Content
Solfege:
Development of basic Solfège. Analysing by ear works from the jazz repertoire. Performing notated music. The transcription of one or more aspects of the pieces to be analysed. The students go through Solfege Level A and Level B. C is offered in the elective credits of year 3 and 4.
Jazz Theory:
Students go through level A (SUBJECT TO MERGE WITH THEOEY PILOT 2021) and B. The jazz theory lessons are the basis for meaningful participation in the various other lessons. The lessons also discuss the more reflective side of dealing with music (music theory, analysis and the like) and there will be a focus on the study skills needed to apply the theory to the instrument.
• Notation skills - Musical literacy
• Harmonic analysis
• Melodic analysis and writing
• Compositional application of the topics
Jazz History:
The class is divided into three ‘boxes’:
Non Western Music History:
Each geographic region is covered: relevant non-Western music is discussed and listened to, some styles more than others. General ethno-musicological themes are also discussed. Students work on assignments related to music examples and lyrics. Each student will present a musical phenomenon from the world connected to the themselves. In this way students share their own specific (non-western) musical knowledge. In the end(research)group assignment the student connects his own musicianship to a non-western music concept and will present the musical outcome to his classmates.
