MUS-147
Jamming in Jazz, Funk, Pop and Rhythm and Blues Styles
- 1 Credit Hour
- Fall 2014
This course practices how to solo effectively melodically and rhythmically on an instrument in several different styles such as Jazz, Funk, Pop and Rhythm & Blues using mostly one's ear. Appropriate music theory will be studied. Ear training will also be accomplished by ?call and response? drills and listening to various recordings of these music styles. Students should have some basic music theory knowledge and will be expected to perform on an instrument (including voice). Students will practice active listening to examples of recordings in class. The class will practice performing complex polyrhythms and hemiolas by clapping and singing. Students will transcribe short phrases by repeated listenings and apply these memorized or notated phrases to similar harmonic progression forms or vamps in other compositions. Performing together in a group setting will be discussed and practiced as well. One-hour class per week
