Aprenda los conceptos básicos de la improvisación con Gary Burton, uno de los improvisadores más reconocidos en el mundo del jazz, incluidos los procesos mentales, melódicos y armónicos que contribuyen a las habilidades instintivas que aplica un improvisador cuando realiza un solo. Si bien a muchas personas les gusta el jazz y entienden que los músicos a veces "inventan" las notas que tocan durante una presentación, la mayoría -incluidos los mismos músicos que están aprendiendo a improvisar- no saben con claridad qué procesos específicos se llevan a cabo para que esto suceda. El propósito de este curso es introducir los conceptos básicos de la improvisación moderna y cómo dominar las distintas habilidades musicales y mentales que intervienen. El autor del curso Gary Burton codifica un buscado abordaje de la improvisación que constituye el centro del plan de estudios de Berklee College of Music desde hace décadas. Los estudiantes que realicen el curso sabrán qué practicar y cómo practicar los diversos aspectos de la improvisación, además de entender de qué manera el improvisador se comunica espontáneamente con los oyentes a través de sus creaciones musicales.

Well, let's discuss how my course works and the kind of resources that you're

going to need to complete the assignments.

Each week, there's a concept or two maybe that are presented and explained and ways

to practice the concept and ways to put them to use.

And of course, the assignment will be directly related to that concept.

And a chance for you to show that you understand how it works and can

incorporate it into your playing. So, in some cases, homework may involve

things that you do right on the computer screen.

Maybe checking boxes or filling in key words and that sort of thing.

in other cases, there will be maybe some music written out, and you'll need to

download this in a PDF file, and then add things to it on your own.

It may be you'll have to write in some scales or write in some chord symbols or

write in some lines or certain key notes or whatever.

And, in that case, when you're finished with it you'll have to scan it and send

it back to the site as a PDF file. So, you will need a scanner.

You will also need to record yourself playing, creating MP3 files of your

playing. And it doesn't have to be anything

elaborate. we are not looking for studio audio

quality here, just so it's clear to listen to.

the simplest thing is to have a microphone and some basic recording

software on your computer and you're in business.

So, you'll create MP3 files and upload them to the site.

Next, you will have some assignments that involve a play along, track, something

that I have created for you, a rhythm section, playing a song.

And you will need to play along with it and record both.

The simplest way to do this, the least technological is to play the music out of

your computer speakers and then play your instrument a few feet away.

And place your microphone in between so that, you get a sort of a balance.

A nice balance between your live instrument and the play-along tracks.

And you can experiment a little bit to see where to place the mic.

Again, great audio is not a requirement as long as the music can be heard

relatively clearly, that will be perfectly fine.

Some students are very technical and, equipped, and have much more

sophisticated setups to do this. You're welcome to do it any way you want,

but, you know I don't want you spending a lot of extra money on, other equipment

and things just to complete the assignment.

It's not necessary. I always get asked also about Notation

Software. you do not need Sibelius or the other

kinds of music notation software to complete the assignments for the course.

You can use it if you wish, if you are very conversant in it and prefer writing

that way, that's perfectly all right. But it's not, not a requirement.

And again, don't feel like you have to go out, buy a new software, and learn how to

use it, and so on. I'll make one more point, which is about

the types of files. I've mentioned already PDF files, and MP3

files. these are the most universal.

Virtually, everybody's computer can open up those files.

If you record something in a wav file or a garage band file, a lot of students

won't be able to see your work including me as well.

So, my advice is to stick the most universal files.

That's MP3 and MP4 when recording music. That's all you need to do the assignment

for this course.
