This unit introduces the student to the fundamental principles and techniques of arranging and their application within a jazz context. Basic music arranging skills will be developed through an examination of musical elements and key arranging concepts, with the practice of arranging music for a variety of small jazz ensembles being used to support and apply the underpinning theoretical constructs. Primary focuses will include: presentation and layout of music, understanding the technical limits and possibilities of the studied instruments, basic arranging techniques and tools of creative expression.
