IMPROVISATION

MYL-535 Improvisation 1
MDP-651 Studies in Improvised Musics-1
MIAM, Spring 2015
Doent Dr. Robert Reigle
rreigle@gmail.com
Two sessions per week: 1) performance, 90 minutes; 2) seminar, 90 minutes.
Class Times: Mondays 20:30-22:00 (performance), Tuesdays 20:00-21:30 (seminar).
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
A free-improvisation ensemble combined with weekly seminars. During the first half of the
semester, we will examine the history of free jazz, the idiom that revolutionized improvisational
practice. In the second half of the semester we will study the genre referred to as improvised
music, which emerged during the 1960s and has become the global beacon of syncretic improvised
musics. We will look at perspectives from ethnomusicology, cognitive studies, and gesture
research. Each week one class will be devoted to performance, and at the second session we will
discuss the assigned listening and reading for the week. We will produce a concert near the end of
the semester.
This course combines critical readings/listenings/viewings with weekly performances of
improvised music. Students write papers based on the combination of those two musical
perspectives. Students participate in a variety of musical styles brought by the individual musicians
enrolled in the class. Group and dialogic concepts are developed through the practical experience
of musical creation in real-time.
COURSE MATERIALS:
Weekly listening assignments, including liner notes or commentary.

1

Prepare the listening (listen to the recordings and read the liner notes) and readings (approximately
50 pages per week) before class; the videos (only excerpts), however, will be shown during
class, except where noted.
ATTENDANCE:
Plan to arrive at class five or ten minutes before the scheduled starting time, so you can set up your
equipment or organize your materials before class begins. If you arrive late, but less than 15
minutes after starting time, you will be marked late; three late marks count as one absence. If you
arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will be marked absent. Your grade will be lowered if you
miss five sessions, and six absences result in automatic failure. Medical, rehearsal, performance,
class preparation, and other excuses will not be accepted. Do not use your allowed absences just for
pleasure, as you may need them for a medical emergency.
