"Assimilating
Jazz Education Methods for Traditional Applied Pedagogy
Nancy M.
Gamso is a professor of music and coaches woodwind chamber ensembles
at Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio. She is also a woodwind
doubler and is researching how to incorporate the techniques of jazz
study into traditional classical woodwind pedagogy. She can be

"Abstract
The
Aural Learning Project (ALP) was developed to incorporate jazz method
components into the author’s classical practice and her applied
woodwind lesson curriculum. The primary objective was to place a more
focused pedagogical emphasis on listening and hearing than is
traditionally used in the classical applied curriculum. The
components of the ALP for the applied studio are (1) listening to at
least two professional recordings of the works currently being
studied and analyzing the performances, (2) recording projects with a
written evaluation of the performance, (3) SmartMusic practice, (4)
memorization and transcription projects, (5) assigned readings and
research on works studied, and (6) composed and improvised warm-up
and technique exercises. This article is a report on the project and
a description of its implementation and assessment."
