MATSUE-NEW ORLEANS TOMODACHI EXCHANGE Matsue Exchange Participants Matsue-New Orleans TOMODACHI EXCHANGE Ms. Yuka Ikejiri I love the music of New Orleans. I'm very happy to create more opportunities in Matsue to listen to New Orleans music and to spread awareness about our Friendship City relationship. I'd like to work towards attracting more visitors to Matsue based on this relationship. Mr. Hitoshi Kashiwai I like talking about travels and cuisine, and being physically active, so I like taking a proactive role in conversation. I cannot speak much English, but I hope things will go well. Mr. Hiroyuki Katayama Throughout college and graduate school, I played bass in a jazz band. Although I am not currently involved in band activities, I still love listening to jazz, funk, soul, and other kinds of African-American music. Ever since I was a student I felt that I wanted to have ties all around the world, and during graduate school I took part in a JICA internship program, during which time I lived in Bolivia for half a year. In addition, I have had shorter stays in places like China, Cambodia, and Morocco. Through my work, I have planned and reviewed projects geared towards interregional exchange with people who live in all areas of Shimane. I think this experience will be a great strength in planning and overseeing exchange activities following this program. Matsue-New Orleans TOMODACHI EXCHANGE Ms. Mika Miyamoto My specialty is playing the saxophone. I'd be very pleased to interact with the locals by performing together. I am cheerful and personable, so I hope to make a lot of friends in New Orleans.

A Cappella Ear Training: Bringing Theory and Aural Skills Together Via
australian asociety s for mumsic A cappella ear training: Bringing e ducation incorporatede theory and aural skills together via singing in a jazz program environment Helen Russell University of Southern Queensland Abstract As jazz study has become an established branch of the tertiary music landscape, disquiet has arisen in some quarters about the “mechanical” way in which improvisation is taught. This study examined the ways in which singing in an a cappella harmony group affected the improvisational abilities of tertiary level jazz students. Over three semesters, students participated in a method developed by the author known as “A cappella Ear Training” (AET). AET was used to test the author’s assumption that learning to sing in harmony with other voices and without recourse to the mechanics of any instrument would improve the ability of the students to internalize the theoretical information with which they were being presented in all areas of the course. The research used a qualitative approach, and drew on data generated through participant-observation and interview techniques. Students were observed throughout the course, with the author making field notes on the practice of the class session. Further interviews with some participants were conducted to ascertain the students’ perception of the AET approach. Analysis of the data confirmed that AET enabled the development of a theoretically informed practice whereby the participating students came to recognize concepts in practice and performance. Keywords: A cappella, ear training, harmony, improvisation, jazz, musicianship, theory. Background This paper seeks to position the A cappella Ear Training (AET) method as a rejection of the As an instrumentalist I have always mediated dualism of ear or eye, and suggests that the two between the notes on the page and my instrument are mutually supportive.

University of Alberta 'Indo-Jazz Fusion'
University of Alberta ‘Indo-Jazz Fusion’: Jazz and Karnatak Music in Contact by Tanya Kalmanovitch A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music Edmonton, Alberta Spring 2008 Abstract An inherently intercultural music, jazz presents a unique entry in the catalog of interactions between Indian music and the west. This dissertation is situated in a line of recent accounts that reappraise the period of Western colonial hegemony in India by tracing a complex continuum of historical and musical events over three centuries. It charts the historical routes by which jazz and Karnatak music have come into contact in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, both in India and abroad. It presents a detailed account of the history of jazz in India, and Indian music in jazz, and examines jazz’s contact with Karnatak music in three contexts—jazz pedagogy, intercultural collaboration, and the Indian diaspora in the United States—illustrating the musical, social and performative spaces in which these musics come into contact, and describing the specific musical and social practices, and political and social institutions that support this activity. Case studies in this dissertation include an educational exchange between the Jazz and Contemporary Music Program of the New School University (New York, NY) and the Brhaddhvani Research and Training Centre for Musics of the World (Chennai, India), directed by the author in December 2003 – January 2004; a 2001 collaboration between Irish jazz/traditional band Khanda and the Karnataka College of Percussion; and analyses of recent recordings by pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa and drummer Ravish Momin.
