Download or read book The Art of Is written by Stephen Nachmanovitch, PhD and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MASTERFUL BOOK ABOUT BREATHING LIFE INTO ART AND ART INTO LIFE "Stephen Nachmanovitch's The Art of Is is a philosophical meditation on living, living fully, living in the present. To the author, an improvisation is a co-creation that arises out of listening and mutual attentiveness, out of a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity. It is a product of the nervous system, bigger than the brain and bigger than the body; it is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, unprecedented and unrepeatable. Drawing from the wisdom of the ages, The Art of Is not only gives the reader an inside view of the states of mind that give rise to improvisation, it is also a celebration of the power of the human spirit, which — when exercised with love, immense patience, and discipline — is an antidote to hate." — Yo-Yo Ma, cellist

Download or read book The Integration of Improvisation in the Curriculum of String Orchestral Music Education for K 12 written by Felipe Tobar Blanco and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Music improvisation has been part of many forms of traditional and folk music since the beginning of human civilization. However, it seems that improvisation has been left out of the curriculum for traditional western music education, especially in the last 100 years. By pairing the instrumental abilities that students are learning within a specific curriculum with abilities in improvisation, students will develop a deeper perspective of music as a whole. Strengthening skills in improvisation will help students to develop a set of skills that is necessary for any musician in the twenty-first century. Through the experience of integrating music improvisation skills to a traditional curriculum, this thesis explores the tradition of improvising, the approach of some of the masters of classical music to improvisation, other experiences using improvisation in the classroom, and the available material created to implement creativity to the world of classic string instruments. This thesis also takes a look at the preliminary studies on how the art of improvising music appears to change some parts of the brain related to creativity and self expression, the possibility of learning new abilities through the study of improvisation, the challenges of implementing improvisation skills in a classroom setting, the use of technology as a tool for teaching and practicing improvisation and overall the benefits of incorporating improvisation as a necessary and vital part of learning music. The main focus of this thesis will be on how to incorporate all these different skills including improvisation, diverse repertoire and modern techniques related to music (basic knowledge of acoustics and use of technology) into a more traditional curriculum, based on the experience of different music schools, educators and the experience of teaching these skills to young students."--
