The Changing Attitudes Toward Consonance And Dissonance In Various Historical Periods, Edith H. Carter Jan 1945

The Changing Attitudes Toward Consonance And Dissonance In Various Historical Periods, Edith H. Carter

Graduate Thesis Collection

The problem of consonance and dissonance has intrigued and baffled theorists since the days of Pythagoras. There are many aspects of the problem which have never been satisfactorily explained. All are agreed, however, that consonances are those relations of pitch which can be expressed in small numbers. Why this should be so, no one has been able to decide definitely, at least up until Helmholtz wrote his Sensations of Tone.

Experimental Studies In Junior High School Monotonism, Lina Baldauf Knight Jan 1941

Experimental Studies In Junior High School Monotonism, Lina Baldauf Knight

Graduate Thesis Collection

The individual who lacks the use of his voice as a musical instrument lacks the natural, fundamental medium of musical expression. Not only does he lack the means for the closest and most direct relationship with music, but also there is a serious danger that, as a result, his whole range of musical appreciation will be impaired and finally obliterated. This is likely to occur because he does not have at his command and under his control this power which he so definitely needs. Children who are thus handicapped are often designated by the use of the word monotone.

But then what of the many children with a low "I. Q.?" Couldn't music be of benefit to them? Perhaps in many cases music …
