The Influence Of Performance Background On Instrumentalists' Ability To Discriminate And Label Cornet And Trumpet Timbre, Gary Compton
The Influence Of Performance Background On Instrumentalists' Ability To Discriminate And Label Cornet And Trumpet Timbre, Gary Compton
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This study was an examination of timbre discrimination and labeling, with specific consideration of the soprano-brass timbres of cornets and trumpets. This study sought to determine whether instrumentalists differed in their ability to label and discriminate cornet and trumpet timbres, and whether these abilities were influenced by the instrumentalists' performing instrument and years of playing experience. Wind, brass and percussion players (n=100) from existing instrumental groups in the Tampa Bay area participated in the study. These groups were collegiate trumpet majors from a large public university school of music, a collegiate wind ensemble from a private university, and a brass …
An Investigation Of The Effects Of Perceived Feedback Accuracy On Performance, Ashley A. Gray
An Investigation Of The Effects Of Perceived Feedback Accuracy On Performance, Ashley A. Gray
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This study built upon the theoretical feedback process of Ilgen, Fisher and Taylor (1979), as refined by Kinicki, Prussia, Wu, & Mckee-Ryan (2004), to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism underlying an individual's response to performance feedback. The feedback model implicates source credibility and the feedback-rich environment as critical elements in the process explaining recipient accuracy perceptions and responses. Thus the sign and perceived accuracy of performance feedback were investigated in a 3 x 3 (plus control) experimental design. One hundred fifty-six undergraduate students were randomly assigned to feedback conditions, in which they performed on a three-trial …
