About this exposition

The fascinating process of learning music improvisation is a journey that brings us back to the beginning of Humanity. Observing it and analyzing it from a pedagogical standpoint can have a beneficial impact to help students overcome cognitive biases, struggles, and problems encountered along the path. Transverally, as our knowledge of the nervous system improves, a new branch of neurology called neuropedagogy aims to help educators exploit our brain to design, create, and experiment with new teaching methods, boosting the learning process and creating a nurturing academic. environment. As science constantly advances, there is a need to update and upgrade our teaching methods considering the findings of neurology. Through understanding the importance of improvisation throughout history and the basic functioning of the human brain, by self-analyzing my journey as a musician and designing exercises based on my readings, this research is a first attempt to embrace an academic approach that meets neuropedagody along the way. Contrary to what I had expected, I came to the realization that cognitive biases and struggles are a fundamental part of the learning process. As a teacher, rather than look for strategies and ways to avoid our students to experience these struggles, we should provide the students with a nurturing and constructive environment, in order to unleash our possibilities to our full extent and create a fulfilling and healthy learning journey.
