1	Boogie-woogie-skolan : Pianoelevens väg till lustfylld improvisation / Joy of Boogie-Woogie : A Pedagogical Strategy For Piano Improvisation Learning Isaksson, William January 2024 (has links) Med anledningen av att jag upptäckt en stor rädsla för improvisation bland elever har syftet med utvecklingsarbetet varit att undersöka hur en lektionsserie i musikstilen boogie-woogie inverkar på pianoelevers relation till improvisation. Undersökningen har genomförts på individuella pianolektioner, på en gymnasieskola, där lektionerna bestått av specifika metodiska tillvägagångsätt för improvisation inom ramen för den givna musikstilen. Innan lektionsseriens start och efter lektionsseriens avslut har eleverna intervjuats i syfte att kunna besvara studiens frågeställningar huruvida elevernas relation till improvisation förändrats. Under den inledande intervjun framkom det att fyra av fem informanter hade väldigt liten erfarenhet av improvisation. Genom undervisning om konkreta improvisationsmetoder i en musikstil som förespråkar lekfullhet har informanternas relation till improvisation stärkts. Informanterna med liten tidigare erfarenheter har uttryckt att de vågar improvisera i högre utsträckning, medan informanten med stor tidigare erfarenhet anser sig ha fått fördjupad förståelse för olika improvisationsmetoder. Samtliga elevers självförtroende som pianister har även stärkts till följd av genrespecifika inslag. Undersökningen visar att begränsningar i musicerandet gör improviserandet mer lustfyllt och avspänt. boogie-woogie improvisation pianoundervisning sociokulturellt perspektiv Vygotskij Educational Sciences Utbildningsvetenskap

3	The Guaraldi Sound: The Musical Devices that Characterize Vince Guaraldi's Improvisational and Compositional Idiom Huntley, Alec Villars 12 1900 (has links) Vince Guaraldi (1928-1976) was a jazz pianist who achieved tremendous financial and commercial success in the 1960s with his popular recordings and his work for the Peanuts animated shorts. He cultivated a musical style that drew from several identifiable sources: boogie-woogie, bebop, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban jazz, and rock ‘n' roll. The result was a distinct approach to jazz which, although it may not have been as influential as that of some of his contemporaries, nevertheless constituted a unique and personal voice—what several commentators have referred to as the "Guaraldi sound." This dissertation considers the entire range of Guaraldi's recorded output in order to define and catalog many elements that contributed to Guaraldi's musical style. Using an analytical framework drawn from the work of Leonard Meyer and Benjamin Givan, this study describes both Guaraldi's improvisational style—the licks, patterns, and phrases that he plays while soloing—and common elements of his compositions—the chord progressions, grooves, and other features that are particularly idiomatic. Also discussed are Guaraldi's status within the established jazz canon and the disparity between his widespread popularity and his lukewarm critical reputation. The discussion and analyses provide useful insights for fans of Guaraldi, fans of Peanuts music, jazz musicologists, and any seeking to emulate the Guaraldi sound.
