Music students jazz it up

Students of the Fiji National University were also part of the International Jazz and Blues Festival which was held at Port Denarau in Nadi last week.

The 47 students who supported the Déjà Vu band were happy to be part of the festival since most of them studied music at the university.

Fiji National University head of department for music Waqavou Utonivesi said it was a great opportunity for the students to upgrade their learning experience in the field of music.

2012 Fiji International Jazz & Blues FestivalShe said the students participated with the band throughout the festival and so them to be around some recognised jazz and blues artists in the world was a good opportunity.

“It gives the students great exposure to the music industry,” she said.

“Learning it in class is not the same as them actually coming out and actually experiencing something like this,” she said.

“We, at the university, show our support for the students by introducing them to such events where they can upgrade their knowledge in the industry.

“During the night the students were performing with the Déjà Vu band and during the day they conducted music workshops at the Nadi campus.

“So they have something interesting to do during the day and later support the band in performing throughout the festival.”

Ms Utonivesi said the students were excited especially since jazz and blues was something that they only learned about in school.

The students also got the chance to hand out questionnaires to artists who were performing during the festival and get feedbacks on how jazz and blues first started and how it has evolved since then.

Testimonials from our clients

“Legendary and typically Fijian” – Indigo II

















Thank you for a wonderful stay at Denarau Marina - it was a luxury to have unlimited freshwater to wash down the boat and to have access to excellent laundry and shower facilities. But the friendly helpful reception was legendary and typically Fijian. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Fiji and are very grateful for the sensible strategy adopted by the Fijian government to facilitate the Blue Lanes system.
Cheers
Liz

Jake Reid, Captain, SY Thalia

Nigel and his friendly team at Denarau Marina made myself and the crew of Thalia very welcome. They went out of their way to provide additional services that you would not usually expect from a marina. I highly recommend Denarau marina to any super yachts visiting the Pacific, it was one of the best marinas we have stayed in on our world cruise.
