In episode 51 of A Pinch of SALT, Darren and Carys talk to Chris Hall, SALT’s Academic Development Manager, about his latest publication, ‘So what? Can we learn anything about university teaching from jazz?’. Through examining the four building blocks of jazz music (improvisation, mistakes, collaboration and leadership), the author provides a compelling insight into how the music genre has a lot to teach us about university teaching.
