    Free Jazz in the Classroom: an Ecological Approach to Music Educationi

    David Borgo Free Jazz in the Classroom: An Ecological Approach to Music Educationi Abandon Knowledge About Knowledge All Ye Who Enter Here. Bruno Latourii Conventional Western educational practice hinges on the notion that knowledge— or at least knowledge worth having—is primarily conceptual and hence can be abstracted from the situations in which it is learned and used. I recently came across a helpful illustration of this general tendency while watching Monty Python reruns. The sketch involved a caricature of a British talk show called “How to Do It.” John Cleese served as the show’s host: Well, last week we showed you how to become a gynecologist. And this week on “How to Do It” we're going to show you how to play the flute, how to split an atom, how to construct a box girder bridge, how to irrigate the Sahara Desert and make vast new areas of land cultivatable, but first, here’s Jackie to tell you all how to rid the world of all known diseases. After Eric Idle solves the global health crisis in a sentence or two, John Cleese explains “how to play the flute”: “Well here we are. (Picking up a flute.) You blow there and you move your fingers up and down here.” Turning again to the camera, he concludes the show with a teaser for the next installment: Well, next week we’ll be showing you how black and white people can live together in peace and harmony, and Alan will be over in Moscow showing us how to reconcile the Russians and the Chinese.

  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba

    The Composer's Guide to the Tuba

    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

    Developing a Personal Vocabulary for Solo Double Bass Through Assimilation of Extended Techniques and Preparations

    Developing a Personal Vocabulary for Solo Double Bass Through Assimilation of Extended Techniques and Preparations Thomas Botting This thesis is submitted in partial requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Sydney Conservatorium of Music The University of Sydney 2019 i Statement of Originality This is to certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Thomas Botting November 8th, 2018 ii Abstract This research focuses on the development of a personal musical idiolect for solo double bass through the assimilation of extended techniques and preparations. The research documents the process from inception to creative output. Through an emergent, practice-led initial research phase, I fashion a developmental framework for assimilating new techniques and preparations into my musical vocabulary.The developmental framework has the potential to be linear, reflexive or flexible depending on context, and as such the tangible outcomes can be either finished creative works, development of new techniques, or knowledge about organisational aspects of placing the techniques in musical settings. Analysis of creative works is an integral part of the developmental framework and forms the bulk of this dissertation. The analytical essays within contain new knowledge about extended techniques, their potential and limitations, and realities inherent in their use in both compositional and improvisational contexts. Video, audio, notation and photos are embedded throughout the dissertation and form an integral part of the research project.

    1-17 Speaker Biographies and Abstracts 2008 Guelph Jazz Colloquium Melvin Backstrom Panel: “Free Improvisation, Education, and Cultural Dynamics” Bio Melvin Backstrom is presently a masters of Musicology student at McGill University with his research focusing on theoretical and practical understandings of contemporary musical communities (jambands, electronica, post-rock/jazz most notably) in which improvisation plays an integral role. His undergraduate studies were at Grant MacEwan College, where he received diplomas in jazz guitar performance and recording engineering/composition, and the University of Alberta—receiving a BA (Combined Honours) in music and philosophy, and writing his honours thesis on a critical examination of Adorno’s views on popular music. Prior to his arrival at McGill in the Fall of 2007 he lived in Taiwan for two years teaching English to pre-school children through adults while also being heavily involved in a number of different musical groups performing a wide variety of musical styles. He has worked as a tree planter in Western Canada over six seasons, as a showband guitarist on cruise ships, and has also hitchhiked over large parts of North America. While the (non-classical) guitar is his primary instrument, he also plays keyboards, does a great deal of work with the real-time musical manipulation software Ableton Live and plays a mean jaw- harp.

    Third Annual Conference December 5-7, 2008 Improvisation and Identity: Discovering Self and Community in a Trans-Cultural Age ISIM promotes performance, education, and research in improvised music, and illuminates connections between musical improvisation and creativity across fields. Keynote Address: Roscoe Mitchell Featured Performers and Speakers: Joëlle Léandre and India Cooke isim INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IMPROVISED MUSIC THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE About ISIM Mission Statement ISIM promotes performance, education, and research in improvised music, and illuminates connections between musical improvisation and creativity across fields. Narrative Reflecting the melding of diverse cultures, ethnicities, disciplines, and ideas that shapes society at large, today’s musical world is increasingly characterized by creative expressions that transcend conventional style categories. Improvisation is a core aspect of this global confluence, and in recent years the phrase “improvised music” has emerged as a kind of an overarching label for much of this eclectic musical activity. Initially used to describe jazz and its offshoots, the phrase now encompasses a broad spectrum of formats—from computer music and multi-media 1 collaborations to string quartets, bebop quintets and multiethnic fusion. Enabling spontaneous interactions between musicians from the most disparate backgrounds, the dissolution of boundaries between performers and listeners, and access to the transcendent dimensions of creative experience, improvisation is at the heart of a new musical paradigm that is uniquely reflective of contemporary life. Musical improvisation may also shed light on creativity in a wide variety of fields, as corporate executives, educators, athletes, medical professionals and other practitioners recognize an improvisatory core to success, progress, and fulfillment in their respective disciplines.
