  • Harmony Search(HS) algorithm is an emerging meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which is inspired by the music improvisation process and has been successfully applied to solve different optimization problems. In order to further improve the performance of HS, this paper proposes a new method which is called Fast Harmony Search(FSH) algorithm. For the purpose, this paper suggest a method to unify two independent improvisation processes by newly defining the boundary value of a object variable using HM. As the result, the process time of the algorithm is shorten and explicit decision of bandwidth is no more needed. Furthermore, exploitative power of random selection is improved. The numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithm can find better solutions and is faster when compared to the conventional HS.

  • The 1900s in New Orleans, the harbor city, was indeed an era of confusion because there were various ethnic groups and races. Songs that had been sung by slaves taken from Africa, Black spiritual music, blues, British folk songs, French folk music, ballet music, Spanish dance music, and the march of military bands were mixed with Rag Time to achieve diversity. This developed the beginning of jazz. While swing jazz was most popular and loved by the public during the 20th century, the bebop preferred the small scale organization of musical instruments and developed as a form of jazz featuring the impromptu musical performances. Later, cool jazz, a new style involving the fast and complicated code progress, emerged with free jazz, which features the fundamental rupture from the tradition of the jazz. Miles Davis, who introduced the rock beat in jazz, started fusion jazz. Although jazz has been named differently depending on the era, the main attraction of jazz lies on improvisation. In other words, despite a small changes in code progress and rhythm, the most important thing the player considers is improvisation. Some famous players who lived in the same era followed the whole atmosphere but each had their own style. So, even when they did play the same song, they revealed their style in solo parts despite the same head.

  • The purpose of the present study is to explore an effective way of teaching English vocabulary which is geared toward improving students' English communicative competence. This study focuses on English verbs, which may be followed by patterns according to subcategorization. Learning verbs must include learning about patterns as well as meaning in order to improve the ability to use verbs receptively and productively, or communicative competence. On the basis of the language progression proposed by Willis (2003), a teaching strategy which helps learners learn English verb patterns effectively and systematically was proposed. The effect of the teaching strategy was investigated. The subjects of the experimental group who learned English verb patterns intentionally through the teaching strategy proposed by this study significantly improved themselves in the ability to use them receptively and productively. This result shows that the teaching strategy including improvisation, recognition, rehearsal, system building, exploration and consolidation is helpful to improving communicative competence.

  • 재즈음악의 즉흥연주(Improvisation)는, 재즈음악의 발생과 함께 발전되어 온 연주 형태의 하나이며, 재즈음악을 대표하는 상징적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 대부분의 사람들에게 즉흥연주는 재즈의 가장 중요한 요소로써 여겨지고 있다. 재즈 음악인들은 종종 '재즈'와 '즉흥연주'를 같은 의미를 가진 동일 어처럼 사용하기도 한다. 한편, 재즈보컬리스트들은 기악연주자와는 달리, 즉흥연주를 하지 않아도 된다는 인식이 있는 것은 사실이다. 그러나 그 중요성에 차이가 있을 뿐, 보컬즉흥연주 역시 재즈보컬들의 특성을 다른 장르의 보컬들과 구분하는 상징적이고 핵심적인 요소임에는 틀림없다. 컬리스트의 경우, 음악이론 외에, 즉흥연주의 선율을 가창하기 위하여 필요한 또 하나의 요소가 있는데, 이는 즉흥연주의 악구를 표현하는 수단인 스캣음절이다. 본 논문에서는 즉흥연주 선율표현에 많이 사용되는 음표들과 연주기법들을 중심으로 스캣음절사용에 대하여 연구해 보고자 한다.
