Oboe Master Class Aryn Day Sweeney Music for All Summer Symposium presented by Yamaha www.musicforall.org Oboe Master Class Aryn Day Sweeney Tips for Practice When learning a new piece: -Take note of the key signature -Play scales and arpeggios in that key -Look at music and take note of all the scale, arpeggios, and patterns you already know -Take notice of all exceptions to the standard patterns -Take notice of all the sections that repeat within the piece -Divide piece into multiple sections (from 5 notes to 5 measures) -Practice the sections from worst to best (may be out of numeric order); if section 5 is the hardest start with it and move toward the least difficult section. Hopefully in time the sections will change order, “leap frogging” so that no section is really that bad. -Practice transitions between sections -Learn the piece slowly with all the “extras.” (dynamics, articulation, phrasing) Metronome Method (designed to sneak up on the right tempo) -Intended to increase speed, not to make accurate -Establish a BASE speed, a tempo you can play everything at accurately -Increase tempo gradually from BASE speed with a Snakes n’ Ladders approach (poor performance, slow down and good performance, speed up) -Never practice more then 3 times on the same tempo mark -Practice with the metronome on various durations; the eighth note, quarter note, half note -Keep track of your personal best speed *When there is a problem the act of naming the problem is an enormous step forward in correcting the error. Then design a campaign to eliminate the error. *Practice difficult passage with the rhythms found at the end of the article for evenness, and speed. *Don’t practice what you’re good at because then you will never improve! If you always sound good when you’re practicing you are practicing the wrong things. *Practice performing, end each session with a run through of your piece without stopping. *Set goals for your practicing and a method for practicing to reach that goal. OBOE FUNDAMENTALS PUTTING INSTRUMENT TOGETHER: Remember to line up the posts without bumping anything, and not to hit the A flat key that bridges between the top and bottom joint. SWABBING YOUR INSTRUMENT: Do this after every time you play!!! Or else odd things may start to grow inside your oboe! Make sure before you pull the swab through that it doesn’t have any knots, otherwise it might become stuck inside. If it does become stuck inside take it to your music teacher or the instrument repair shop and have them remove it. Do not attempt to do this yourself by sticking funny things inside your oboe, you could damage the instrument. SOAKING YOUR REED: Only a minute or so in a decent amount of water, you can do this while putting your instrument together. Remember if you soak the reed too long it will be very hard and if you soak it too little the reed may crack! HAND POSITION: You should have your fingers rounded, not flat, because you will be able to play much faster! Watch yourself in the mirror to make sure you’re covering all the correct finger holes and have curved fingers! You should be able to feel the small circle in the center of each key with your fingers. EMBROUCHURE: This word means how the reed fits into your mouth and the muscles around your mouth. It should be like a whistle, not flat and pressing down in the middle like “mmmmm.” You should have a flat, long chin and your bottom lip should show a tiny bit. Keep your teeth an inch apart in your mouth and do not put too much reed in your mouth, play on the tip! AIR and BREATHING: Open throat and low breathing. You should fill yourself with air the way you fill a glass of water, from the bottom to the top. Your shoulders shouldn’t be moving, only your belly! Two full beats before you play remember to breath out your old air, then breath in the new air, and play! SUPPORT: Support is the feeling in your belly of pushing in and up, as if your belly button was being pushed in. You should never play a single note that is unsupported, focus on feeling your support when you do your long tones and warm ups. LONG TONES: Practice these every day. Hold any note you like for as long as you can (a minimum of 8 slow beats), without letting your air stop or the note have any wobbles. You want the note to be as steady as possible. TOUNGING: Say ‘ter’ not ‘ta,’ it works better for our reeds. Do not stop your air between notes, ha ha ha, do not do this! Keep your air going all the time, like a long tone, and just let your tongue interrupt the air slightly. The tip of the tongue should hit the very tip of the reed. PLAYING SOFTLY: To play softly on the oboe you never want to blow less air and stop supporting!!! You simply make your embouchure into miniature size (not smaller by pushing down in the middle because that would be biting and while you would play softer you would be very sharp as well). You must bring the corners of your mouth in toward each other in addition to pressing down in the middle (only a little bit!) in order to make your embouchure miniature and play softer. HALF HOLE TECHNIQUE: To use your half hole correctly, first make sure that you are only using it when you should be and that it is covered when it should be! Then simply make the movement to uncover and cover the half hole very firm and precise always keeping in contact with the key (never let your finger jump up off the key). OCTAVE KEYS: As with the half hole, make sure that you are only using them when you should be and that you are using the appropriate octave key for the note you’re playing! You can only use one octave key at a time not both together because this will be a very hard habit to break later on and it will slow down your technique!!! VIBRATO Vibrato is an important and indispensable ingredient to a mature oboists tone. The role of vibrato does vary between nationalities or “schools” of oboe playing and between players as well. Generally speaking, American vibrato is not strict and rigorous but flexible and fluid, with many changes in speed in order to create various shades of color and degrees of expressions. Many oboists replica their vibrato after a vocal vibrato, which is a vibrato that results from an established and capable tone production technique. Students generally reach a point when they both musically attentive and understand the concept of sir support, it is at this stage that vibrato begins to appear quite naturally. After this step, it is easy to cultivate and use vibrato to change colors in the sound. When given time to mature on its own vibrato tends to sound more natural and free, a part of the sound instead of an addition to it. If a student does not have a natural vibrato that “kicks in,” first work on musical phrasing and encourage them to color the sound and communicate a musical target in each phrase. Vibrato will often occur naturally as air speed increases and the student desires to create varied colors and shapes within the phrase. Use of the metronome to teach and/or refine vibrato: 1) With the metronome at 60, pulse and relax with your diaphragm using the syllable woo. 2) In order to develop a free, natural, singing vibrato pick any note; pulse first in quarter note pulses, then 8ths, 16ths, quintuplets, and sextuplets. After the group of sextuplets “turn off” your pulsation and let your vibrato free, finding your own speed. Note: the woo syllable sound become less violent as the number of pulsations per beat increase.

  • 1 Making the Clarinet Sing
    Making the Clarinet Sing: Enhancing Clarinet Tone, Breathing, and Phrase Nuance through Voice Pedagogy D.M.A 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 Alyssa Rose Powell, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Caroline A. Hartig, Advisor Dr. Scott McCoy Dr. Eugenia Costa-Giomi Professor Katherine Borst Jones 1 Copyrighted by Alyssa Rose Powell 2020 2 Abstract The clarinet has been favorably compared to the human singing voice since its invention and continues to be sought after for its expressive, singing qualities. How is the clarinet like the human singing voice? What facets of singing do clarinetists strive to imitate? Can voice pedagogy inform clarinet playing to improve technique and artistry? This study begins with a brief historical investigation into the origins of modern voice technique, bel canto, and highlights the way it influenced the development of the clarinet. Bel canto set the standards for tone, expression, and pedagogy in classical western singing which was reflected in the clarinet tradition a hundred years later. Present day clarinetists still use bel canto principles, implying the potential relevance of other facets of modern voice pedagogy. Singing techniques for breathing, tone conceptualization, registration, and timbral nuance are explored along with their possible relevance to clarinet performance. The singer ‘in action’ is presented through an analysis of the phrasing used by Maria Callas in a portion of ‘Donde lieta’ from Puccini’s La Bohème. This demonstrates the influence of text on interpretation for singers.

  • Musical Piano Performance by the ACT Hand
    2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation Shanghai International Conference Center May 9-13, 2011, Shanghai, China Musical Piano Performance by the ACT Hand Ada Zhang1;2, Mark Malhotra3, Yoky Matsuoka3 Department of Bioengineering1, Department of Music2, Department of Computer Science and Engineering3 University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Abstract— In the past, the music community conducted research on what makes music more musical or expressive. Much of this work has focused on the manipulation of phras- ing, articulation and rubato to make music more expressive. However, it has been difficult to study neuromuscular control used by experts to create such musical music. This paper took a first step toward this effort by using the Anatomically Correct Testbed (ACT) Robotic Hand to mimic the way expert humans play when they are instructed to perform “musically” or “robotically.” Results from 22 human subjects showed that musical expression contained a larger range of dynamics and different articulation than robotic expression, while there was no difference in the use of rubato. The ACT Hand was controlled to the level of precision that allowed the replication of expert expressive performance. Its performance was then rated by 17 human listeners against music played by a human expert to show that the ACT Hand could play as musically as an expert human. Furthermore, articulation, phrasing, and Fig. 1. The Anatomically Correct Testbed Hand rubato were tested in isolation to determine the importance of articulation over phrasing and rubato. This type of study will lead to understanding how to implement future robots to and legs to depress the pedals.

  • Musicians Column—Aspects of Musicality
    Musicians Column—Aspects of Musicality by Martha Edwards In this article, I’m going to talk about a simple thing that you can do to make you, your band mates, and your dance community fall in love with the music that you make. It’s called phrasing. Yup, phrasing. Musical phrasing is a lot like verbal phrasing. Sentences start somewhere and end somewhere, just like music. Sometimes they start soft, and grow and grow until they END! SOMETIMES they start big and taper off at the end. Sometimes they grow and get BIG and then taper off at the end. But a lot of people never notice that music does the same thing, that it comes from somewhere and goes somewhere. When you help it do that, you’re really sending a musical experience to your audience. Otherwise, you’re just typing. What do I mean by typing? I mean that, if all you do is play the notes, one after another, at the same intensity from beginning to end, you could play the notes perfectly, but your playing would be boring. You wouldn’t be shaping the phrase, you would just be sending out a kind of telegraph message with no emotion attached. I think it happens because playing music is hard, and it’s a big challenge just to be able to play the notes of a tune at all. When you finally get the notes of a tune, one after another, it’s a kind of victory. But don’t stop with just the notes. Learn to play musically! photo of Miranda Arana, Jonathan Jensen and Martha Edwards (courtesy Childgrove Country Dancers, St.

    University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Doctoral Dissertations University of Connecticut Graduate School 7-10-2013 The eP rception of Movement through Musical Sound: Towards a Dynamical Systems Theory of Music Performance Alexander P.

Doctoral Dissertations. 155. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/155 The Perception of Movement through Musical Sound: Towards a Dynamical Systems Theory of Music Performance Alexander Pantelis Demos, PhD University of Connecticut, 2013 Performers’ ancillary body movements, which are generally thought to support sound- production, appear to be related to musical structure and musical expression. Uncovering systematic relationships has, however, been difficult. Researchers have used the framework of embodied gestures, adapted from language research, to categorize and analyze performer’s movements. I have taken a different approach, conceptualizing ancillary movements as continuous actions in space-time within a dynamical systems framework. The framework predicts that the movements of the performer will be complexly, but systematically, related to the musical movement and that listeners will be able to hear both the metaphorical motion implied by the musical structure and the real movements of the performer. In three experiments, I adapted a set of statistical, time-series, and dynamical systems tools to music performance research to examine these predictions. In Experiment 1, I used force plate measurements to examine the postural sway of two trombonists playing two solo pieces with different musical structures in different expressive styles (normal, expressive, non-expressive).
