4 Module Description The Improvisation Concepts module aims to introduce you to the fundamental concepts of harmonic, melodic and rhythmic vocabulary for the purpose of engaging in instrumental improvisation. You will be introduced to concepts, ideas and conventional devices designed to provide you with a solid foundation for further study in the discipline. The skills and vocabulary learned in this module will be applied within other performance-related contexts throughout the course. Much of the content that you will study is also designed to complement your technical development studies on your principal study instrument, however it should be noted that the concepts at the heart of Improvisation also apply to a far broader range of performance and composition contexts as they are, in most instances, non-instrument-specific (composition, arranging, production). Throughout the module, you will be expected to initiate and maintain a self-directed and strategic approach to your studies. Specifically, you will be required to develop a balanced and holistic appreciation for both your practical and theoretical development as a musician. You will be responsible for motivating yourself to research and develop subject matter beyond the lessons in a pursuit to acquire depth of understanding within the subject area. In doing so, you will enhance your ability to view topics in a critical manner, to identify conceptual threads and to seek out commonalities across On completion of this Module you should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of core improvisation skills and devices specific to the discipline in the context of performance. (Creative Music Performance 1) Assessment Criteria. To achieve the learning outcome you must demonstrate the ability to: Present and perform a range of specialised isolated improvisation exercises. Display elements of creativity and expression during improvisation. (Creative Music Performance 3) Demonstrate an awareness of the broader musical context in which improvisation concepts may be applied. (Creative Music Performance 4) Combine melodic, harmonic and rhythmically appropriate language during genre-specific improvisation. Demonstrate the ability to select or omit appropriate improvisational devices in the context of genrespecific improvisation-based performance. Skills Development Knowledge and Understanding You will gain an understanding of the vocabulary and conventions used in improvisation through the module content. You will explore foundational core concepts that are critical to the study of improvisation. Intellectual Skills You will have an opportunity to develop and apply relevant cognitive and analytical skills when engaging with the theory and philosophy of improvisation. 4

5 Practical Skills You will develop the ability to apply foundational improvisation concepts and theory to your instrument. You will develop your skills with regards to identifying and applying improvisation language and theory in context, through engagement with lead sheets, transcriptions, scores and recordings. Transferable Skills You will have the opportunity to develop a creative and integrative approach to study, in which intellectual study and practical application are weighted equally. Assessment Strategy Summative assessment (Submission of filmed performance) You will be asked to submit an 8-10 minute filmed performance demonstrating: A range of isolated improvisation exercises that highlight the core concepts underpinning the module. Application of improvisational concepts in the context of a pre-agreed genre-specific performance. The pre-agreed performance will allow students to integrate improvisation vocabulary in a contextuallyrelevant manner. The repertoire will be agreed with your tutor during the trimester. Summative assessment will occur at the end of Trimester 1, with formative assessment taking place at the mid-way point of the module (week 8). Feedback from weekly improvisation tasks will enable you to adjust and improve aspects of your playing on a frequent and regular basis. The following aspects of performance will be taken into consideration: Timing Tuning Accuracy of execution Sound and tonal production Fluency of phrasing Consistency of delivery Appropriateness of decision-making in the context of performance Creative intention and use of concepts and vocabulary 5
