Journal Title: Edukacja Muzyczna - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
This article is to be considered a research report on the relation between stabilised musical aptitude and harmonic and rhythm improvisation readiness in students of Pedagogy in transversal research. Three tests devised by Edwin Elias Gordon were performed, the first being the Advanced Measures of Music Audiation meant to measure the stabilised tonal and rhythm musical aptitude. The second and the third tests measure improvisation readiness. In the case of rhythm improvisation, it was the Rhythm Improvisation Readiness Record, and for harmonic improvisation – the Harmonic Improvisation Readiness Record. The research was performed on a group of 869 students of Pedagogy with various academic backgrounds in Poland. The results clearly indicate that musical aptitude in the investigated group is at average and low levels. There are also significant statistical relationships between musical aptitude and improvisation readiness, especially the harmonic one.
