Peace Round Add picture here Dorian Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian Aeolian Pentatonic minor Improvisation has boundaries and may include: 1. Meter Supply an ostinato 2. Tonal center Reinforce the tonal center 3. Scale Limiting pitches 4. Melody Limiting deviation 5. Harmony Prescribing harmony We can promote successful improvisation experiences by enforcing the boundaries Jazz Improvisation on Piano Explain procedure first: demonstrate each of the 3 parts. Then have students form 3 lines at the piano (low, medium & high keys) Low part: Middle part: Students are to play chords (3 notes at once) using only black keys. High part: Students are to play a melody (one note at a time) using only black keys. Reasons You Don’t Use Much Composition in Your Curriculum 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Younger children don’t have the notation skills to do it. I wasn’t trained in teaching it. I don’t even think I can do it myself. Children need more basic musical experiences. I don’t have enough time to spend on composition. Two Tricks in Teaching Composition 1. You only need storage to allow for revision. 2. Use those specified guidelines (boundaries). For the creative spirit, limits are useful. -- Leon Fleisher Composing with Limits Catcerto 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Compositional Process How to Compose a Simple Melody Compose a one-measure rhythmic ostinato; add pitch; [improvise to ostinato] Choose a short quote; add a value (limiting these is helpful) to each syllable; add pitch (limit also?) Given rhythm cards (one measure each), students ‘arrange’ the piece Write a rap song (nothing negative!) Allow students to come up with their own notation system to ‘store’ their piece – work in pairs with a topic Polyrhythm Polyrhythm Desktop Blues You Ain’t Nothin’ but a Groundhog By Jeffrey B. Moran Chorus: You ain't nothin' but a groundhog Sleepin' all the time. Ain't nothin' but a groundhog Sleepin' all the time. You ain't never chucked wood and you ain't no friend of mine. You said you ate dry grass. That was just a lie. You said you ate dry grass. That was just a lie. 'Cause you eat sweet clover until the day you die. You dig yourself a burrow for sleepin' in at night. 'Cause you eat all day 'til you can't eat another bite. Repeat Chorus: You eat a lot all summer so you can hibernate. You eat a lot all summer gaining lots of weight. Then you sleep all winter 'til it's spring and it's time to mate. You said you had canines. That was not the truth. You said you had canines. That was not the truth. 'Cause like every rodent you got big incisor tooths.
