Application of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) in studying the intercultural experience of learning jazz improvisation

Jazz studies and tertiary education in music are a “new culture” to Southeast Asian countries, however common they may appear to be. Low readiness for learning, knowledge and skill gap, lack of appreciation of subject learned, low self esteem, and unrefined pedagogy have been commonplace in music co...
