  • Listening to String Sound: a Pedagogical Approach To
    LISTENING TO STRING SOUND: A PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH TO EXPLORING THE COMPLEXITIES OF VIOLA TONE PRODUCTION by MARIA KINDT (Under the Direction of Maggie Snyder) ABSTRACT String tone acoustics is a topic that has been largely overlooked in pedagogical settings. This document aims to illuminate the benefits of a general knowledge of practical acoustic science to inform teaching and performance practice. With an emphasis on viola tone production, the document introduces aspects of current physical science and psychoacoustics, combined with established pedagogy to help students and teachers gain a richer and more comprehensive view into aspects of tone production. The document serves as a guide to demonstrate areas where knowledge of the practical science can improve on playing technique and listening skills. The document is divided into three main sections and is framed in a way that is useful for beginning, intermediate, and advanced string students. The first section introduces basic principles of sound, further delving into complex string tone and the mechanism of the violin and viola. The second section focuses on psychoacoustics and how it relates to the interpretation of string sound. The third section covers some of the pedagogical applications of the practical science in performance practice. A sampling of spectral analysis throughout the document demonstrates visually some of the relevant topics. Exercises for informing intonation practices utilizing combination tones are also included.

    An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English Excerpted from Word Power, Public Speaking Confidence, and Dictionary-Based Learning, Copyright © 2007 by Robert Oliphant, columnist, Education News Author of The Latin-Old English Glossary in British Museum MS 3376 (Mouton, 1966) and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall, 1980) INTRODUCTION Strictly speaking, this is simply a list of technical terms: 30,680 of them presented in an alphabetical sequence of 52 professional subject fields ranging from Aeronautics to Zoology. Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version. So what’s here is actually an in-depth learning tool for mastering the basic vocabularies of what today can fairly be called American-Pronunciation Internationalist High Tech Latinate English. Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center. American dictionaries, after all, have always assigned their technical terms to professional experts in specific fields, identified those experts in print, and in effect held them responsible for the accuracy and comprehensiveness of each entry. Even more important, the entries themselves offer learners a complete sketch of each target word (headword). Memorization. For professionals, memorization is a basic career requirement. Any physician will tell you how much of it is called for in medical school and how hard it is, thanks to thousands of strange, exotic shapes like <myocardium> that have to be taken apart in the mind and reassembled like pieces of an unpronounceable jigsaw puzzle.

  • Antique Equipment 1932
    Antique Equipment 1932 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS 1 9 3 2 0 Antique Equipment 1932 FOREWORD The Government College (Autonomous) was established in the year 1853 as a Zilla school and upgraded to provincial school in 1868, later it acquired status of a Second Grade College in 1873. Initially in 1891, it was affiliated to the Madras University and later it was affiliated to Andhra University in 1926. In 1930 the college started under graduate Course (B.Sc.,) with Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry as a stream and the department of Physics was established in 1930. At that time these equipment’s were brought from different countries like New Zealand, America, England, Japan, and Sweden. They were showcased in spe- cially designed “Teak Wood” boxes. Majority of the instruments and lab equipment are still under good working condition. We have one of the earliest known references to “LODESTONE” to study the magnetic properties. There is equipment which was made in 15th century namely “MARINE CHRONOMETER” used to measure accurately the time of a known fixed location which is particularly important for navigation. There exists a device namely “FIVE NEEDLE TELEGRAPH SYSTEM” which was developed by W. F. Cooke and Prof C. Wheatstone in 1837. We also have the first known practical telescopes invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century, by using glass lenses, found to be used in both terrestrial and astronomical ob- servations which were still in good working condition. Some of the mod- els like “SECTIONAL MODEL OF THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE”, “SNELL AND POWELL'S WAVE MACHINES”, and “GRAMOPHONE PORTABLE MODE”, “GILLETT AND JOHNSTON (CROYDON) TOWER CLOCK” are the ancient equipment listed gives immense practical approach to the students.

Put graphically, “discrete data” translates into dots or interrupted lines, while “continuous data” implies a curve. This would mean counting and measuring— how can these activities be relevant to music? Our initial association might be with computers, but it is not necessary to invoke that squishy entity called the “digital humanities” here.1 We fare better if we think of the discrete/continuous pair in the context of a different and seemingly outmoded approach to music aesthetics. Going back in time, beyond the influential Kantian tradition, we return to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) of almost a century earlier, the great rationalist and mathematician who invented calculus from his Hanover home at the same time as Newton in Cambridge.

    THE CATGUT ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER * Number 24 > published semiannually November 1,1975 Margaret Tucker Saunders, widow of Frederick A. Saunders, the founder of the Catgut Acoustical Society, died last May. Those of us who were privileged to know Professor and Mrs. Saunders and visit with them in the big house overlooking the valley of the Connecticut River or later on Silverwood Terrace in South Hadley, Massachusetts, will remember many good times evenings of music, early morning bird watching, discussions about violins -- and testing, as well as wide-ranging interests in community and world af- fairs. After Professor Saunders died in 1963, Mrs. Saunders continued to extend her warm hospitality to her many friends to carry on her work in local politics, conserva- tion and school affairs, based on her deep conviction that citizens should take an active interest in the democratic process. She founded the "Know Your Town"- group in South Hadley and last year received the annual Lions Club Citizen of the Year Award at a spec- ial town meeting in her honor. A great lady has gone and we shall miss her. C.M. Hutchins ****,***#************.*.**.* We note also the death on June 10 of Professor W.H.Van Zoest of Eindhoven, who contri- buted to our last Newsletter an English translation of "Paul Gerhard Schmidt's Violoncello Ingrandito" (by W.C.deJong).
