  • Promoting Collaborative Playful Experimentation Through Group Ear Playing in Higher
    Reflective conservatoire conference Promoting collaborative playful experimentation through group ear playing in Higher Education Abstract Forty-six first-year, primarily classically trained, undergraduate students took part in an exploratory research study on Group Ear Playing (GEP) in Higher Education. The students attended the ‘Playing by Ear’ component of the Practical Musicianship module, which adopts the materials and strategies on playing by ear in the instrumental lesson developed by Lucy Green (2012; 2014). The students were divided into eight groups, they were provided with audio material (one pop song, a selection of classical pieces from which to select one and a free choice piece) and were instructed to copy the music by ear as a group for 40 minutes each week for five weeks. Data were collected through individual reflective logs collected each week (n=196) and end-of- programme feedback forms that included open questions and rating scales. The findings of the study suggest firstly, that the students engaged in playful experimentation in a collaborative manner, where the more confident musicians supported their less confident colleagues. Secondly, a variety of strategies for improvising together was explored, which included adding ornaments based on scales, playing chords and rhythms for variety, altering the pieces’ structure, adding or changing rhythms, and missing notes out. Thirdly, although the focus of the activity was on copying music by ear from recordings, all groups included an improvisation section at each piece they rehearsed, where all musicians playfully experimented together rather than as soloists, in order to ‘change things slightly’ and ‘make the piece sound more interesting’.

  • Reflect, Rewind and Replay Y4 Step 4
    Reflect, Rewind and Replay Consolidate Learning and Perform - Year 4 Step 4 Classical music The term 'Classical music' has come to be known as a term for music that spans the course of hundreds of years, including all Western music from Medieval Church music, to Stravinsky, to the current day. It is music that has been composed by musicians who are trained in notating their compositions so that other musicians can play them. Many people are unaware that Classical music is still being composed today, although it is very different from what was created several hundred years ago. Classical music differs from Pop music because it is not made just to be popular for a short time or just to be a commercial success. It is different from Folk music , which belongs to the people who want to perform it and passed to future generations by listening and copying. Breadth of listening across ALL genres and styles of music is so important. Children need to understand where music fits into history and to listen to its great composers and musicians. Listening, knowledge and understanding will inform and guide their future listening. The only way to understand music is to listen to it. There is a whole world of sound waiting to be discovered. 1. Listen and Appraise Reflect Listen to the Bridal Chorus by Wagner, written in 1850, the Romantic period. (See Periods of Classical Music document in the History of Music folder on the unit page.) Stand or sit to find the pulse or just listen to the music.
