This course will build on previous studies to further develop the student's facility in the technical and stylistic aspects of improvisation, and continue to develop an understanding of key aural principles and techniques and their application within a jazz context.
Techniques of the post Bop era and beyond will be covered in order to develop the students' facility in the technical and stylistic aspects of improvisation. Ensemble repertoire will be used to provide a basis for these improvisations, with both harmonic and rhythmic aspects of improvisation being considered. Applying intermediate aural skills in a variety of contexts through an examination of musical elements of intervals, scales, chords, rhythm, chord progressions and melody. The vocalisation of material will continue to be developed to support the underpinning constructs, with singing and dictation being the primary tools for internalising each area of study.
