    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.

    Real-Time Composition As a Strategy for the 21St Century Composer

    Escola Superior de Música e das Artes do Espectáculo Real-Time Composition as a Strategy for the 21st Century Composer Óscar Rodrigues A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Composition and Music Theory supervised by Prof. Dimitris Andrikopoulos September 27, 2016 Abstract Real-Time Composition, despite being a term commonly used in computer music and free improvisation circles, is also one whose definition is not clear. This dissertation aims to, in seeking and attempting its conceptualisation, permit a deeper look at the core of the activity of western classical music making. By discussing the concepts and current views on composition, improvisation, musical work, interpretation and performance, we will propose a working definition that will later serve as a model for music making; one that involves both the composer and performers, influenced by their context, as creators. This model borrows heavily from Walter Thompson’s Soundpainting technique. We will then analyse the outcome of three different concerts, of increasing complexity and level of control, that resulted from the previous discussion and end by concluding that Real-Time Composition is, in fact, fundamentally different from improvisation, and an extension of western classical music practice. Keywords: real-time composition, improvisation, soundpainting Abstract A Composição em Tempo Real, apesar de ser um termo regularmente utilizado nos cír- culos da música electrónica e da improvisação livre, não tem uma definição clara. Esta dissertação tem como objectivo, ao procurar a sua conceptualização, perceber de forma mais profunda o núcleo da actividade produtiva da música clássica ocidental. Ao discutir os con- ceitos e entendimentos correntes de composição, improvisação, obra musical, interpretação e performance, será proposta uma definição operacional que irá posteriormente servir como modelo para a criação musical; este modelo envolve tanto compositores como intérpretes, influenciados pelo seu contexto, enquanto criadores.

If, after reading this material, you have any questions you may meet with either Eugenie Burkett, Coordinator of the Music Education program or your advisor. Please feel free to contact them at any time for an appointment. The activities of the Music Education program are designed to support the mission of the School of Music, the College of Fine Arts, the College of Education, and the mission of the University in general, by insuring that its graduates successfully meet the standards for effective teaching as prescribed by the Nevada School of Education at http://www.doe.nv.gov/. This will be accomplished by providing learning experiences incorporating classroom, laboratory, workshop, seminar, and field/practicum formats, which are designed to achieve the educational objectives. The standards are available at http://www.doe.nv.gov/standards/standarts.html. The curriculum for the Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Education at UNLV has two very specific objectives: 1) to help the student become an effective teacher in the music classroom through the acquisition of a basic traditional and contemporary knowledge, practical teaching techniques, and the opportunity to observe and work under successful members of the music teaching profession; and 2) to help the student become eligible for licensing to teach music in a public school. CURRICULUM The Bachelor of Music Degree with a concentration in Music Education requires 143 -147 credits for graduation. The minimum number of semester credits required for a bachelor’s degree for a student graduating is 120.
