Antoinette Handy’s multifaceted career encompassed the roles of music educator, scholar, and arts administrator, as well as soloist and bandleader. Born in New Orleans in 1930 and educated at the New England Conservatory, Northwestern, and the Paris Conservatoire, Handy settled in the Richmond, Virginia, area in 1966 to begin an expansive new phase of her career. She taught at Virginia State College, performed with the Richmond Symphony, was music critic for the Richmond Afro-American, published three books, and hosted two public radio programs including Black Virginia, which featured female jazz masters and discussed the state of jazz education in Richmond at the dawn of its 1980s “renaissance.” Handy was Richmond Public Schools’ first artist-in-residence and brought Eileen Southern, Mary Lou Williams, and Terri Lyne Carrington to lead workshops for the students and their teachers. Through an examination of primary and secondary sources including new oral history interviews, this article examines Handy’s manifold contributions to music education in and around Richmond, with a focus on how she helped construct a more inclusive and interconnected music scene.","PeriodicalId":186040,"journal":{"name":"Jazz Education in Research and Practice","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123955081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The classic methods of teaching jazz improvisation lean, in one way or another, on pattern-based learning. Relying on patterns ensures “appropriate” improvisation but is insufficient for creating a successful solo. In this research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with jazz educators to understand how they address the tension between pattern-based teaching and cultivating improvisational creativity.Our analysis of the interviews revealed several themes. Here we focus on exercises the teachers give to their students that constrain the student in her use of the different musical elements. This was done either through musical repetition (exact repetition of a phrase, or one that changes the phrase over time), or through constraining specific musical elements such as the rhythm, melody, number of tones per bar, etc. We posit that these exercises could help students through reduction of cognitive and attentional load and by better defining a musical goal. We claim that methods combining pattern-based learning and constraining exercises will help cultivate the combination of the creative elements, which create the creative solo.","PeriodicalId":186040,"journal":{"name":"Jazz Education in Research and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128603469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most notable contemporary jazz composers to draw inspiration from the natural world is the Brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal. Throughout Hermeto’s prolific career, he has written numerous compositions that were inspired by nature. This essay explores several compositions by Hermeto that were directly inspired by birds and examines the musicality of birds through the lens of evolutionary biology and aesthetics. To demonstrate the intricacies of bird songs, I will explore Charles Darwin’s theory of sexual selection, aesthetic mate choice, and his ideas concerning aesthetic evolution. By understanding the function of bird songs and how they have evolved, new insights can be gained that will offer a new way to appreciate Hermeto Pascoal’s music. I argue that the complexity of aesthetic mate choice is manifested in the intricacies of bird songs and has subsequently influenced the compositional output of contemporary musicians such as Hermeto Pascoal, which has led to a deeper appreciation of biotic art in the jazz idiom.","PeriodicalId":186040,"journal":{"name":"Jazz Education in Research and Practice","volume":"32 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114033065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To capitalize on this opportunity, instructors must understand the limitations of a traditional approach and realize that their student body does not enter the classroom deficient. Instead, a shift in perspective from fine arts to humanities allows students to bring their own backgrounds to a philosophical discussion that centers on jazz history. Using pluralism as a specific philosophical lens allows a diverse and inclusive understanding of jazz that can be extrapolated to a larger human experience. Instructors can use the breadth of pluralism at specific landmarks in their curriculum to allow jazz to be observed through sociology, culture, and the human condition. The exclusionary barriers formed from over-simplification can be eliminated by this cognitive understanding of jazz and instead students will synthesize the wide array of opinions associated with the music. By opening the philosophical door, students will have a more well-rounded introduction to jazz history that will serve them as musicians and human beings.","PeriodicalId":186040,"journal":{"name":"Jazz Education in Research and Practice","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126437734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
