“Symmetry in harmony and melodic/intervalistic movement, as inspiration for (jazz-) improvisation and composition”
possible topics:
-Understanding, explication, analysis and practical use of some existing and frequently used symmetric scales: Whole tone, diminished scale, chromatic scale, tritone scale, Messiaen mode I, II,III and IV…)
-The use of them in concrete playing situations: teacher and students will listen play and explore and will learn how to to use them practically within the original scale itself, as on basic chord progressions.
-Constant structure: symmetric shifting of chords, intervals, triads, note groups, melodies… Discovery of these structures in tunes (also standards) and compositions. Also here: practical use of this in the students own improvisation- and compositional language.
-examples of these topics by jazz-improvisers and composers (classical and jazz-) will be listened to and discussed.
-Analysis of some of my own composition, also with improvisation tryouts on the chords:
