ABRAHAM, Alina

Alina L. Abraham is an independent researcher, piano teacher and a musician from New Zealand with an interest in the texture of the pitched sound—the 'harmonic series' (HS) and its rich potential in generating scales and modes common to the Western canon, jazz improvisation and beyond.

Born and bred in Romania and drawing from Romanian musicology, Alina is trained in both the traditions of classical music and jazz, and explores the possible ‘bubbling’ pedagogies in assembling practice-based methodologies to uphold the value of creative spaces along the augmented scale and the exploration of the pitch class 014 - based motif(s).
