A Creativity Model for Teaching Stylistic Improvisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper a) examines the nature of creative thinking in musical improvisation, b) examines music teachers 'confidence in their inprovisation abilities and c) proposes a model for teaching stylistic improvisation. First, factor analysis of improvisations of college jazz singers indicates that divergent thinking, as exemplified through variety, originality and elaboration of musical ideas, is less important than the more convergent items of stylistic appropriateness and correct notes.

For a clearer understanding, it is a practical necessity to use an approach such as those of Berliner (1994) and Gibbs (2010), who make the study of improvisational creativity more tangible by identifyi...
متن کاملA Concurrent Constraints Factor Oracle Model for Music Improvisation
Machine improvisation and related style simulation problems usually consider building representations of time-based media data, such as music, either by explicit coding of rules or applying machine learning methods. Stylistic learning applies such methods to musical sequences in order to capture salient musical features and organize these features into a model. The Stylistic simulation process ...
متن کاملInteraction with Machine Improvisation
We describe two multi-agent architectures for an improvisation oriented musician-machine interaction systems that learn in real time from human performers. The improvisation kernel is based on sequence modeling and statistical learning. We present two frameworks of interaction with this kernel. In the first, the stylistic interaction is guided by a human operator in front of an interactive comp...
