Developing Reading Skills Through The Use Of Music, Toni Baffaro Hobbs

All Graduate Projects

Music is a powerful language that can enhance a classroom. This project was designed to support early literacy by using music. Songs were chosen and activities designed to supplement a beginning reading program. A compact disc of the songs was created to use in conjunction with the activities. It is hoped that the utilization of singing and reading together will not only help children learn to read but also foster a love for reading.

Questions Concerning Music Technology: From Heidegger's View To Feenberg's Subversive Rationalization, Agostino Di Scipio

SWITCH

An analysis on Martin Heidegger’s perspective on heretical notion of music technology vs. Andrew Feenberg’s instance of subversive rationalization. Heidegger believes that technology should be external to the artist’s work. He furthers this notion by stating that tEchne is crucial to understanding technology. The article that explains Heidegger's perspective is concluded with an explanation of free relations to technology. Scipio questions Heidegger’s arguments by proposing a few counter arguments to Heidegger. The article explains Feenberg’s notion of technological determinism and subversive rationalization. Scipio then compares and contrasts Feenberg and Heidegger and provides his perspective on technological determinism and subversive rationalization. …

The Effect Of Lip-Slur Practice On Increasing Pitch Range In Brasswind Instrument Students, Robert L. Benton

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Lip-slur exercises comprise part of the practice routines of many professional and serious amateur brasswind players. There are several reasons why so many players practise lip-slurs. One of those reasons is the belief that lip-slurs contribute to the development of the brasswind high register. This study argues that while there is a vast amount of anecdotal evidence from many authors widely deemed to be influential in the form of method books or writings that lip-slurs can contribute to the development of the brasswind high register, there has been little research to support this widely held belief. This study used a …

Notes On Flute Music Of Boehm, Muczynski, Telemann, And Feld, Anna Lisa Davidson

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Theobald Boehm is most well known for his contribution to the structure of today's standard flute key system. He was born in 1794 to a goldsmith, who intended him to follow the trade. Boehm became skilled at gold smithing while also pursuing musical studies, using a flute to improve his weak lungs. He learned to play the flageolet and one-keyed flute in childhood. He grew unhappy with the construction of these and made himself a copy of a four-keyed flute by Grenser of Dresden. In 1812, he became principal flautist at the Isartor Theater. He was able to continue both …

Interpretive Implications Of Architecture In Musical Performance, Shane Fellows

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

The purpose of the present essay is to attempt the formulation of a plausible approach to the interpretive performance of music. Such, if successful, would be of special import in the effective and thoughtful rendition of all music; but especially in those numerous cases where application of performance practice is conjectural. This does not constitute an attempt at the definition of "authentic performance". Rather it is an effort in the direction of the establishment of defensible and especially of objective interpretive guidelines. By no means do I submit that this approach is the only plausible one; but the one which …

Music And War Throughout The Ages, Brent Thomas Yorgason

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

War has always had a powerful influence on music. At times it has the ability to motivate composers even more than love, religious belief, or money. Throughout the ages, both war and music about war have changed dramatically. The destructive power of war has reached its ultimate capabilities -- the potential to eliminate all life. As war has become more and more horrible, and has caused unprecedented amounts of needless deaths, the world's view of war has changed completely. This change in attitude toward war is evident also in the development of war music.
