Point of Departure: A Method for Teaching Improvisation Using Four-Mallet Marimba Literature for the High School Percussionist

Siegel, Nathan Elliot 07 1900 (has links)
This dissertation introduces a method of melodic improvisation that is designed for the high school percussionist. Teaching improvisation to the modern music student can be challenging, as the concept of creating music spontaneously is unfamiliar to the typical music student. While improvisation techniques exist within jazz education, some students are overwhelmed by the complex harmony and sheer amount of study and practice that is required to improvise within the style of jazz. This dissertation proposes a method of improvising that incorporates commonly known four-mallet marimba repertoire as a point of departure for improvisation. Utilizing ideas from ethnomusicologist Bruno Nettl (b. 1930-2020) and music researcher Jeff Pressing (b.1949-2002), I have crafted a pedagogical method for improvising at the marimba that is accessible to the high school percussionist. Five marimba solos are be used as examples in this document and the accompanying lecture recital to demonstrate how this method functions. The goal for this project is to give percussionists an obtainable way to begin improvising at the marimba utilizing music that they are already comfortable playing. It is important to note that when the term "music student" without further specification, I am referring to a high school musician who studies classical music in the United States.

No. of bitstreams: 1 zorzetto_p_me_ia.pdf: 7462080 bytes, checksum: e9ca8bc71dc1a78ff96f76fe1320147b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-06-30 / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral propor um Modelo Vocal para Percussionistas (MVP), na execução de obras solo em que o uso da voz é requerido, explorando elementos físicos e musicais que fazem parte das práticas diárias do estudante e do profissional da percussão. Para tanto, foram escolhidas três importantes peças do repertório percussivo para a aplicação dos conceitos propostos: ?Corporel, para um percussionista e sons do seu corpo (1985), de Vinko Globokar (1934); To the Earth (1985), de Frederic Rzewski (1938); e URSONATE (1922 - 1932), de Kurt Schwitters (1887 - 1948). Por possuírem características distintas, quanto ao uso da voz, cada uma delas possibilita o entendimento do MVP, como um paradigma teórico amplo o suficiente, para resolver problemas técnicos e interpretativos diversos, a partir da compreensão do contexto em que estão inseridas: a Música-Teatro. Sob as considerações da pesquisadora Claudia Hansen, e do professor Wladimir Mattos, foram estipuladas as bases deste gênero musical, bem como os perfis do percussionista e da percussão que o representam, além daquilo que deve ser levado em conta como sendo a voz e a fala. A partir de três pilares teórico-práticos - a fonoarticulação, a coarticulação e a realização prosódica - as obras escolhidas foram analisadas e preparadas para a performance, levando-se em conta as discussões ocorridas no âmbito da fonética e da fonologia, e as soluções encontradas foram esquematizadas por meio de tabelas, visando a facilitar a compreensão do MVP. Desta forma, esperamos que a proposta do presente trabalho auxilie futuras pesquisas, interpretações e discussões inseridas no universo percussão e voz, acentuando as cores desta tão tênue e simbiótica linha que perpassa os ambientes musical e teatral. / This research aims to propose a Vocal Method for Percussionists (VMP) for playing solo pieces where using the voice is required. The physical and musical elements that are part of the percussionist's daily practice were analyzed. In order to achieve that, three major, well established, percussion pieces were drafted regarding the application of the proposed methods: ?Corporel, for one percussionist using her/his body (1985), by Vinko Globokar (1934); To the Earth (1985), by Frederic Rzewski (1938); and URSONATE (1922 - 1932), by Kurt Schwitters (1887 - 1948). Despite their differences regarding how the voice is used, each one of them enables the reader to assimilate the VMP, as a theoretical paradigm broad enough to figure out a wide range of interpretative and technical issues, fully understanding the context in which they belong: the music-theater. Under Claudia Hansen's and professor Wlad Matos' research analysis, we established the basis of this music genre, as well as the percussionist's and percussion characteristics that define them, and what should be considered as voice and speech. Starting off from three practical-theoretical pillars - articulation of speech, articulatory gesture and the prosodic conduction - the selected pieces were thoroughly analysed, looking for any issues regarding the use of the voice and singling out schematic solutions that would emerge. Thus, we hope that our work may assist future research, interpretation and discussion regarding percussion and voice. Taking into consideration the very gentle and symbiotic confluence within the musical and theatrical environments.
