll spend a week delving into a single topic, such as an opera or an orchestral project. This helps you become familiar with and gain an understanding of the professional field. During a project week, you’ll work closely together and build up to a final presentation. This often takes the form of a concert. Examples include the international project week House of Europe, Close Harmony, Big Band and Large Ensemble.

Course structure

Building on a broad foundation

In the first year, you’ll lay the foundations for your future development. We’ll introduce you to the full spectrum of jazz and pop music so that you know what options are available to you later on. You’ll work on your instrumental development and receive theory and piano lessons. You’ll learn to collaborate and play with other musicians and be introduced to new musical disciplines and contexts. All of this is designed to give you a solid foundation for your future development.

Some of the modules in the first year:
  • Band skills: you’ll be placed in a band with a number of fellow students, start working on your own repertoire and work towards a concert.
  • Music software: you’ll learn the basics of making a good home recording.
  • Music history: discover the history of jazz and pop music from its beginnings to the present day.

Broadening and deepening

In the second year, you’ll continue to build on the foundations of your development. You’ll do this with increasing breadth and depth. We’ll help you hone your ability to convey your craft as a musician to an audience. Mastering your instrument is one thing; but how do you ensure that your music truly connects with an audience? You’ll learn that you bring added value to the industry not only as a performing musician, but also, for example, as a teacher, artistic director and entrepreneur.

New in the second year:

  • You’ll take an education module and develop your skills as a teaching musician.
  • Band skills will focus much more on a specific genre, such as funk, songwriting, jazz or improvisation.

Developing your profile

From the third year onwards, you will continue to develop your own profile as a musician. Finding your own voice becomes increasingly important. Naturally, you will continue to build a broad musical foundation, but at the same time we will challenge you to explore how you wish to develop during the final two years of your degree. New modules include arranging and composition. You will also begin preparing for your final-year project.

Graduating

The final year of your course is all about graduation. You’ll graduate with a final recital in which you’ll put your artistic stamp on the performance and highlight your profile as a musician. In your final year, your study programme offers even more flexibility, enabling you to further refine your own profile as a musician.

New in the fourth year:

  • Creating music: in this module, you explore your role as a creator; what kind of music do you want to contribute, and what do you hope to achieve through it?
  • You complete the Band Skills module with an individual project.

    Take a look at the complete list of lecturers at HKU Utrechts Conservatorium

  • Lydia van Dam studied vocals at the conservatory in Hilversum with Jerry van Rooyen, Marjorie Barnes, Greetje Kauffeld, Deborah Brown and Gé Titulear. She performed home and abroad with renowned orchestras, including the WDR Big Band conducted by Jerry van Rooyen, the Skymasters and the Metropole orchestra. She also toured theaters in the Netherlands with her own band, the Lydia van Dam Group and the band Zijlstra, and made several CDs with these bands.

  • George Dumitriu is a multi-instrumentalist and composer. He plays the viola, violin, guitar and electronics and is internationally active in jazz, improvised music, contemporary classical and music theatre. Dumitriu is the musical director of Monk on Viola and DUMItRIO. He also collaborated with Sanem Kalfa Duo, Black Sea Songs, Eve Rissers L'ensemble Ensemble, Kaja Draksler Octet, Alex Simu Quintet, North Sea String Quartet, Blink Quartet and Dutch National Opera & Ballet.

  • Rembrandt Frerichs is a pianist with a broad view. He knows the American jazz repertoire, but is willing to walk the beaten track. He draws on European classical music and his passion for Arabic music, fueled by his two-year stay in Egypt.

    Rembrandt is recognized as an 'adventurer on the keys' (Trouw) and 'master on his instrument' (de Volkskrant). In his music you can hear the energy of American jazz and the lyricism of Eastern music, just like the spaciousness of the chamber music of Debussy and Ravel. He 'plays future music where boundaries disappear from the ear' (Trouw)

  • Celia García-García is a classical pianist, praised for her versatility and virtuosity. She’s a versatile and much sought-after musician with her regular ensembles Duo IJlstra-García, Frommermann and Inside Out, and in very diverse ad hoc line-ups. She regularly performs with Dutch symphony orchestras and is an ambassador for the celesta, a relatively unknown instrument.

  • Guitarist Daan Kleijn moved to New York City at the age of 22. After earning his master's degree from the prestigious New York University, Kleijn was active in the vibrant jazz scene for over a decade. He played in the city's many famous jazz clubs, such as the Blue Note, Small Jazz club and Birdland. He also played with renowned artists such as Glenn Zaleski, Ben Paterson, Billy Drummond, Peter Bernstein, Sam Yahel, Rich Perry and Mike Rodriquez. Since two years Daan has been living in the Netherlands again and is busy working on his third album, together with Pablo Menares and Caleb Curtis. Its release is scheduled for 2024.

  • Tim Langedijk (1984) is a guitar and ensemble teacher. He graduated cum laude from the Rotterdam Conservatory. With his trio, the Tim Langedijk Trio, he recorded six albums. He made concerts and recordings with the Metropole Orchestra, Gabriela Kozyra Quartet, Paradox Jazz Orchestra, Jasper van ’t Hof and Karel Boehlee, among others. He is a much sought-after studio guitarist in the Netherlands and works as an arranger for various productions.

  • Raised in Thailand and Uganda, Mark Lotz has a deep-rooted curiosity for musical discovery. Always seeking dynamic collaborations with unique musical voices, he has contributed as a soloist, flutist and composer to 73 albums recorded in Cuba, Turkey, Moldova, Senegal, India and Poland, among others.

    His work as an improviser and composer is characterized by a unique language in which aesthetics and techniques from contemporary classical and non-Western music merge with the energy of jazz. This drive for innovation is also reflected in collaborations that encompass theater, visual art, film, dance and performance art.

    Lotz gives clinics and master classes worldwide, from Japan to Turkey, and teaches at the conservatories of Rotterdam and Utrecht. He has worked with Chris Potter, Don Byron, Miguel 'Anga' Diaz, Ernst Reijseger or Najma Akthar, among others.

    "Mark Lotz is more than just a big voice in the European jazz scene. He is at the forefront of jazz, classical, and World Music and is obviously enjoying every minute of it!" — Jazz, USA

  • Annemarie Maas is the textbook example of a hybrid artist, as evidenced by an impressive track record in interdisciplinary arts. She calls herself a vocal musician, she sings acting and acts singing and sees composing as writing and vice versa. She has been a (core) teacher of singing at HKU Utrecht Conservatory since 1990, in various roles and at various courses. Maas is a much sought-after CRP and study coach. A centipede with two feet on the ground.

  • Double bassist Tobias Nijboer is a versatile sideman in the Dutch music scene. He plays in various formations including Fuse, Daan Kleijn Trio, Henk Kraaijeveld Band and the Dutch Concert Big Band. He studied and lived in Groningen, Barcelona, New York, and Amsterdam, has played several international tours, recorded more than 20 CDs and has been the house band with Fuse for 7 years on the TV program Podium Witteman. This makes Tobias a versatile musician who feels at home in different genres.

  • Harjo Pasveer started his musical career as a pop and jazz drummer and studied school music (ODM) at Rotterdam Conservatory (now Codarts Rotterdam). During that study, he discovered vocal classical music and decided to study Classical Singing as well. After graduating, he worked in various disciplines: first in children's theatre and then as a vocal and choral conductor. In 1991, he was asked to be a singing teacher at the Kurt Thomas Course. Since 1997, he has been principal study teacher in voice at Codarts' pop and jazz department. Since 2010, in the same capacity, he has been attached to HKU Utrechts Conservatorium. As a vocal coach, Harjo has worked with well-known vocalists such as Joshua Nolet (Chef's Special), Alain Clark, Caro Emerald, Giovanca, VanVelzen, Stephanie Struijk and George Kooymans. As a chorister, he has collaborated on projects by The Amsterdam Baroque Choir conducted by Ton Koopman. With this choir, he toured Europe, the USA and Japan.

  • As a drummer, Lean Robbemont moves between the worlds of pop and jazz. It is precisely the connection between these different musical worlds that inspires him. As a live and studio musician, he has worked in recent years with artists including Alain Clark, Waylon, De Toppers, New Cool Collective, Candy Dulfer and The Auratones. Lean brings this broad practical experience to his classes at HKU.

    Based on his own ‘Storydrumming’ philosophy, it’s about more than just technique. It’s about telling a story, developing your own musical voice, and learning to listen to and respond to the music and the people around you.
    🎶 What does your own voice sound like as a drummer?
    🎶 How do you develop your own musical identity?

    With Lean, our students set out to find the answers to these questions and to discover new connections between different musical worlds.

  • Bird winner Toon Roos is considered by many to be one of the best soprano and tenor saxophonists in Europe and is praised for his lyrical and intuitive way of playing. He has performed and recorded with many jazz greats including Joe Zawinul, Peter Erskine, Alex Acuna, John Scofield, Toots Thielemans, and Ivan Lins.

  • Erik Rutjes is core teacher guitar and session guitarist. Rutjes played with Gino Vannelli, Wende Snijders, Izaline Calister, Leoni Jansen, Do, Hands Vermeulen, The Royal Dutch Scam and others. As a session guitarist he worked for artists, orchestras, film and theater productions and various studios: Fay Claassen, Mathilde Santing, Metropole Orkest, Night of the Proms, Big Orange and others. Erik also works as a core teacher, study coach and ensemble coach for HKU Utrecht Conservatory.

  • Koen Smits is a trumpet player, organizer and mix engineer. As a trumpet player he has made albums and given concerts with Mudita (Edison 2019), Sjoerd van Eijck's OAK, The Paradox Jazz Ochestra, the Hornaments and the Red Light Jazz Society, among others. Koen has worked with, among others, the Metropole Orchestra, the Danish Radio Bigband and various T.V. productions. As an organizer he is involved in Make It – jazz festival Tilburg and as a teacher at the HKU Utrecht Conservatory.

Jazz & PopWhat will you make
Jazz & Pop

What will you make on the course

During the course, you will learn not only to make a name for yourself as a performer, but also as a creator. You will learn to arrange and compose, and, as a band leader, you will create your own music. You will also work as a performer/creator with various organisations in the industry. For example, you will seek to collaborate with artists, studios, theatre companies, clubs and theatres. During the ensemble weeks, you will present your own work, as you will in big band and close-harmony projects. For four weeks a year, you will create your own work in interdisciplinary projects, including in collaboration with students from other schools. Through international collaborations, you will create your own work with students from other degree programmes across Europe.

In your final year, you will lead your own artistic project, through which you will also organise a small series of concerts. In your final performance, you will demonstrate your skills as a professional and enterprising performer and creator, in a venue of your choice, with your own production.

Off to work!

Upon completion of the programme, you will be awarded a Bachelor of Music degree. You can use the abbreviation ‘BMus’ after your name. What can you do with this degree? Plenty! As an outstanding performer and creator, you will carve out your own niche in the industry. You will be a specialist on your instrument and could become, for example, a performer, producer, studio musician, arranger, theatre musician or composer. Have you always wanted to teach? Or work for concert and festival organisations? That’s possible too. The industry is constantly evolving, meaning new opportunities are always opening up for you.

Pre-selection Guitar, Piano and Voice

For Guitar, Piano and Voice a pre-selection will take place first. The pre-selection consists of an questionnaire and a short film.
  • After you apply via Studielink, you will receive the questionnaire within a few working days.

  • Make a short film clip (maximum 7 minutes) in which you show as much of your playing and musical passion as possible. You can post your film on YouTube or Vimeo and upload the links afterwards.
    When recording your clip, please take account of the following:

    • Come to the point as quickly as possible;

    • no long solos by fellow musicians: it's all about your playing;

    • do not play existing, complicated arrangements, as they show little of yourself;

    • show off your strengths: own pieces, improvisation or anything that demonstrates your musicality and creativity;

    • You can record a film clip with a live band or a (qualitatively sufficient) backing track;

    • think about contrasting styles and thythms.


    On the basis of the entries, the admissions committee (consisting of course teachers) will decide who is invited to the live audition.

  • Make a short film clip (maximum 7 minutes) in which you demonstrate the following:

    • A version of the jazz standard 'Beautiful Love' that shows which voicings you've already mastered.

    • A groove piece.

    • A swing piece, in which we hear you improvise.

    • A modern piece of your choice or a ballad.

    • A classical piece, such as a Bach invention.


    When recording your clip, please take account of the following:

    • Get 'to the point' as quickly as possible;

    • no long solos by fellow musicians: it's all about your playing!

    • do not play existing, complicated arrangements: these show relatively little of your improvisational skills, while that is what we want to hear;

    • do not play existing, complicated arrangements; these show relatively little of your improvisational skills, while that is what we wnat to hear;

    • show how broad you are: besides playing standards, you can improvise on a piece of your own, show your musicality and creativity;

    • you may either record a video with a live band or a (qualitative) backing track, such as an Aebersold play-along track;

    • make sure we can see your hands well on the video.

    Based on the submissions, the admissions committee (consisting of teachers from the programme) will decide who will be invited to the live audition.

  • Make a short film clip (maximum 7 minutes) in which you show as much of your playing and musical passion as possible. One of the pieces you play will be an assignment. You will find a link to the backing track (in different keys) and the lyrics in the instructions. The other song you play is your choice. We would appreciate it if that is in a completely different style.

    On the basis of the entries, the admissions committee (consisting of course teachers) will decide who is invited to the live audition.

Entrance Examination

The entrance exam consists of three parts:
  • After you apply via Studielink, you will receive the questionnaire within a few working days.

  • The theoretical exam consists of a number of questions about scales, transposition, triads and chord symbols. During the exam we test whether you understand the system behind musical notation and can handle it smoothly. For example, you should know the circle of fifths well, because many scales and chords come from it.

    During the practical exam we test your feeling for a melody note's place, knowledge of where the root tone is and if you can recognize a leading note. Your voice control is also important. You have to be able to sing melodies, separate an interval and the notes of a triad.

    Want to practice in advance? Then take the online level test: nivotest.hku.nl. Before you start, read the explanation of the test. The nivotest covers all the topics you may encounter during your theoretical exam. After completing the test, you can immediately see the correct answers.

  • You have failed the exam

Study Costs

HKU has different rates for tuition fees. Depending on your situation, you pay either statutory or institutional tuition fees.

Calculate your tuition fee
  • The Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science anually sets the statutory tuition fees. The statutory rate applies only to students from the Netherlands, another country in the European Economic Area (EEA*), Switzerland or Suriname, and students who meet the nationality criteria of the Dutch Student Finance Act (WSF 2000).

    (* EEA countries comprise the European Union, Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein).

  • HKU sets the institutional tuition fees on the basis of the statutory rate. Students who have already completed a course in higher education and students from outside the EEA usually pay a higher rate.

    Partly as a result of legal changes, the rate for institutional tuition fees for non-EEA students may rise considerably in the coming years.

  • Read the information on the study costs page.
