For the first part of the course, we will look at improvisation in select musical traditions from around the world, in order to compare and understand important musical and social elements valued by the practitioners and listeners. We will then consider different approaches to improvisation in its broadest sense, looking at: non-idiomatic improvisation, improvisation in conjunction with other expressive arts, improvising across abilities and contextual limitations, and using improvisation itself as a vehicle for teaching and learning music. This course incorporates both theory and practice, and is designed to benefit students new to improvisation as well as those already well-versed in this skill set and tradition. Class meetings will revolve around three areas: discussion of relevant musical scholarship, critical listening to live and recorded music, and applying various concepts on our primary instrument or voice. Assessment will focus on completing a project structured to suit the background of the individual student, combining in varying degrees: writing, performance, and lecture/pedagogy. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Music department.
