Description
Summary:"Learning how to improvise requires the development of two equally critical components that often seem in opposition to one another: a completely automatic command of technique and theoretical knowledge and the development of one's creative voice. This document examines mindset, processes of internalization and recall, and the use of limitation as methods to approach this duality. Each of these areas consider pedagogical strategies to aid teachers and students in the process of learning. Examples are paired with theoretical explanations in order to more fully represent and explain the strategies."--Abstract.
