In addition to my studies at FSU, I am deeply thankful for the support I continue to receive from my previous flute instructors. To my first teacher Sophie Kershaw, I am forever grateful for her sincere inspiration. It was through her example I fell in love with the flute. I am thankful for the encouragement from Dr. Carol Dale. She taught me to aim for the best and has always been my biggest supporter. To Dr. Lana Johns, I am thankful for her kindness and dedication to improving my musical abilities. Finally, I am honored to have studied with Joe Bonner a teacher who helped me grow into a professional flutist. I will forever be grateful and in their debt as they have influenced me personally and professionally. Furthermore, I am lucky to have had many wonderful mentors both in and outside of music that still support me to this day. Finally I would like to acknowledge my friends and family who have comforted and assisted me through my education. Your love and support has been felt during each step of the process. Each person has impacted and molded me to be the woman I am today. Thank you for the continued guidance and love through all the ups and downs. Most importantly I am forever in debt to my Heavenly Father who has given me the gift of music. I desire to encourage others through the powerful strength of music. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables ................................................................................................................................ vii Abstract ........................................................................................................................................ viii 1.

    THE COMMISSIONED FLUTE CHOIR PIECES PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE FLUTE CHOIRS AND NFA SPONSORED FLUTE CHOIRS AT NATIONAL FLUTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTIONS WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLUTE CHOIR AND ITS REPERTOIRE 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 Yoon Hee Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Karen Pierson Copyright by Yoon Hee Kim 2013 Abstract The National Flute Association (NFA) sponsors a range of non-performance and performance competitions for performers of all ages. Non-performance competitions are: a Flute Choir Composition Competition, Graduate Research, and Newly Published Music. Performance competitions are: Young Artist Competition, High School Soloist Competition, Convention Performers Competition, Flute Choirs Competitions, Professional, Collegiate, High School, and Jazz Flute Big Band, and a Masterclass Competition. These competitions provide opportunities for flutists ranging from amateurs to professionals. University/college flute choirs perform original manuscripts, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as the commissioned pieces, frequently at conventions, thus expanding substantially the repertoire for flute choir. The purpose of my work is to document commissioned repertoire for flute choir, music for five or more flutes, presented by university/college flute choirs and NFA sponsored flute choirs at NFA annual conventions. Composer, title, premiere and publication information, conductor, performer and instrumentation will be included in an annotated bibliography format. A brief history of the flute choir and its repertoire, as well as a history of NFA-sponsored flute choir (1973–2012) will be included in this document.

    INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IMPROVISED MUSIC SIXTH FESTIVAL/CONFERENCE Improvisation · Self · Community·World February 16-19, 2012 William Paterson University Wayne, New Jersey, USA Keynote artists and performers: Pyeng Threadgill & trio Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier & Jim Black Mulgrew Miller WyldLyfe Robert Dick & Tom Buckner Karl Berger with the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra And over 50 other artists presenting concerts, panels, talks and workshops! ISIM President’s Welcome ISIM President’s Welcome On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Improvised Music, I extend to all of you a hearty welcome to the sixth ISIM Festival/Conference. Nothing is more gratifying than gatherings of improvising musicians as our common process, regardless of surface differences in our creative expressions, unites us in ways that are truly unique. As the conference theme suggests, by going deep within our reservoir of creativity, we access subtle dimensions of self—or consciousness—that are the source of connections with not only our immediate communities but the world at large. It is dificult to imagine a moment in history when the need for this improvisation-driven, creativity revolution is greater on individual and collective scales than the present. Please join me in thanking the many individuals, far too many to list, who have been instrumental in making this event happen. Headliners Ikue Mori, Pyeng Threadgill, Wyldlife, Karl Berger, the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra, the William Paterson University jazz group, Mulgrew Miller, Robert Dick, and Thomas Buckner—we could not have asked for a more varied and exciting line-up. ISIM Board members Stephen Nachmanovitch and Bill Johnson have provided invaluable assistance, with Steve working his usual heroics with the ISIM website in between, and sometimes during, his performing and speaking tours.

  • Teaching Rhythm: a Comparative Study of Beginning Band and Solo Flute Method Books
    MITCHELL, AMANDA K., D.M.A. Teaching Rhythm: A Comparative Study of Beginning Band and Solo Flute Method Books. (2017) Directed by Dr. Michael Burns. 44 pp. Typically, teachers of private instrumental lessons and large ensembles rely on a method book to supplement instruction regarding the fundamentals of music. The method books chosen by these instructors differ due to the nature of the teaching environments. Numerous books have been written specifically for the varied structure of these learning environments, to address various philosophies and approaches. This led to the development of method books specifically used in either private lessons or large ensemble settings. One of the most integral elements of music found in these method books is rhythm. The purpose of this study is to present comparative data related to the content and sequencing of rhythmic instruction in beginning flute method books for both private lesson and large ensemble environments. Four books intended for each instructional setting were used to provide the data for this study. The comprehensive band method books analyzed were Essential Elements for Band,1 Tradition of Excellence,2 Sound Innovations,3 and Measure of Success.4 The solo flute methods analyzed were; 1 Tim Lautzenheiser et al., Essential Elements for Band: Comprehensive Band Method (Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Corporation, 2004). 2 Bruce Pearson and Ryan Nowlin, Tradition of Excellence: Comprehensive Band Method (San Diego: Kjos Music Press, 2010). 3 Robert Sheldon et al., Sound Innovations for Concert Band: A Revolutionary Method for Beginning Musicians (New York: Alfred Music Publishing Co., Inc., 2010). 4 Deborah A.

Playing the full range of flutes, from the giant, stand-up contrabass flute through bass flutes in F and C, alto flute, concert flute and piccolos in Ab and C, Dick has performed his music throughout the United States, Europe and Japan. Mr. Dick moved from New York to Switzerland in 1992 and lives with his wife, Regula Muller, in Lucerne. He received the Lucerne Music Prize in 1996 and was commissioned to compose a piece for flute and piano. Entitled Life Concert,this work was premiered in 1997.
