Abstract
, Abstract A four-month research period into the practice of free music improvisation in Brazil during February-June 2014 allowed intriguing insights into how musicians think about, play and teach the music practice that is referred to as ‘free improvisation.’ An overview of the term ‘free improvisation’ with some historical context on its development will be provided to aid the reader to better situate the ethnographic study of 50 Brazilian improvisers during 2014. The ethnography was carried out by the author who speaks fluent Portuguese, using a participatory action research (PAR) framework, with the main aim of enquiring whether or how the practice of free improvisation is taught in the Brazilian higher education system. The research was set at several higher education institutions in Brazil, which included the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), The Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO), The University of São Paulo (USP), The Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), The Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), with two shorter, single day visits to The Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Natal (UFRN) and The Escola Livre de Música in Unicamp (ELM).
2014年2月至6月,在巴西进行了为期四个月的自由即兴音乐实践研究,让我们对音乐家如何思考、演奏和教授被称为“自由即兴”的音乐实践有了有趣的见解。“自由即兴”一词的概述及其发展的一些历史背景将帮助读者更好地定位2014年50名巴西即兴者的民族志研究。作者使用参与性行动研究(PAR)框架,使用流利的葡萄牙语进行民族志研究,其主要目的是询问巴西高等教育系统是否或如何教授自由即兴创作的实践。该研究在巴西的几所高等教育机构进行,包括里约热内卢联邦大学(UFRJ)、里约热内卢联邦大学(UNIRIO)、圣保罗大学(USP)、米纳斯吉拉斯州联邦大学(UFMG)、巴伊亚联邦大学(UFBA),并对纳塔尔北部格兰德联邦大学(UFRN)和Unicamp的Escola Livre de Música (ELM)进行了为期两天的短期访问。
