Offers an introduction to improvisation/articulation/compos
ition in the jazz idiom and an opportunity for musical
self-inventory within the context of a 20th-century world
music environment. The course develops the cognitive,
sensorimotor and creative skills by stressing structure
articulation, kinetic efficiency and sensitive imagining.
The aesthetic balance of performance and musical literacy is
vital to the task. All instruments (including, of course,
the human voice) are invited.
