日本爵士鋼琴大師蟻正行義2026台灣國際爵士樂工作坊，睽違一年後再度於百忙中抽身來台、一月9日僅此一場！
主題：「『3』的奧秘 - 從美式音樂的歷史淵源中帶你掌握演奏與即興3/4、6/4、6/8、9/8、12/8等『搖擺三拍』爵士與黑樂經典曲」
Jazz Standards如《Someday My Prince Will Come》、《My Favorite Things》、《Alice In Wonderland》、《The Boy Next Door》等都是系出百老匯歌舞劇的華爾滋三拍歌曲；爵士鋼琴大師Bill Evans喜歡演奏的《Waltz For Debby》、《Emily》、《Very Early》、《How My Heart Sings》等，總是洋溢著一種優美溫柔卻又活潑慧黠的氣質；爵士樂名曲《All Blues》、《Footprints》、《Bluesette》、《Windows》、《Afro Blue》等都需要獨特的律動感受才能演得好演得巧...
蟻正行義老師說，三拍律動在美式音樂中有非常重要的角色扮演與傳承路線，一方面要從歐洲的古典與民間音樂大三拍小三拍去理解，另一方面又要熟悉非洲音樂獨特的三等分多重節奏“算法”，而啟彬與凱雅在台灣也一直努力在傳授著這樣的獨特律動，甚至像是黑人音樂當中的多種Soul、R&B樂風與源流中，也都有大量被歐美與日韓流行音樂吸收的實例應用，因此這次的工作坊主題，將非常實用，一次帶你藉由示範演奏與引導講解，掌握律動密碼！
每年三位資深爵士樂教育工作者都於東京與台北兩地，互訪講學與經驗交流，並接觸到更多亞洲各地的音樂學子，本身也是國際級爵士樂教育家的Yuki Arimasa先生，將再次帶來累積多年的心法傳授，以及不藏私的豐富經驗提點！多次來台的Yuki先生，已經相當了解台灣學生所需要的，現場啟彬老師與凱雅老師會同步一起翻譯並示範，這次你不用特別搭飛機出國，就能跟國際同步囉！
2026.01.09（五）07pm~09pm 台北爵士原力基地唯一一場
啟彬老師與凱雅老師之爵士原力現役學員享有優惠！也歡迎各界音樂人參與！所有樂器樂手與歌手皆可報名！場地空間有限，席次限額15名，額滿即停止報名，請及早完成報名手續，本次工作坊開放線上參與，可同步以Zoom參加與補看影片，影片保留一週
Yuki Arimasa簡介：
蟻正行義自小學習古典鋼琴，十歲開始自學爵士鋼琴，當他發現當時在日本沒有人能夠繼續教導他時，熱情與動力驅使他前往美國的伯克里音樂院，接受正式的爵士樂訓練。在伯克里音樂院中，他跟古典鋼琴教師Edward C. Bedner學習，也強烈地影響了他的鋼琴演奏風格，甚至讓他重新發掘許多古典音樂的寶貴之處。
畢業後因為傑出的表現，蟻正行義被母校延攬，在伯克里音樂院教授爵士鋼琴達八年之久，是第一位日本籍爵士鋼琴家在該當代音樂名校任教者。在美國的教學經驗，讓他接觸了來自世界各地的學生，也讓他對於爵士音樂教育，發展出自己的豐富經驗，也使得蟻正行義於歸國後，任教於日本東京首屈一指的爵士音樂學校 - 洗足學園音樂大學爵士音樂系。他也同時致力於日本國民教育的爵士音樂教育計畫。
蟻正行義目前除了以演奏家與作曲家的身份活躍於日本外，也擔綱諸多爵士歌手與樂手的專屬鋼琴手、編曲家與音樂總監，主要以鋼琴三重奏形式演出，並於亞洲各國指導許多針對爵士樂迷與年輕音樂家的工作坊與大師班，兼備傑出音樂家與教育家的優秀特質。

Japanese Jazz Piano Master Yuki Arimasa's 2026 Taiwan International Jazz Workshop: After a year's absence, he makes time in his busy schedule to return to Taiwan for a single performance on January 9th!
Theme: “The Mystery of ‘3’ - Mastering Swing Triplets in Jazz and Black Music Classics: 3/4, 6/4, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, and More Through the Historical Roots of American Music”
Jazz standards like “Someday My Prince Will Come,” “My Favorite Things,” “Alice In Wonderland,” and “The Boy Next Door” all originate from Broadway musicals as waltz-tempo songs; Jazz piano master Bill Evans' beloved pieces like “Waltz For Debby,” “Emily,” “Very Early,” and “How My Heart Sings” radiate an elegantly tender yet lively and witty spirit; Jazz classics like “All Blues,” “Footprints,” “Bluesette,” “Windows,” and “Afro Blue” demand a unique rhythmic sensibility to be performed with skill and finesse...
Mr. Yuki Arimasa explains that the triple meter plays a crucial role in American music's evolution and lineage. It must be understood through the lens of European classical and folk music's major and minor triplets, while also mastering the unique African rhythmic “Feel & Counting” of triple-division polyrhythms. Chi-pin and Kai-ya have consistently dedicated themselves to teaching this distinctive rhythmic approach in Taiwan. Moreover, numerous examples exist where elements from diverse African-American genres like Soul and R&B have been absorbed and applied within Western, Japanese, and Korean popular music. Thus, this workshop promises immense practical value, guiding you through demonstration performances and structured instruction to unlock the rhythmic codes!
Each year, three veteran jazz educators exchange visits between Tokyo and Taipei for lectures and experience sharing, connecting with music students across Asia. Mr. Yuki Arimasa, an internationally renowned jazz educator himself, will once again impart his years of accumulated wisdom and offer generous guidance from his rich experience! Having visited Taiwan multiple times, Mr. Arimasa deeply understands the needs of Taiwanese students. Local teachers Chi-pin Hsieh and Kai-ya Chang will provide simultaneous translation and demonstrations on-site. This time, you don't need to fly abroad to stay in sync with the international scene!
