ÖgeJazz Vibraphone In Turkey: A Pedagogical Approach(Institute of Social Sciences, 2017) Garagon, Ayberk ; Aji, Jerfi ; Music ; MüzikThe purpose of this thesis is to find out the ways how autodidact jazz vibraphonists learn their art. As part of the classical orchestra and jazz band, vibraphone is a relatively new instrument. It was developed in the U.S. in the early 20th century. The progress of jazz music and vibraphone continued parallel to each other. All of the early jazz vibraphonists were self-taught or had started their careers by playing another instrument. Today, there are not many vibraphone players and teachers outside the United States and Europe. Furthermore, the number of jazz vibraphone players in Turkey is much less than that. This leads to anyone who wants to learn this instrument to learn by themselves. However, learning an instrument alone is a hard task for most people. It is predictable that there are mainly two difficulties lying ahead for the self-taught jazz vibraphonists to overcome. First is to learn jazz harmony and jazz idioms, and the second is to learn the techniques of the vibraphone. Various educational materials can be found on these issues. I believe the most reliable source of information are method books that are written by specialists. Most of the written methods about jazz vibraphone and vibraphone techniques are recent, having been written in the past fifty years. To that end, I examined different types of jazz vibraphone methods. Also, with the development of the internet and the technology, new educational materials like apps and websites have emerged. I intend to provide a retrospective review of pedagogical materials for the vibraphone in this study. A substantial section of this thesis consists of interviews which were made by the author with Can Tutuğ and Alp Özdayı, two prominent jazz vibraphonists living in Turkey. Both of the interviewees are self-taught on jazz vibraphone. I intend to give a broad understanding of self-taught learning derived from their experience. In the light of the information gathered from the jazz vibraphone educational materials and interviews that have been conducted, it is seen that, even if jazz vibraphone methods are still valuable sources for self-taught musicians, new technologies became an integral part of their learning. However, the most important way of learning is a combination of listening, transcribing and studying jazz harmony.
