This book offers compelling new perspectives on the revolutionary
potential of improvisation pedagogy. Bringing together
contributions from leading musicians, scholars, and teachers from
around the world, the volume articulates how improvisation can
breathe new life into old curricula; how it can help teachers and
students to communicate more effectively; how it can break down
damaging ideological boundaries between classrooms and communities;
and how it can help students become more thoughtful, engaged, and
activist global citizens. In the last two decades, a growing number
of music educators, music education researchers, musicologists,
cultural theorists, creative practitioners, and ethnomusicologists
have suggested that a greater emphasis on improvisation in music
performance, history, and theory classes offers enormous potential
for pedagogical enrichment. This book will help educators realize
that potential by exploring improvisation along a variety of
trajectories. Essays offer readers both theoretical explorations of
improvisation and music education from a wide array of vantage
points, and practical explanations of how the theory can be
implemented in real situations in communities and classrooms. It
will therefore be of interest to teachers and students in numerous
modes of pedagogy and fields of study, as well as students and
faculty in the academic fields of music education, jazz studies,
ethnomusicology, musicology, cultural studies, and popular culture
studies.
