Musik… • macht Spaß und Freude, • fördert die Entwicklung, • stärkt soziale Kompetenzen, • fördert das kognitive Denken, • stärkt das „Wir-Gefühl“ • fördert das positive Selbstbild des Kindes Wer hat Lust ein Musikinstrument zu erlernen? Hallo liebe Mädchen und Jungen, liebe Eltern, wir wollen Euch mit diesem Schreiben auf unser schönes Hobby „Musizieren beim Musikverein Egringen“ aufmerksam machen und Euer Interesse wecken! Der Musikverein Egringen wurde im Jahr 1908. gegründet, mittlerweile spielen in unserem Orchester rund 45 Musiker ein Blas- oder Schlaginstrument! Um unserem Nachwuchs (vielleicht auch in naher Zukunft Euch) die Gelegenheit zu geben gemeinsam in einem Orchester zu spielen, haben wir auch ein Jugendorchester gegründet. In diesem spielen Mädchen und Jungen im Alter zwischen 9 und 15 Jahren. Probe ist einmal in der Woche, immer donnerstags von 19:00 bis 20:00 Uhr. Das Jugendorchester veranstaltet jedes Jahr ein eigenes Jugendvorspiel, bei dem es sein Können unter Beweis stellen kann. Auch bei anderen Veranstaltungen ist es sehr aktiv. Hauptsächlich spielen Sie bekannte Musikstücke aus den Charts, aber auch konzertante Musik. Das Musizieren sollte und steht natürlich auch im Vordergrund, wir bieten aber auch andere Aktivitäten wie zum Beispiel, Grillfeste, Schwimmbadbesuche, Hüttenwochenende, Ausflüge wie z. B. in den Europa Park, Weihnachtsfeier usw.. Besucht doch mal unsere Homepage, Ihr werdet staunen. www.musikverein-egringen.de Musikunterricht Der Unterricht findet bei uns in der Regel als Einzelunterricht statt und kann ab dem 8 – 10 Lebensjahr begonnen werden. Der Lehrer zeigt Dir im Unterricht, wie du das Instrument bedienen musst (Notenlernern, Rhythmik, Ansatz, Griffe) und erarbeitet mit Dir Musikstücke, welche Du natürlich unbedingt zu Hause üben musst.

  • Lester Young
    THE TRAGEDY AND TRIUMPH OF LESTER YOUNG By RON TABOR still at (or close to) the height of his creative powers, and much like Billie Holiday, Young suffered an extended period “I STAY BY MYSELF. SO HOW DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING of physical, psychological, and most believe, artistic decline, ABOUT ME?”1 which was visible to all but the most obtuse observers. Young’s death, in other words, can almost be described as protracted and public. To anyone more than a little familiar with the life of Lester Young, the great African American jazz tenor saxophonist, the What is usually accounted for as the cause of Young’s deterio- title of my essay must seem ironic. For Young’s life is more ration and ultimate demise was the time he spent in the US often described, when it is described at all, as a triumph fol- Army during the last year of World War II, when he was lowed by tragedy. This reflects the arc of his artistic career. In arrested for possession of marijuana and barbiturates and the late 1930s, Young burst upon the national jazz scene as a spent a term in the detention barracks. Nobody knows exactly star, even the star, of the fabulous Count Basie band. His new what went on there, but whatever it was, it had a profound sound and radical approach to improvisation, in the context impact on the saxophonist. According to most observers, of the innovations of the band itself, set the jazz world afire, Young emerged from the experience a changed—some say, paved the way for modern jazz, and influenced hundreds if disturbed—man.

  • New World NW 271 Jazz Historians Explain the Coming of Bebop—The Radically New Jazz Style That Established Itself Toward
    Bebop New World NW 271 Jazz historians explain the coming of bebop—the radically new jazz style that established itself toward the end of World War II—as a revolutionary phenomenon. The motives ascribed to the young pioneers in the style range from dissatisfaction with the restrictions on freedom of expression imposed by the then dominant big-band swing style to the deliberate invention of a subtle and mystifying manner of playing that could not be copied by uninitiated musicians. It has even been suggested that bebop was invented by black musicians to prevent whites from stealing their music, as had been the case with earlier jazz styles. Yet when Dizzy Gillespie, one of the two chief architects of the new style, was asked some thirty years after the fact if he had been a conscious revolutionary when bebop began, his answer was Not necessarily revolutionary, but evolutionary. We didn't know what it was going to evolve into, but we knew we had something that was a little different. We were aware of the fact that we had a new concept of the music, if by no other means than the enmity of the [older] musicians who didn't want to go through a change.... But it wasn't the idea of trying to revolutionize, but only trying to see yourself, to get within yourself. And if somebody copied it, okay! Were he able, the other great seminal figure of bebop, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, would probably amplify Gillespie's opinion that the new music arose from inner needs rather than external factors.

  • Primary Sources: an Examination of Ira Gitler's
    PRIMARY SOURCES: AN EXAMINATION OF IRA GITLER’S SWING TO BOP AND ORAL HISTORY’S ROLE IN THE STORY OF BEBOP By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Master of Arts M.A. Program in Jazz History and Research Written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter And approved by ___________________________ _____________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Primary Sources: An Examination of Ira Gitler’s Swing to Bop and Oral History’s Role in the Story of Bebop By CHRISTOPHER DENNISON Thesis director: Dr. Lewis Porter This study is a close reading of the influential Swing to Bop: An Oral History of the Transition of Jazz in the 1940s by Ira Gitler. The first section addresses the large role oral history plays in the dominant bebop narrative, the reasons the history of bebop has been constructed this way, and the issues that arise from allowing oral history to play such a large role in writing bebop’s history. The following chapters address specific instances from Gitler’s oral history and from the relevant recordings from this transitionary period of jazz, with musical transcription and analysis that elucidate the often vague words of the significant musicians. The aim of this study is to illustratethe smoothness of the transition from swing to bebop and to encourage a sense of skepticism in jazz historians’ consumption of oral history. ii Acknowledgments The biggest thanks go to Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr.

How Bebop Came to Be: The aE rly History of Modern Jazz Abstract Bebop, despite its rather short lifespan, would become a key influence for every style that came after it. Bebop’s effects on improvisation, group structure, and harmony would be felt throughout jazz for decades to come, and the best known musicians of the bebop era are still regarded as some of the finest jazz musicians to ever take the stage. But the characteristics of bebop can easily be determined from the music itself.
