“Music Is The Instrument To Bring The Heart Of A Community Together”: Frederic Balazs And The Tucson Symphony Orchestra, 1952-66, Jackie Bodily Biggs

Theses and Dissertations

The audience for classical music is declining, according to data from the National Endowment for the Arts. In the face of such challenges, aspiring music professionals may find inspiration in the musicological illumination of pertinent historical case studies. This paper offers one such example via a foundational exploration of the musical career of Hungarian American violinist, conductor, and composer Frederic Balazs. Though lacking any dedicated scholarly literature to speak of, Balazs’s legacy as the first full-time conductor of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra (TSO) from 1952 to 1966 included establishing arts organizations and nourishing the classical tradition at its very grass …

Answers “Go By Water”: Felt Knowledge As An Alternative Epistemology In Othello, Annalisa Gulbrandsen

Theses and Dissertations

William Shakespeare's Othello is fundamentally a play about epistemology--how does one know what he/she knows amidst the sea of words, evidence, and misdirection? Traditionally, the problem of knowledge in Othello has been treated as an intellectual problem of the mind. However, this thesis argues that the play purposefully draws attention to the limits of what the mind can know by way of the eye (what is seen) and ear (what is spoken or heard), instead offering an alternative epistemology that is felt through embodiment. When Desdemona's words no longer have the power to affect what Othello believes, Desdemona's answers to …

Holding The Line: The Existential Threat To Dei Language And Values, Terrance Fitzsimmons, Larry Martinez, Jennifer Bishop, Darryl Rice, Florence Villesèche

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Purpose – This article critically analyses and critiques the operationalisation of the Trump administration’s anti- DEI policies on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the United States of America and beyond. It specifically examines the attempt to silence DEI scholarship and practice, assessing the broader implications for social justice and global progress towards equity. The article also positions these attacks as an existential threat to DEI scholarship, scholars and practitioners, with the potential to reverse progress made since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The article serves as a call to action, urging the …

The Scholastic Trombone Ensemble: Instructional Guide And Custom Arrangements For Secondary School Trombone Choir, Cassidy Clayton Shiflett-Cockrell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

ABSTRACT The trombone ensemble is an increasingly popular academic tool for young collegiate players to cultivate musicianship and ensemble skills. Because this setting exclusively uses trombones, it is excellent for training intonation, resonance, and overall blend. I was first introduced to performing in a trombone ensemble during my undergraduate studies at the University of North Alabama through a trombone quartet. The time I spent learning to listen and blend with my colleagues was foundational to developing the critical ensemble skills I still use frequently. Throughout my following studies at The University of Akron and the University of Memphis, respectively, the …

Math In Melody: How Music Strikes A Chord With Memory And Learning, Aidan V. Waters

Honors Theses

As a result of personal curiosity, this thesis seeks to understand the current status of music integration within educational settings, discussing its importance and potential impact. By considering existing literature, it analyzes music’s effectiveness in K-12 education, particularly within the mathematics classroom. Based on the current body of research, the study identifies three key features of music integration: its effectiveness as an energizer, a memory tool, and a means of creating structure within the classroom. Building on these findings, a proposed ten-day, music-integrated Algebra I unit on functions is presented, applying the research in a variety of ways. The unit …

Finding Artistic Wholeness In Stage Management: An Exploration Of Art Philosophy In Technical Theatre, Ronnie E. Avansino

University of Montana Conference on Undergraduate Research (UMCUR)

The idea and subject of this project was born out of how many people in my life have no understanding of what I am pursuing in my professional life, but even more so how the projects I have been working on for my academic career thus far impact my education. They hear that I am working towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts followed by an emphasis in Stage Management and they don’t understand how these two pieces fit together. However, while not inherently traditional, stage management is a career in the arts focused on logistics, but still is a deeply …
