Setrtin^ent • Students continue protest Exam causes 'Rising Juniors' many problems By Altresha Burchett i New-s Writer Standardized tests are often rejected by those who are mo.st likely to take ihein — students. The academic challenge was presented to the students who began their road to higher education at Tennessee State University in 1997. However, the response was not successful. There were 10 dates posted in which the test would be administered to juniors. For example, the Humanities building had the announcement placed on every wall of each floor. Still, not all literature, language andphilosophy majors answered the call.

ANTLERS A Fashionable Musical For Young Voices by Teresa Jennings & Karl Hitzemann Everyone knows that all magic reindeer just want to fly, right? Or do they? This imaginative little musical dares to consider that maybe, just maybe, a reindeer’s career outcome doesn’t have to be quite so predictable. In fact, it could be very different. Such is the case in our story, where a few recent graduates of the School of Reindeer have realized that their true passions call less for flying, and more for drawing, sewing, and crafting. In other words, they want to be fashion designers. And not just any fashion designers – ANTLER fashion designers! With a little help from their North Pole friends, notably some elves and other reindeer, they decide to showcase some of their fabulous couture on the runway. Unbeknownst to them, Santa and Mrs. Claus just happen to catch some of the show and are very impressed. So much so that they invite the designers to create new antler fashions for the “famous eight” – and just in time to wear for their big night out! Designed for ease of production and flexibility, this delightful musical offers opportunities for creativity, imagination, and artistic expression. With five simple and memorable songs (and some action music), young performers will delight in the chance to not only create their own stylish antler designs, but to showcase them as they walk, strut, sway, and sashay across your performance area this holiday season.

  • Automatic Music Classification with Jmir
    Automatic Music Classification with jMIR Cory McKay Music Technology Area Department of Music Research Schulich School of Music McGill University, Montreal Submitted January 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. © Cory McKay 2010 2 Abstract Automatic music classification is a wide-ranging and multidisciplinary area of inquiry that offers significant benefits from both academic and commercial perspectives. This dissertation focuses on the development of jMIR, a suite of powerful, flexible, accessible and original software tools that can be used to design, share and apply a wide range of automatic music classification technologies. jMIR permits users to extract meaningful information from audio recordings, symbolic musical representations and cultural information available on the Internet; to use machine learning technologies to automatically build classification models; to automatically collect profiling statistics and detect metadata errors in musical collections; to perform experiments on large, stylistically diverse and well-labelled collections of music in both audio and symbolic formats; and to store and distribute information that is essential to automatic music classification in expressive and flexible standardised file formats. In order to have as diverse a range of applications as possible, care was taken to avoid tying jMIR to any particular types of music classification. Rather, it is designed to be a general-purpose toolkit that can be applied to arbitrary types of music classification. Each of the jMIR components is also designed to be accessible not only by users with a high degree of expertise in computer-based research technologies, but also by researchers with valuable musical expertise, but perhaps less of a background in computational research.
