Musical tones consist of partial-tones which inform both timbre as well as unique acoustic signatures.

The purpose of the study is to provide a framework toward the evaluation of the consonance and dissonance of chord voicings derived from the symmetric organization of the diatonic modes according to the cycle of fifths and the resulting bright/dark continuum. Presented here is an analysis of frequencies of …

This essay provides a review of concepts and findings from recent research in the psychology of expertise that are relevant to the unique difficulties of jazz trombone practice. An adapted framework is developed based on deliberate practice and motivation psychology concepts to help jazz trombonists and teachers design an effective, organized, and personalized system for skill development. This framework is applied in the creation of a syllabus for an undergraduate jazz trombone studio.
