MUSJAZZ 2102 - Jazz Musicianship 2B

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2022

Jazz theory, improvisation and arranging will all be delivered in this course through study of relevant texts, audio and video files, musical scores and transcribed solos. 2B will expand upon the language of jazz used over specific styles including bebop, modal and ballad playing as well as how to build solos through interaction with the rhythm section. Jazz arranging further explores techniques of rhythmic, melodic, harmonic and textural elements for small and medium-size jazz ensembles. Three and four-part harmonisation of melodies for the mixed horn section will be studied. Practical application is made of the study of the rhythm section, mixed five-horn section (harmonised and in unison), the sketch score and score layout. Further study of the styles of contemporary arrangers and composer are also included.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
