Analyzing Recordings

This item is not in the library — it is a part of: C. Bergstrøm-Nielsen, Intuitive Music: A Mini Handbook.

The teacher or a participant takes home a tape recording and analyzes it with a goal that suits the group and the situation. If specific sections of the improvisation are to be referred to, then excerpts may be copied to facilitate their availability. If the analytic task is complex (as is often the case) and/or you wish to save time, during the improvisation you may note the time at important places. This exercise is good for highlighting the significance of the improvisation as a whole as well as the specific sections illustrated.
