Abstract:
The article presents Joan Chamorro (born in 1962), a Spanish jazz musician and music teacher who created the Sant Andreu Jazz Band project. The group with 15 years of tradition includes 20 members of various ages (from 8 to 20 years of age). ; Joan Chamorro`s teaching concept is based on intensive listening to jazz music and the assumption that during the first years of education to play an instrument or several instruments, the study of notation is deliberately omitted. After presenting an outline of the project creator`s biography, the author discusses the current methods of teaching music and improvisation and refers to examples of other characters from the 20th century who also promoted a teaching concept similar to Joan Chamorro.
