  • An Approach to the Pedagogy of Beginning Music Composition: Teaching Understanding and Realization of the First Steps in Composing Music
    AN APPROACH TO THE PEDAGOGY OF BEGINNING MUSIC COMPOSITION: TEACHING UNDERSTANDING AND REALIZATION OF THE FIRST STEPS IN COMPOSING MUSIC DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Vera D. Stanojevic, Graduate Diploma, Tchaikovsky Conservatory ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved By Professor Donald Harris, Adviser __________________________ Professor Patricia Flowers Adviser Professor Edward Adelson School of Music Copyright by Vera D. Stanojevic 2004 ABSTRACT Conducting a first course in music composition in a classroom setting is one of the most difficult tasks a composer/teacher faces. Such a course is much more effective when the basic elements of compositional technique are shown, as much as possible, to be universally applicable, regardless of style. When students begin to see these topics in a broader perspective and understand the roots, dynamic behaviors, and the general nature of the different elements and functions in music, they begin to treat them as open models for individual interpretation, and become much more free in dealing with them expressively. This document is not designed as a textbook, but rather as a resource for the teacher of a beginning college undergraduate course in composition. The Introduction offers some perspectives on teaching composition in the contemporary musical setting influenced by fast access to information, popular culture, and globalization. In terms of breadth, the text reflects the author’s general methodology in leading students from basic exercises in which they learn to think compositionally, to the writing of a first composition for solo instrument.

  • Music Associate of Arts Transfer Degree
    Music Associate of Arts Transfer Degree The Associate of Arts for Transfer (AA-T) in Music develops a well-rounded musician. Students who pursue this degree will have guaranteed admission to a California State University (CSU) campus upon successful completion of the specified program requirements. This degree provides students with transfer preparation and pre-professional training. Students should consult with a counselor to determine whether this degree is the best option for their transfer goals. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. To earn a music AA-T degree, students must complete the following Associate Degree for Transfer requirements: • completion of the following major requirements with grades of C or better; • completion of a minimum of 60 CSU transferable semester units with a grade point average of at least 2.0; and • certified completion of the CSU General Education-Breadth (CSU-GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) for CSU, which requires a minimum of 37-39 units. It is highly recommend that students complete courses that satisfy the U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals requirement as part of CSU-GE or IGETC before transferring to a CSU. Students planning to transfer to a baccalaureate institution and major in Music should consult with a counselor regarding the transfer process and lower division requirements.

  • Report of the President Daniel Sher Dean, College of Music University of Colorado-Boulder
    NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS OF MUSIC 2006 Annual Meeting Report of the President Daniel Sher Dean, College of Music University of Colorado-Boulder Last year our annual meeting centered on the issues of developing a positive future for art music, and we are continuing the theme this year. I chose this subject for my Report to you today, partly because it is surely one of the major challenges we face, and partly because I was inspired by Sam Hope’s beautifully concise and comprehensive paper, “Creating a Positive Future for Art Music,” which I read as a call to arms. In fact, I asked the NASM staff to place another copy of it in your packet again this year with the idea that you may find guidance and inspiration in it, as I have. My train of thought went this way: First, I wondered whether there is any point to considering that there is a cumulative effect to the activities and advocacy each of us engage in at our local level. And then, it occurred to me how important it might be to consider whether our advocacy role depends upon our abil- ity to understand the critically important, but often nuanced differences between music’s intrinsic and extrinsic values. This latter point seems especially important now, given the complex and often over- whelmingly commercial environment for messaging, branding, and marketing in which we live. I’ll frame these two issues by asking two fundamental questions: First, “What is our message?” Second, “How do we best advance it?” Given the challenges in messaging I referred to a moment ago, it seems essential that, first and foremost, we try our best to understand what comprises music’s intrinsic values, so as not to confuse them with extrinsic ones.

  • Exposure to Music and Cognitive Performance: Tests of Children And
    ARTICLE 5 Exposure to music and Psychology of Music Psychology of Music Copyright © 2007 cognitive performance: Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research tests of children and adults vol 35(1): 5‒19 [0305-7356 (200701) 35:1; 5‒19] 10.1177⁄0305735607068885 E. GLENN SCHELLENBERG http://pom.sagepub.com UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, CANADA TAKAYUKI NAKATA NAGASAKI JUNSHIN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, JAPAN PATRICK G. HUNTER UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, CANADA SACHIKO TAMOTO NAGASAKI JUNSHIN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, JAPAN ABSTRACT This article reports on two experiments of exposure to music and cognitive performance. In Experiment 1, Canadian undergraduates performed better on an IQ subtest (Symbol Search) after listening to an up-tempo piece of music composed by Mozart in comparison to a slow piece by Albinoni. The effect was evident, however, only when the two pieces also induced reliable differences in arousal and mood. In Experiment 2, Japanese 5-year-olds drew for longer periods of time after singing or hearing familiar children’s songs than after hearing Mozart or Albinoni, and their drawings were judged by adults to be more creative, energetic, and technically proficient. These results indicate that (1) exposure to different types of music can enhance performance on a variety of cognitive tests, (2) these effects are mediated by changes in emotional state, and (3) the effects generalize across cultures and age groups. KEYWORDS: cognition and emotion, cognitive ability, intellectual ability, Mozart effect, music and cognition, music listening The impact of music on listeners’ emotional state is well documented (e.g. Gabrielsson, 2001; Husain et al., 2002; Krumhansl, 1997; Peretz, 2001; Schmidt and Trainor, 2001; Sloboda and Juslin, 2001; Thayer and Levenson, 1983; Thompson et al., 2001), as is the effect of emotional state on participants’ performance on a wide variety of cognitive measures.

The present study attempted to evaluate the theory that listening to classical music enhances the learning and subsequent recall of new information. Twenty-four undergraduate students participated in this study. In a 2x2 ANOVA design, all participants were assigned to read a short passage while listening to one of four types of music: classical music at either high or low volume, or electronic music at either high or low volume.

Researchers at Appalachian State University believe that they've debunked what has been called the Mozart effect, a temporary increase in intelligence experienced after listening to a piano sonata written by the famed composer. After each listening session, the students completed problems which tested their spatial reasoning. This misconception, and the fact that the music used in the study was by Mozart, had an obvious appeal to those who valued this music; the Mozart Effect Tpb effect was thus widely reported.
