  • Identifying and Developing the Personal Voice in Improvised Music Performance
    Identifying and Developing the Personal Voice in Improvised Music Performance Fiona Christina Burnett ORCID: 0000-0001-5445-7784 Thesis and recordings submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Jazz and Improvisation Faculty of Fine Arts and Music The University of Melbourne December 2019 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my father, Eric John Burnett (1926–1984). A scientist, researcher and explorer. Unable to finish school, he left humble beginnings in Manjimup, WA and moved to Perth. At the age of 16, he joined the Australian Army as a radio operator stationed in Papua New Guinea and Thailand during World War II, where he was involved in the release of Japanese prisoners of war. After four and a half years of service, he arrived in Sydney, obtained his Leaving Certificate and completed both a Bachelor and Masters’ degrees in science. In between these two qualifications, he charted new territory, naming Mt Burnett in Antarctica (Latitude 67° 53¢ S, Longitude 62°, 49¢ E) and was awarded the Polar Medal for his work between 1958 and 1959 on this southernmost continent. Education was always my father’s passion. To him, it was a pathway to self- realisation. At 12 years old, I shared my ambition to play the saxophone. I remember his surprise and delight that I had a sense of the pathway ahead. His response was affirming: ‘So, you want to play the Sax!’ At the age of 13, I commenced playing the saxophone; this was a few months after my father had passed away.
