解放内在音乐创造力

Unlocking Inner Musical Creativity

在人类存在的漫长岁月里，过去上万年间，人类并没有音乐训练、也没有音乐理论知识、也没有事先编排好的共创音乐。直到近百年，人们才开始将创造音乐的乐趣限于受过训练的音乐家、理解音乐原理或知道如何演奏的人们。

For tens of thousands of years, human beings made music together with no musical training, no knowledge of music theory, and no pre-planning. It is only in recent history that we have begun to believe that music is something left to trained specialists, people who know how music works and who already know the songs.

我们大多数人都忘记了如何像我们的祖先那样——利用他们语言，身体的运动方式，以及周围环境的声音来共创音乐。这也是一个记忆的过程——记住如何将我们的身体与声音联系起来，将语言与旋律联系起来，将情绪充分表达，将并通过深沉而流畅的聆听方式相互连接。

Most of us have forgotten how to make music the way our ancestors did – using the inspiration of their language, the way their bodies moved, and the sounds of the environment around them to create music as a community. This is a course of remembering – remembering how to connect our bodies to our voices, connecting language to melody, and connecting to one another through a deep and fluid type of listening while expressing ourselves through our natural gift.

阿卡贝拉

A Cappella

阿卡贝拉即无伴奏合唱，其起源可追溯至中世纪的教会音乐，当时的教会音乐只以人声清唱，并不应用乐器。

A cappella music is specifically group or solo singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. It contrasts with cantata, which is usually accompanied singing.

教学内容

Teaching Content

1. 音乐的语言

the language of music

其实一个口语短语已经具备了旋律的基本要素——音调、轮廓、节奏和表达——而音乐与对话很想，但是是一段更加生动的对话。通过一些练习，我们学会了如何将我们的日常词汇变为歌曲，以及如何将这些歌曲变为令人难忘的旋律、律动和编排。

A spoken phrase already has the raw ingredients of melody – tone, contour, rhythm, and expression – and a musical counterpoint is nothing more than simultaneous speech, aka a lively conversation. Through a number of exercises, we learn how to turn our everyday words into song, and how to turn these songs into memorable melodies, grooves,and arrangements.   

2. 冲突&合作之乐

Songs of Conflict & Cooperation

如果你能动，你就可以创造律动。无论是工作歌曲、战争歌曲和舞蹈歌曲都是社会运动的表现形式。在这个模块我们围绕人类情感创作歌曲。将劳动的节奏变成了一首工作歌曲，将力量和恐吓的节奏和情绪变成了一首战争歌曲。身体运动产生了舞蹈的节奏和旋律，而我们可以通过把声音和身体联系起来，在合奏中创造出不可思议的、自发的音乐片段。

If you can move, you can compose a groove. Work songs, war songs, and dance songs are all expressions of communal movement. This module teaches us to build songs around tasks. The rhythm of a physical act of labor turns into a work song. The rhythm and attitude of strength and intimidation turns into a war song. A distinctive physical movement gives rise to a dance rhythm and melody. By connecting our voices to our bodies, we can create incredible and spontaneous pieces of music, in ensemble. 

3. 生命&灵魂之乐

Songs of Life & Spirit

如果你能感受和想象，你就能用你的情感来创造音乐。每一种文化都有他们特有的音乐，这些音乐与周围的有形世界和在之以外的精神相呼应。佛教的圣歌，美洲土著的雨舞，歌颂动物和自然的西非音乐，人类一直在寻求我们周围的声音以及内部的声音。在先前语言和肢体课程的基础上，本模块鼓励我们寻找超越自我的声音，并利用我们的声音将彼此与更大的世界相连。

If you can feel and imagine, you can compose emotionally. Every culture has music that speaks to the tangible world around them and the spirit beyond that world. From Buddhist Chants and Native American Rain Dances to West African songs celebrating the animals and nature around them, the human experience seeks to give voice to that which is around us and within us. Building on the previous work with language and bodily movement, this module encourages us to seek out sounds beyond ourselves, and to use our voices to connect one another with the larger world.

歌唱的好处

唱歌的乐趣不仅仅是欣赏你自己的声乐天赋。唱歌对健康的好处可能会让你想加入合唱团，或者马上开始上声乐课！如果是这样的话，不要犹豫，马上开始吧——尽情享受吧！

The delights of singing go beyond merely enjoying the beauty of your own vocal talent. All of these health benefits of singing may make you want to join a choir or start taking voice lessons right away! If so, don’t hesitate to get started: have fun with it, and do you what you enjoy!
