- Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to explore how digitals tools can be used as part of teaching improvisation within an ensemble. The research methods used are experiments that examine five different exercises for improvising within an ensemble context and how they may be developed by the use of digital tools. The experiments have been conducted by us, the writers of this study, and they have been supervised by an observer. Apart from the experiments qualitative interviews have been conducted where our informants are teachers currently employed at Adult Education Centers as ensemble teachers all of whom reside within the pop and rock genres.

The research methods used are experiments that examine five different exercises for improvising within an ensemble context and how they may be developed by the use of digital tools. The experiments have been conducted by us, the writers of this study, and they have been supervised by an observer. Apart from the experiments qualitative interviews have been conducted where our informants are teachers currently employed at Adult Education Centers as ensemble teachers all of whom reside within the pop and rock genres.
Prior research within this field presented within the study defines the digital tools used within the experiments as well as two different pedagogical orientations pertaining to teaching improvisation within an ensemble and the use of digitals tools. The results of the experiments show that digital tools in some cases can aid in performing the exercises we examined, especially the exercises where we with the help of digitals tools could alter the other participants' sound in order to execute the goals of the exercise. The conclusion of our study is that the results point to digital tools affecting the individuals as well as the groups approach to improvisation due to a clear difference regarding creative character, group dynamic as well as how easy and intuitive the execution of the exercise was perceived by us as participants between the acoustic and digitally aided improvisations. The results from the interviews state that our informants mainly use digital tools for the purpose of showing examples of music when referring to teaching an ensemble, as well as documenting and sharing information with students and colleagues. Furthermore we can see from our results that our informants view digital tools as something they would like to use more in their ensemble teaching, but they feel that they currently lack the competence to implement digital tools to a larger degree in their ensemble teaching.

- Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur digitala verktyg kan användas i improvisationsundervisning i ensemble på folkhögskola. Forskningsmetoderna är experiment som undersöker fem övningar för improvisation i ensemble och hur digitala verktyg kan användas i dessa metoder samt kvalitativa intervjuer där urvalet är fem ensemblelärare som jobbar på folkhögskolor inom pop och rock. Experimenten har utförts av oss som har författat arbetet och experimenten har observerats av en observatör.

Litteraturgenomgången definierar de digitala verktyg vi har använt i experimenten samt pedagogiska förhållningssätt till ensemble och digitala verktyg. Resultatet av experimenten visar att digitala verktyg i vissa fall främjar de övningar vi har undersökt, särskilt de övningar där vi med hjälp av digitala verktyg kunde påverka varandras klingande resultat på ett mer handfast sätt. Slutsatsen är att resultaten av denna studie tyder på att digitala verktyg påverkar individens och gruppens förhållningssätt till improvisation då vi upplevde en tydlig skillnad gällande kreativ karaktär, gruppdynamik samt hur lätt och intuitivt utförandet upplevdes mellan de akustiska och de digitala improvisationerna. Resultatet av intervjuerna visar att informanterna främst använder digitala verktyg för att ge ljudexempel under lektioner samt för dokumentering och delning av information. Vidare så kan vi se att folkhögskolelärarna vi har intervjuat är positivt inställda till användandet av digitala verktyg i ensembleundervisning, men de upplever att de inte har tillräcklig kompetens för att implementera digitala verktyg i en större utsträckning i sin ensembleundervisning.
