A Method For Automatic Detection Of Tongued And Slurred Note Transitions In Clarinet Playing, Whitney L. Coyle, Jack D. Gabriel
A Method For Automatic Detection Of Tongued And Slurred Note Transitions In Clarinet Playing, Whitney L. Coyle, Jack D. Gabriel
Faculty Publications
This study offers a simple method to characterize two transition types in passages of music in order to automatically distinguish slurred transitions from tongued transitions in musical settings. Data were recorded from musicians playing a clarinet with a sensor-equipped mouthpiece measuring blowing pressure in the mouth and pressure in the mouthpiece. This method allows for comparing transitions in different musical contexts, playing regimes, and between players. The method is highly reliable in automatically detecting transition types in recorded clarinet playing in both simple and more complex passages.

The phenomenon of the singing wineglass is familiar to many. Most people have run a finger along the rim of a wine glass with the right speed and pressure to get it to whistle a tone or perhaps heard a glass harmonica being played. However, have you ever noticed and wondered why the vibrations caused by a finger on a glass produce a pulsating sound, rather than a steady, constant-amplitude vibration? Further exploration reveals that the sound and pulsations of a wine glass vary depending on the way the wine glass is stimulated. In this paper, we investigate and model …

An Investigation Of Clarinet Playing Using A Sensor-Equipped Mouthpiece, Camille Adkison
Honors Program Theses
The purpose of this study is to characterize clarinet playing techniques through measurements of the pressure in the clarinet mouthpiece while a musician plays and to investigate the methods by which clarinet players transition from note to note, termed articulations. The results provide information about the clarinet-player system that can be incorporated in future models of the clarinet. The work reported here involves the use of a recent technological development, the sensor-equipped mouthpiece. Using the sensor-equipped mouthpiece, researchers are able to record pressure in the musician's mouth and the clarinet mouthpiece. Six clarinet players of varying experience levels were asked …

Practice Room Acoustics: What Matters To Musicians About The Practice Space, Yu-Tien Chou
Senior Projects Spring 2019
Why do people always prefer the practice room in the corner on the second floor than the others? What’s the reason why string players often go for the “dryer” room than the wind players? Wondering why brass players often occupy the resonant room? This paper is here to decipher all the mysteries behind all of the questions above by the acoustic analysis suggested by Bonnelo and the other supplying papers on sound absorbing materials. The question to be answered is how the rooms are different from each other in terms of their dimensions and damping surfaces. Eventually, construct a criteria …
