Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop high-level improvisation skills. | ||
Employability Skills | Not applicable | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Superior improvisation skills are required by musicians in a range of musical genres and traditions, for example, jazz, blues, classical, folk and rock. Aural awareness and a thorough grounding in the practice of the chosen genre or musical tradition are required so that musicians are in a position to respond intuitively to musical elements as they seek to vary them spontaneously during performances. The key to successful improvisation is the confidence to make musical decisions on the fly, to understand that improvisation is about spontaneous composition or variation, about performing music that is composed or varied 'in the moment' in response to musical stimuli. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
