The Learning Screen

Fakebook

Notes Inventory = “Fakebook” (Wikipedia entry) » Instructions (page).

A fake book is a collection of musical lead sheets intended to help a performer quickly learn new songs.
Each song in a fake book contains the melody line, basic chords, and lyrics – the minimal information needed by a musician to make an impromptu arrangement of a song, or “fake it.”

The fake book is a central part of the culture of playing music in public, particularly in jazz,
where improvisation is particularly valued.

Inventory — “Fakebook” (notes on method & objects of study; credit/no credit, due periodically)
(from syllabus)

Blogging serves a key function in our learning process, as a manifest form of reflexive knowledge: compiling notes on “relays” for later application, recognizing relevant models from all of our databases, and testing new types of writing with media and web design. The “Inventory” of notes on “relay” techniques is the formal record for compiling “materials” and ideas for the projects, updated periodically.
