Season 2 Episode #1

 

Title: The Non-Linear Path


Guest: Senior Lecturer Andrea Keller, Head of Jazz and Improvisation at the University of Melbourne (MCM)


Overview

This conversation with Senior Lecturer Andrea Keller focuses on the topics of composition and music theory in the jazz improvisation tertiary context in which she teaches. Formal and interpretive methods used to nurture the development of individual student practitioners under her tutelage are discussed. Andrea also discusses herself as a former student and the path that led her to becoming a prominent composer.

Throughout the conversation, Andrea reflects on the different stages of her career, the elements that contributed to her evolution, the strategies she employs in her collaborations, the challenges she faces in her compositional process and the non-lineal nature of personal artistic development. At length, Andrea also offers insights into her approach to composition, recurring proclivities, elements that require conscious development, and the developmental approaches she applies to her compositions after the initial material is composed and distributed.
