Mary Lou Williams and the Roll of Gender in Jazz
Presented
by
DR. JOSIAH BOORNAZIAN
WEBINAR OVERVIEW
A presentation from the
Jazz Education Research and Practice Journal,
a publication of the Jazz Education Network.
In this webinar I imagine a pedagogy of place for the teaching of jazz improvisation. Placed-based pedagogy sees learning as occurring not just within classroom walls, but in the surrounding cultural and natural environment. My idea is that by making a space for place, we create opportunities for students to ground their creative development, enculturing their technical skills so that they have a spot from which to say something from a place deeply felt and personally meaningful.
