The singer-songwriter, someone who writes and performs their own music, is an ever-present and increasingly complex figure in popular music worlds. The Singer-Songwriter Handbook provides a useful resource for student songwriters, active musicians, fans and scholars alike. This handbook is divided into four main sections: Songwriting (acoustic and digital), Performance, Music Industry and Case Studies. Section I focuses on the 'how to' elements of popular song composition, embracing a range of perspectives and methods, in addition to chapters on the teaching of songwriting to students. Section II deals with the nature of performance: stagecraft, open mic nights, and a number of case studies that engage with performing in a range of contexts. Section III is devoted to aspects of the music industry and the business of music including sales, contract negotiations, copyright, social media and marketing. Section IV provides specific examples of singer-songwriter personae and global open mic scenes. The Singer-Songwriter Handbook is a much-needed single resource for budding singer-songwriters as well as songwriting pedagogues.

Activating Diverse Musical Creativities

Teaching and Learning in Higher Music Education

Author: Pamela Burnard,Elizabeth Haddon

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing

ISBN: 1472589130

Category: Education

Page: 272

View: 6831

Activating Diverse Musical Creativities analyses the ways in which music programmes in higher education can activate and foster diverse musical creativities. It also demonstrates the relationship between musical creativities and entrepreneurship in higher education teaching and learning. These issues are of vital significance to contemporary educational practice and training in both university and conservatoire contexts, particularly when considered alongside the growing importance of entrepreneurship, defined here as a type of creativity, for successful musicians working in the 21st century creative and cultural industries. International contributors address a broad spectrum of musical creativities in higher education, such as improvisational creativity, empathic creativity and leadership creativity, demonstrating the transformative possibilities of embedding these within higher music education teaching and learning. The chapters explore the active practice of musical creativities in teaching and learning and recognize their mutual dependency. The contributors consider philosophical and practical concerns in their work on teaching for creativity in higher music education and focus on practices using imaginative approaches in order to make learning more interesting, effective and relevant.

Die Jahre 1965/66 markieren den ersten kreativen Höhepunkt in Bob Dylans Schaffen: Er schrieb einige seiner bekanntesten Songs wie »Mr. Tambourine Man«, »Like a Rolling Stone«, »Desolation Row«, »She Belongs to Me«, »Love Minus Zero«, »No Limit« und »Ballad of a Thin Man«. In dieser Zeit entstand auch »Tarantel«, eine Mischung aus experimentellem Roman und Prosagedicht. Als »Surrealismus auf Speed« und »fabelhafter Reise durch unser Zeitalter« wurde »Tarantel« nach seiner Veröffentlichung bezeichnet, »ein Narrenfest, lebendig und voller Tiefsinn«, »so melodisch wie wild.« »Das Buch hat weder Anfang noch Ende«, sagte Bob Dylan selbst über seine erste Buchveröffentlichung. Heinrich Detering ordnet Dylans schriftstellerisches Debüt, das zweisprachig auf Deutsch und Englisch erscheint, in seinem Vorwort in den Kontext seiner Entstehungsgeschichte und seines Werks ein.
