ÖgeAn Ethnography Of Free Improvisation In The Creative(Institute of Social Sciences, 2017) Aşkan, Aslı Balâ ; Reigle, Robert F. ; Music ; MüzikThere is a place for improvisation in any musical genres of the world. While improvisation means the most natural way to express through music, to some it means high levels of proficiency in music. However, the term free improvisation describes a different genre. The genre free improvisation has a unique approach to music. Musicians have a freedom from any predetermined features of music. Genres, styles, scales, rhythmical structures, playing techniques and many more things can be modified through musician's will. Originated from free-jazz, free improvisation is now considered as a different genre. After a brief introduction to definition of free improvisation, the thesis will focus on free improvisation from two different perspectives. At first, topic will be approached from ethnomusicological perspective. With observations and interviews with musicians and audience, the gathered data will be explained. Analysis of all the data has been made through a semiotic approach. Therefore, the semiotic analysis method of Charles Peirce from Thomas Turino's perspective will be briefly summarized. An example of semiotic analysis will be applied to a recorded free improvisation performance. Second approach will focus on free improvisation and music education relationship. For introduction, some known techniques with improvisatory sections by famous composers and educators will be explained. Main focus of the second section will be the queries. Visual and musical results of performance-based surveys will show how boundaries can effect on an individual's creative process. In the last part of education section, results from private piano classes that involve improvisatory sections will be explained. Results from 2 groups of students will be compared to each other, and to students in control group.
