Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to better understand the usefulness of music technology in encouraging students to learn jazz improvisation. This study examined students' lived experiences as they created improvisations using technology, in order to credibly answer the central research question: How do students experience learning jazz improvisation with the assistance of technology?This inquiry suggested that students could develop advanced improvisational skills and knowledge when assisted by music technology. The study proved to be significant because it expanded on previous research and encouraged new ways of using technology in music education. A sampling of twelve (12) students from Northern Virginia Community College of Annandale, Virginia participated in this study. Subjects created original jazz improvisation literature utilizing an integrated software program. A Likert Scale, Pre/Post Test, Control and Test Groups, and Scored Test served as quantitative instruments to collect and analyze data for this research project. Information in the form of musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) files, digital audio workstation (DAW) files, and notation files may be useful to researchers of future inquiries about this topic.
