Elliott Carter’S March: An Applicable Analysis, Troy W. Palmer
Elliott Carter’S March: An Applicable Analysis, Troy W. Palmer
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

Both its compositional and performance history are addressed. The compositional history starts with the writing of the first version of Carter’s music, Six Pieces for Kettledrums, written in 1950; next, the revision process is addressed, including the actual revisions seen in March.

Scales In Fives, John M. Cipolla
Scales In Fives, John M. Cipolla
Music Faculty Publications & Performances
Completed "Scales in Fives." This is a scale exercise book for clarinetists in two volumes-beginner and advanced. Chromatic, all major, melodic and harmonic minor scales are written out in five note groupings with repeat signs and rehearsal numbers for easy access in rehearsals and lessons. This format of learning scales has proven successful in my teaching at WKU and I am currently looking for a publisher for these books. A sample page is available for download on this site.

A Hybrid Curriculum Of Private And Group Lessons For College Clarinet & Saxophone Studio Instruction, John M. Cipolla
A Hybrid Curriculum Of Private And Group Lessons For College Clarinet & Saxophone Studio Instruction, John M. Cipolla
Music Faculty Publications & Performances
This model of teaching presents a curriculum that blends traditional one-on-one private college studio instruction on the clarinet and saxophone with small group lessons. Each student receives a weekly forty-minute private lesson and a twenty-minute group lesson. This hybrid model of teaching is an approach that, for the administrator, (1) increases student credit hour production because more students can be taught in fewer hours (2) addresses the increasing state pressure to reduce degree credit hours by including chamber music in the studio curriculum (3) supports retention efforts by helping freshmen acclimate to college through camaraderie developed in groups. And for …

The Journey, A Suite In Five Movements For Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, And Percussion, Erin Goad
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
The Journey is a musical suite for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and mixed percussion. Written for the composer's honors capstone project, The Journey describes stages of a mountain hike. Inspiration came from the composer's love of nature. Movement one, "Morning Sunrise," depicts preparations for the hike with a dawn valley scene. Eager preparation is shown musically by a constantly moving accompanimental pattern and a syncopated melody. This moves directly into the second movement, "Sunpatterned Leaves." Conga drums and a march feel paint the brisk trek through the forest. Movement three, "Darkening Pathways," journeys into the depths of an unexplored cave. Haunting …
