Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A concept of dual music learning -- "learning to improvise" and "learning by ear"--Is recognized as an essential approach to develop musicianship by the Gordon Method. According to the national music standards, these two principles of music learning are listed as the third and sixth standards respectively. However, they still have not been equally taught in traditional or note-oriented music education. Not many middle school music teachers have learned how to teach improvisation, the core of jazz style. Thus, an achievable and well-developed teaching curriculum of jazz improvisation for the teachers is needed. The curriculum presented here is designed for the most common and affordable instrument--the recorder--and integrates the applications of Music Learning Theory, the recorder pedagogy of Jump Right In and the improvisational skills of Developing Musicianship Through Improvisation along with the elements of jazz improvisation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classroom Guide to Jazz Improvisation dispels the misconception that one must be a jazz expert to give students a solid foundation in jazz improvisation. Authors John McNeil and Ryan Nielsen argue that all individuals possess an innate ability to improvise and that, given sufficient exposure and repetition, anyone can improvise in music as successfully as they improvise in life. Drawing on their shared 54 years of teaching experience and extensive work as professional jazz musicians, McNeil and Nielsen offer classroom-tested lesson plans for music educators of all backgrounds, removing the guesswork and mystique along the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Meredith Music Resource). If grading music students in any creative course for credit is a challenge, how much more difficult is it to grade something as personal and nebulous as jazz improvisation? Should students be evaluated on their creativity in soloing or simply on technical skills such as chords and scales? What are the objectives in an improv course, and how can they be graded? The instructors whose responses are presented in this book represent over 700 years of combined experience teaching jazz improvisation over 400 of those years for credit.
Download or read book Children s Guided Participation in Jazz Improvisation written by Guro Gravem Johansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improbasen is a Norwegian private learning centre that offers beginner's instrumental tuition within jazz improvisation for children between the ages of 7 and 15. This book springs out of a two-year ethnographic study of the teaching and learning activity at Improbasen, highlighting features from the micro-interactions within the lessons, the organisation of Improbasen, and its international activity. Music teachers, students, and scholars within music education as well as jazz research will benefit from the perspectives presented in the book, which shows how children systematically acquire tools for improvisation and shared codes for interplay. Through a process of guided participation in jazz culture, even very young children are empowered to take part in a global, creative musical practice with improvisation as an educational core. This book critically engages in current discussions about jazz pedagogy, inclusion and gender equity, beginning instrumental tuition, creativity, and authenticity in childhood.

Book excerpt: THE ULTIMATE JAZZ MEDTHOD is very unique in structure and provides an abundance of information. The structure grew from my extremely successful experience with children who had never played a musical instrument before my class and had never heard of jazz. This jazz method curriculum is a vehicle for developing improvisational skills, theory, history and language that meets the objective to play jazz. It is a self-contained book with 12 sequential lessons for middle and high school students. Each lesson covers an era of jazz beginning with the early period, the blues. The student's edition is self-guided with objectives, goals, theory, melodic patterns, quizzes and tunes with traditional chord progressions that represent each period of jazz. It is well constructed and easy to follow for anyone who is not experienced or an expert in the field of jazz music. A teacher could review and prepare a lesson within ten minutes prior to class. In addition, the history, quiz and recording section of this curriculum is recommended for cross curriculum teaching in history and English classes.

Download or read book Materials and Concepts in Jazz Improvisation written by Kurt Johann Ellenberger and published by Assayer Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials and Concepts in Jazz Improvisation is a comprehensive and concise compilation of the various harmonic and melodic devices used by jazz musicians. It attempts to deal with these materials, (and later, the concepts), in a manner that allows for the greatest possible freedom and flexibility without resorting to mere "licks." The text presents the student and teacher with a conceptual framework that explains "why" as well as "how." It can be used by musicians at any stage of development, but it does assume a rudimentary grounding in music theory. For students and teachers of jazz at any level, it provides a linear perspective on improvisation and harmony from the simplest to the most advanced concepts; it can also function as a reference text for anyone involved in jazz at any level from hobbyist to professional, providing quick and easy descriptions and definitions of the musical materials found in jazz. It can be used for individual study, in classroom settings (jazz theory, jazz improvisation, or jazz pedagogy), in private lessons, or simply as a resource volume.

Download or read book Breaking Down the Cat written by David I. Black and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A training manual or primer on jazz improvisation intended for beginning to advanced student musicians, "Breaking down the Cat" combines silly anecdotal humor with historical tie-ins in a study guide for students in a discussion that goes to the level of a manifesto on American freedom and equality. The historical-constructive method of the book tries to unearth the utilitarian facets of the interaction of the jazz style in history in order to inform the approach to jazz soloing of those learning, with possible "key ingredients" or ways of thinking from the past that may have been lost over time. The book is intended to be helpful to high school students, college students, and adults who want to be serious about learning to play jazz and improvise. In this book Mr. Black tries to include what is missing in other approaches by explaining jazz improvisation in terms of principles or "state of mind." To use the illustration in the title, to "break down the cat" (to give one example) is to flummox, confound, befuddle, and otherwise pardon the cat. But, to befuddle, bemuse and enlighten it, you have to understand or have "transcendent woe," Mr. Black explains. Most people are learning the academic scales, modes, patterns, licks, techniques based approach in universities, classroom settings, or from jazz books. A sensible approach incorporates a reasonable way of living and practicing faith as a path to success. The book offers a way of thinking about pursuing excellence in musical performance in order to help readers and students maintain their sanity while pursuing success in a culturally insane world. The book includes- -practice lists for each instrument -an essential scale list - some jazz licks from great players - a unique "singing practice" strategy - insights into jazz as a separate theory construct from Western Traditional/Classical with shared materials -some technique exercises -thought-provoking appendices Chapters in the book include: "The Right Attitude for Study," "The Right Way to Practice," "What to Study," "What to Practice," "How to Perform Well at Jazz Improvisation," "Capturing the Ethos of the Music," and "Pursuing Success and How to Live." (and more...).
