课程名称：《爵士即兴演奏》 课程概述：本课程由知名爵士乐即兴演奏者加里·伯顿授课，旨在帮助学员理解即兴演奏的基本概念，包括构成即兴演奏者在独奏时运用的心理、旋律和和声过程。尽管许多人对爵士乐情有独钟，并且理解音乐家在演出时常常“即兴创作”音符，但对于这些创作的具体过程，尤其是初学即兴演奏的音乐家们，往往不够清晰。该课程的目的就是介绍现代即兴演奏的基本概念，以及掌握涉及的各种音乐和心理技能。 课程作者加里·伯顿总结了一种备受追捧的即兴演奏方法，这一方法已成为伯克利音乐学院课程的核心几十年。完成本课程后，学员将清楚应该练习什么以及如何练习即兴演奏的各个方面，同时理解即兴演奏者如何通过音乐创作与听众进行自发的沟通。 课程大纲： 1. **欢迎来到爵士即兴演奏** - 介绍课程细节，帮助学员充分利用课程体验。 2. **即兴演奏作为一种语言** - 探索爵士即兴演奏者使用的语言，理解即兴演奏如何类似于语言。 3. **即兴演奏者的词汇** - 识别最常用的和弦音阶及其相关和声，包括大调、小调和属七和弦。 4. **实时做出音阶选择** - 探讨即兴演奏者如何快速回忆和弦音阶并流畅演奏，掌握实时做出音阶选择的方法。 5. **即兴演奏者的和声** - 研究即兴演奏者如何明确传达和声，帮助听众理解和弦之间的变化。 6. **主题与变奏** - 讨论即兴演奏者如何在独奏中发展旋律主题，使用主题与变奏的传统概念讲述音乐故事，以吸引听众。 本课程旨在提升学员的即兴演奏技巧，使其能够更加自信地在演出中进行创作。
Name:Welcome to Jazz Improvisation
Description:Welcome to the course! Here we will cover all the details about the course and what you'll need to know to get the most out of your experience.
Name:Improvisation as a Language
Description:Since everybody who is taking this course starts from a different place in terms of their experience as an improviser, it's important at first to cover some basic material. We'll begin our journey by exploring the language used by jazz improvisors. Improvisation is analogous to language in many ways. With music, we become fluent when the vocabulary (scales and chords) and grammar (harmonic progressions) are assimilated into conversational content or story (melodic themes and structure) and we no longer have to consciously think about them while we play.
Name:The Improviser's Vocabulary
Description:In this lesson, we'll explore the improviser's lingo. We'll identify the most common chord scales and the type of harmony they relate to including major, minor, and dominant 7.
Name:Making Scale Choices in Real Time
Description:Improvisers must be able to quickly recall chord scales and be able to play around on them fluently. This becomes important when choosing which chord scale to use on a given harmony—another thing we must be able to determine immediately. When a new tune is put in front of you at a session or a rehearsal, there isn't time to take the music home and spend an hour or two working out the correct scales. Improvisers need a quick, mostly intuitive way of making these scale choices in real time as the tune is being played. This week, we'll explore my method for making these quick musical decisions.
Name:Harmony for Improvisers
Description:It is important for an improviser to clearly imply the harmonies when improvising. It is not enough to just play correct notes on each chord. In this lesson we'll examine how the improviser helps the harmonies move. Part of the improviser's job is to help the listener follow the changes as the chords move from one to another.
Name:Theme and Variation
Description:This week we will discuss how the improviser develops melodic themes in a solo. As mentioned in week 1, there are natural comparisons between speech and improvising that illustrate how this functions. The most common technique for telling a musical story that engages the listener for the duration of your solo is by using a traditional concept called theme and variation. That is, you introduce a theme—a musical phrase—then repeat it, making variations on it to develop an interesting storyline. A good solo is like an explanation, or a good story. The explanation or story is the content of improvisation.
Learn the basic concepts of improvisation from Gary Burton, one of the most renowned improvisers in the jazz world, including the mental, melodic, and harmonic processes that contribute to the instinctive skills that an improviser puts to use when taking a solo. While many people are fans of jazz and understand that musicians are often “making up” the notes they are playing during a performance, most people—often including musicians, themselves, who are beginning to learn improvising—aren’t clear about what exact processes take place to enable this to happen. The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic concepts of modern improvisation and how to go about mastering the different musical and mental skills involved. Course author Gary Burton codifies a sought-after approach to improvisation that has been at the core of Berklee College of Music's curriculum for decades. Students who complete this course will know what to practice and how to practice the various aspects of improvising, in addition to understanding how the improviser spontaneously communicates to the listeners through their musical creations.
