An Analysis Of The Class Method Of Piano Instruction, Zoe Ann Abrahamson
An Analysis Of The Class Method Of Piano Instruction, Zoe Ann Abrahamson
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This study has analyzed the merits of class piano instruction for the purpose of suggesting effective curriculum and group teaching technics. When compared with the aims of private instruction, the goals and purposes of the class approach placed more emphasis upon group dynamics as a means of developing better musical understanding.
Suggestions were offered pertaining to grouping, class management, goals, approaches, and course content for pre-piano musicianship classes, for piano classes comprised of seven and eight year old children, and for adult piano classes. Graded lists of music materials were compiled as a guide for instruction. Desirable equipment and floor …

A Study Of The Esterification Of 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-Cyclobutanediol, Lewis Metzler Naylor
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The purpose of this research was to prepare, identify, and characterize 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,.3-cyclobutanediol bischloroacetate using 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol and monochloroacetic acid as starting materials. The synthesis of this diester has not been reported previously.
Catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions were attempted, with the uncatalyzed having, in general, the better yield. The diester, trans-2,2,4,4-tetrametbyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol bischloroacetate (mp, 103.5-104; n22, 1.516-1.520), was isolated from a mixture of the isomers. The trans configuration of the diester was confirmed by comparing known nuclear magnetic resonance spectra to that of the diester. Infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm functional groups. Standard analytical techniques were used to determine chloride …
