摘要 低音提琴這一項宜古宜今的樂器,無論是在文藝復興巴洛克時期的數字低音,或是古典時期交響曲式確立,或是浪漫時期管弦樂團的擴大編制、甚至是較少涵蓋低音提琴編制的室內樂,到現代的爵士樂中,低音提琴是扮演著甚麼角色、低音提琴演奏者對自己手上的樂器有甚麼樣的定位等等的議題在文中有所探究。 低音提琴是獨奏樂器,它的表現力在獨奏上,在近代突破了以往的技巧而有演奏新紀元。低音提琴更是合奏樂器,它的表現力在各種不同型態的合奏中,展現了它特有的穩定、敦厚、溫暖、圓潤的特質。 音樂的各項元素:節奏、旋律、和聲…以及樂曲本身的構成條件:作曲動機、曲式、時代背景、曲意…還有樂器演奏上的基本概念、技巧運用…等等,連結以上的各種要點作為低音提琴音樂教學的原則與方向;筆者以樂曲教學為範例去探討音樂學習者在音樂感知能力的發揮之重要性,以及在音樂教學的道路上給予自己更深切的提醒。
