A Guide for Creating Virtual Video/Audio Ensembles Written By
A guide for creating virtual video/audio ensembles Written by Ben Sellers With contributions from Wiltshire Music Connect Associate Luke Pickett, and Lee Hextall from Lincolnshire Music Service. This document guides you through the process of creating an audio or video ‘virtual ensemble’ performance. The process takes time and may require you to learn some new skills, but it is worth it: your pupils will develop their identities as musicians, a new audience will be reached, and the profile of the department and school will be raised. Get an idea of what is possible by watching this video from Wiltshire Young Musicians, created by Matt Thorpe. To create an audio recording you will need: • Sibelius, Musescore (free) or alternative sheet music software • Audio editing software (see below) • A Google Drive or Dropbox account. To create a music video you will also need: • Video editing software (see below) • A Youtube or Vimeo account to publish the videos online • Appropriate pupil filming consent. Each of the following steps is detailed below: 1. Choose your piece of music 2. Decide if you want to create an audio recording or a music video. 3. Create an arrangement 4. Send instructions, sheet music and backing track(s) to pupils 5. Edit together the recordings 6. Publish 1. Choose your piece of music Your chosen piece should be: a. Fairly easy to play, with no tricky rhythms b. Something popular that the musicians already know c. The same tempo throughout d. Less than 4 minutes in length Page 1 of 5 2. Decide if you want to create an audio recording or a music video.

A Collaborative Environment for Music Transcription and Publishing
82 Social Shaping of Digital Publishing: Exploring the Interplay Between Culture and Technology A.A. Baptista et al. (Eds.) IOS Press, 2012 © 2012 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved. doi:10.3233/978-1-61499-065-9-82 WIKI::SCORE A Collaborative Environment For Music Transcription And Publishing JoseJo´ ao˜ ALMEIDA a, Nuno Ramos CARVALHO a and Jose´ Nuno OLIVEIRA a a e-mail: {jj,narcarvalho,jno}@di.uminho.pt University of Minho, Braga, Portugal Abstract. Music sources are most commontly shared in music scores scanned or printed on paper sheets. These artifacts are rich in information, but since they are images it is hard to re-use and share their content in todays’ digital world. There are modern languages that can be used to transcribe music sheets, this is still a time consuming task, because of the complexity involved in the process and the typical huge size of the original documents. WIKI::SCORE is a collaborative environment where several people work to- gether to transcribe music sheets to a shared medium, using the notation. This eases the process of transcribing huge documents, and stores the document in a well known notation, that can be used later on to publish the whole content in several formats, such as a PDF document, images or audio ﬁles for example. Keywords. music transcription, Abc, wiki, collaborative work, music publishing Introduction Music transcriptions are most electronically shared is pictorial formats, as pictures or scans (copyright permitting) of the original music scores. Although this information is semantically rich it is hard to re-use or transform in automatic and systematic ways, without human intervention.

Music Software in the Technology Integrated Music Education
TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology – April 2016, volume 15 issue 2 Music Software in the Technology Integrated Music Education Sevan Nart Bartın University, Faculty of Education, Department of Fine Arts, Turkey [email protected] ABSTRACT The role of the teacher has changed as the traditional education methods, techniques and applications have left its place to the student-centered methods, techniques and applications along with the 21st century. Teachers are no more source and share the information but they do guide students to access information and manage the process. Today, it has become an inevitable requirement that a teacher who guide his student should follow technological developments in his field; master and use the technology in the classroom and integrate it to his lessons. Prensky (2001) who calls today’s students as Net Jeneration states that these students are all “native speakers” of the language of “digital” by spending hours per day with computers, internet, video games, IPhones, IPads and television and brands them as Digital Natives. This study aims to find out the software used and deemed to be beneficial at music education and the usage of the software in music education. For this purpose the publications, researches and internet sources of current literature were examined by screening method and the data obtained brought together and interpreted. As a result, it was determined that, there is a lot of software able to be used in music education and they provide an effective and efficient education process for both the teachers and learners. Based on these results what needs to be done on this issue was discussed and suggestions were made.
