"A new educational situation" – perspectives on jazz musical learning in the Swedish jazz journal OrkesterJournalen 1980–2010
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Nordisk Musikkpedagogisk Forskning: Årbok. - 1504-5021. ; 18, s. 317-345
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article aims to mirror a time of radical change in Swedish jazz education through perspectives formulated in the jazz journal Orkesterjournalen. During the 1980s, jazz musicians are still typically viewed as self-taught; you learn how to play jazz through listening and through playing together in contexts where fellow musicians function as informal “teachers”. The growing formal jazz education is viewed with some scepticism. The music’s emotional values are emphasized rather than the intellectual ones, and warnings are issued regarding homogenization and “broiler mentality”.During the 1990s, self-regulated, curiosity-driven jazz learning is still in focus. However, there are now also new opportunities to profit from a long formal jazz education as well as an increasing amount of experiences that enable comparisons between Swedish and American jazz education. Based on such experiences, a richer discussion can be conducted about, among other things, the consequences of formal jazz education with regard to tradition and individuality. During the first decade of the new millennium, a Swedish jazz educational profile is appearing more clearly, focusing on the role of personal expression in jazz education, as well as on the role of jazz education for personal development.

Improvisational approaches to supervision dialogue
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Högre utbildning. - : Cappelen Damm AS - Cappelen Damm Akademisk. - 2000-7558. ; 7:2, s. 63-76
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The reflective processes in which supervisors and doctoral students indulge together may be improvisatory to an important extent. Based on a literature review and a small interview study, I argue that there are important similarities between musical improvisation and supervision dialogue regarding, for instance, the need for structure as well as continuous impulse fluidity, and the need for receptivity as well as initiative. In musical improvisation as well as in supervision, it is crucial to be able to relate simultaneously, by way of qualities such as openness, wholeness, and listening, to both internal and external impulses, to both structural and communicative aspects, and to both one’s own individuality and the tradition in which one is situated. In the concluding discussion, I identify a number of implications for the education ofdoctoral supervisors.

Ingår i: Beyond methods: Lessons from the arts to qualitative research. - 9789198229745 ; 10, s. 37-47

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter focuses on lessons from the arts to qualitative research, especially, what reflection on jazz improvisation may bring to qualitative research. One lesson concerns the dynamics of different kinds of authenticity. Just as jazz improvisation can be authentic in more than one way, so can research. Another lesson concerns the dynamics of observation and interpretation. Just as jazz improvisation can be viewed both as a response to external impulses and as a manifestation of internal gestures, so can research. A third lesson concerns identity. Just as the notion of changing narrative identity can be seen as key to jazz improvisation, so may an expanded notion of prolonged engagement emerge as highly relevant to qualitative research processes. A fourth lesson concerns the dynamics of improvisation and composition. Just as jazz can be seen as process rather than product, so may research.
