Prior to this period, the piano education was of a nature of amateur music making, and learning to play the instrument was carried out privately. For less than 100 years the piano school of Kazakhstan has reached a high level: the names of Kazakh pianists - Guldana Zholymbetova, Zhaniya Aubakirova, Amir Tebenikhin, Yerzhan Temirzhanov, Gulzhamilya Kadyrbekova and others - are known abroad. Pianists perform in the most prestigious concert halls in the world. Key words: mortality rate, disability rate, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease.

  • Current Directions in Ecomusicology
    Current Directions in Ecomusicology This volume is the first sustained examination of the complex perspectives that comprise ecomusicology—the study of the intersections of music/sound, culture/society, and nature/environment. Twenty-two authors provide a range of theoretical, methodological, and empirical chapters representing disciplines such as anthropology, biology, ecology, environmental studies, ethnomusicology, history, literature, musicology, performance studies, and psychology. They bring their specialized training to bear on interdisciplin- ary topics, both individually and in collaboration. Emerging from the whole is a view of ecomusicology as a field, a place where many disciplines come together. The topics addressed in this volume—contemporary composers and traditional musics, acoustic ecology and politicized soundscapes, mate- rial sustainability and environmental crisis, familiar and unfamiliar sounds, local places and global warming, birds and mice, hearing and listening, bio- music and soundscape ecology, and more—engage with conversations in the various realms of music study as well as in environmental studies and cultural studies. As with any healthy ecosystem, the field of ecomusicol- ogy is dynamic, but this edited collection provides a snapshot of it in a formative period. Each chapter is short, designed to be accessible to the non- specialist, and includes extensive bibliographies; some chapters also provide further materials on a companion website. An introduction and interspersed editorial summaries help guide readers through four current directions— ecological, fieldwork, critical, and textual—in the field of ecomusicology. Aaron S. Allen is Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA, where he is also director of the Envi- ronmental and Sustainability Studies Program.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “ALAN LOMAX'S iPOD?”: SMITHSONIAN GLOBAL SOUND AND APPLIED ETHNOMUSICOLOGY ON THE INTERNET David Font, Master of Arts, 2007. Directed By: Jonathan Dueck, PhD School of Music The phenomenon of digital music on the Internet marks a turning point in the way human beings make, listen to, and share music. Smithsonian Global Sound is, variously: 1) a digital music download service; 2) the central hub of a network of digital music archives; and 3) the Internet branch of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. Like all things vital, Smithsonian Global Sound is also developing rapidly. This thesis synthesizes a brief history of the Smithsonian Global Sound project, explores some of the vital issues related to the project, and offers a series of observations and recommendations for the project's development. Tracing the roots of Smithsonian Global Sound back to early archival efforts by music scholars, Moses Asch’s Folkways Records, the acquisition of the Folkways catalog by the Smithsonian, and the development and launch of Smithsonian Global Sound, the project is examined as a example of applied ethnomusicology on the Internet. “ALAN LOMAX'S iPOD?”: SMITHSONIAN GLOBAL SOUND AND APPLIED ETHNOMUSICOLOGY ON THE INTERNET By David Font.
