Loop the Loop Worksheets ‘LOOP THE LOOP’ Music Educational Resource by N. Peterson Welcome to the “House” Sydney Opera House is one of the indisputable masterpieces of human creativity and has long been a place for learning and sharing knowledge. Tubowgule: where the knowledge waters meet The history of performance at Bennelong Point stretches back thousands of years. The land on which Sydney Opera House stands was known to its traditional custodians, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, as Tubowgule, meaning "where the knowledge waters meet." A stream carried fresh water down from what is now Pitt Street to the cove near Tubowgule, a rock promontory that at high tide became an island. The mixing of fresh and salt waters formed a perfect fishing ground. Middens of shells were a testament to Tubowgule's long history as a place where the Gadigal gathered, feasted, sung, danced and told stories. Did You Know…? 1. More than 8.2 million people visit the Opera House every year. 2. Sydney Opera House is cooled using seawater taken directly from the harbour. The system circulates cold water from the harbour through 35 kilometres of pipes to power both the heating and air conditioning in the building. 3. Sydney Opera House was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20th October, 1973. She has since visited four times, most recently in 2006. 4. The Sydney Opera House Digital Creative Learning program allows students from all over the world to access the Sydney Opera House and learn about its history and culture, while also developing skills in literacy, drama and creative writing. Schools in remote locations, interstate or even overseas are able to connect with the Opera House from the comfort of their own classroom, and it’s completely free. Introduction These Creative Learning Resources have been prepared to help you get the most out of Loop the Loop. These resources have been collated to help prepare your students unpack the performance and gain the most from their attendance at the production. You should use and adapt these Resources to suit the student age and stage of your class and the curriculum foci and outcomes used in your school. These Resources are written as a creative document for you to bring to life. If you have questions about exercises or provocations please feel free to make contact to talk it through. We are always open to feedback, comments and working with you to assist and learn from you. Contact details are on the back page. Some websites are suggested throughout this resource. It is recommended that you first visit the sites and assess the suitability of the content for your particular school environment before setting the activities based on these. Sydney Opera House has a bank of Creative Learning Resources for you to access and use. Please have a look around our website for other resources and activities that could support your classroom learning program. Acknowledgements Grateful thanks are extended to the artists and Onyx Productions Visiting the Sydney Opera House Arrive early Please ensure that your group arrives at the venue 25 minutes prior to the performance start time. Latecomers may only be admitted to a performance during a suitable break, and in some cases may be excluded. Call Front of House on 02 9250 7134 to notify us if you are running late. School bags The safety and security of our guests is paramount to the Opera House. We require all items larger than the dimensions of a standard A4 piece of paper to be cloaked. As our cloakrooms have limited space, we request that teachers and students do not bring large bags/backpacks with them to the performance. Food and beverage Food outlets are located on the lower level of the concourse. Please note food and drink are permitted inside the foyers, but not in the venues. Getting here Sydney Opera House is a 10-minute walk from Circular Quay, the closest station for public transport via train, bus and ferry. To view timetable information and ensure your public transport needs can be met, please contact Transport NSW on 131500 or transportnsw.info Coach parking Buses and coaches cannot park onsite at Sydney Opera House. Large buses must disembark passengers on Macquarie Street. Please contact City of Sydney to confirm bus and coach set down areas. We recommend allowing an additional 10 minutes for walking from Macquarie Street. At the Theatre We’d like to welcome you to the experience of attending a live performance – while we know you get all the etiquette stuff, here’s a reminder of some simple information you can pass on to your students. 1. We ask you to get involved in the performances by applauding and laughing at appropriate moments. If you have a question – ask your teacher at the interval/end of the show or one of the cast, if you have a chance for a Question & Answer session. 2. Food and drink is not permitted in the theatre 3. Live theatre is different to TV – the actors on stage can hear and see you and there are other members of the audience to think about. If you need to leave the performance for any reason, please ensure this is done quickly and quietly at an appropriate break in the action. 4. Switching your phone to silent isn’t the only thing to do. Please ensure that you switch off your mobile phone and leave it in your bag before the performance begins. The glow of an iPhone screen is obvious to others and is very distracting! The Creative Learning Journey BEFORE YOU ARRIVE Begin your Creative Learning Journey Have your students think about the themes of the performance with information and activities in these Creative Learning Teachers Resources. Preparing for your Visit Prepare students for your visit with a Digital Tour of the Sydney Opera House prior to your theatre excursion. Introduce the story of this place so that your students begin engaging before they arrive. Free for all Australian Schools and offered throughout the year. ON THE DAY Explore the House Book a Guided Tour, for before or after your performance, and explore the venues and spaces of the iconic Sydney Opera House with one of our expert tour guides. Question the Creatives Enjoy the event and be ready to get involved in the Post-Show Q&A session after our schools performances with our education specialists, performers, directors and producers. Delve Deeper For some events, students are able to participate in Artist Workshops with the artists and the creatives at the Opera House. Check out each performance to see what is available – but space is limited! Make a Day of It Don’t forget we are located close to a range of cultural institutions. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Sydney, State Library of NSW, Art Gallery of NSW and Australian Museum offer exhibitions, workshops and more for schools, all within walking distance of the Sydney Opera House. BACK IN THE CLASSROOM Continue the Creative Exploration Bring the creatives to you and participate in one of Digital Workshops or Digital Author Talks to further extend the learning journey of your students. Free for all Australian Schools and offered throughout the year. Listen and Watch Use our digital content pieces on our social media channels in your classroom. Our podcast The Kids Life, Sweet Skills ‘How To’ videos, and Would you rather be…? on YouTube gives you more insight into world of the Sydney Opera House and the exciting things that happen here. Performance Description and Synopsis Prepared to be impressed when master musician Gene Peterson goes head to head with multi-instrumentalist Adam Page in this phenomenal musical showdown. Set in a boxing ring, complete with blue & red corners, each artist attempts to out-play the other with their multitude of musical abilities, continually recording each layer of music live into a loop pedal. Sometimes quirky, often hilarious and at times unbelievable, don't miss the opportunity to see two of Australia's finest musicians go head to head in this outrageous concert for the whole family!

    Excerpts from . DEVELOPING MUSICIANSHIP THROUGH IMPROVISATION Simple Gifts Christopher D. Azzara Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester Richard F. Grunow Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester GIA Publications, Inc. Chicago Developing Musicianship through Improvisation Christopher D. Azzara Richard F. Grunow Layout and music engravings: Paul Burrucker Copy editor: Elizabeth Bentley Copyright © 2006 GIA Publications, Inc. 7404 S. Mason Ave., Chicago 60638 www.giamusic.com All rights reserved. Printed in the United States of America 2 INTRODUCTION Do you know someone who can improvise? Chances are he or she knows a lot of tunes and learns new tunes with relative ease. It seems that improvisers can sing and/or play anything that comes to mind. Improvisers interact in the moment to create one-of-a-kind experiences. Many accomplished musicians do not think of themselves as improvisers, yet if they have something unique to say in their performance, they are improvisers. In that sense, we are all improvisers, and it is important to have opportunities throughout our lives to express ourselves creatively through improvisation. Improvisation in music is the spontaneous expression of meaningful musical ideas—it is analogous to conversation in language. As presented here, key elements of improvisation include personalization, spontaneity, anticipation, prediction, interaction, and being in the moment. Interestingly, we are born improvisers, as evidenced by our behavior in early childhood. This state of mind is clearly demonstrated in children’s play. When not encouraged to improvise as a part of our formal music education, the very thought of improvisation invokes fear. If we let go of that fear, we find that we are improvisers.

  • Rhythm Section Roles (In Standard Swing)
    Rhythm Section Roles (in standard swing) ● Bass: Provide a solid metric and harmonic foundation by creating a quarter-note based melody with the roots and/or fifths of each chord occurring on downbeats and chord changes. ○ Ideal sound is plucked upright bass. Proper attack of note in right hand, clarity of center and sustain in left hand are key. ○ Create walking bassline by starting on root of chord and approaching subsequent roots or fifths by V-I resolution, half-step, or logical diatonic/chromatic motion or sequence. ● Drums: Assist bass in providing solid metric foundation, provide subdivision and stylistic emphasis, and drive dynamics and phrasing. ○ Right Hand: Primary responsibility is ride cymbal playing ride pattern. ■ Fundamental of ride pattern is quarter-notes with eighth-note subdivision added as desired, needed, and appropriate for dictation of swing. ■ Think of playing approximately ½” through cymbal to provide clarity and emphasis. ○ Left Foot: Play hi-hat on beats 2 and 4 for emphasis of fundamental syncopation. ■ Keep heel off the ground. ■ Cymbals should be approx. 1” apart. ○ Left Hand: Free to provide stylistic emphasis. ■ Cross-stick hits on beat 4 with bead of stick on drum head and shaft of stick striking rim of snare. ■ Musically logical “fills” on snare, toms, etc. to emphasize or set-up written figures or improvised solo moments. ○ Right Foot: Play bass drum. ■ Optionally “feather” bass drum as quarter notes to emphasize bassline by lightly hitting bass drum. Felt not heard, should not be louder than bass. ■ Use to emphasize ends of fills and set-up syncopation by playing downbeat before a syncopated entrance.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUKE ELLINGTON’S COMPOSITIONAL STYLE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THREE SELECTED WORKS Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington’s compositions are significant to the study of jazz and American music in general. This study examines his compositional style through a comparative analysis of three works from each of his main stylistic periods. The analyses focus on form, instrumentation, texture and harmony, melody, tonality, and rhythm. Each piece is examined on its own and their significant features are compared. Eric S.
