    The Homeric Answer: How By-Ear Learning and Improvisation Enhance the Musicianship of Classical Performers Gwen Ellen Franz A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Melia Watras, Chair George S. Bozarth Patricia Shehan Campbell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: String Department, School of Music ©Copyright 2017 Gwen Ellen Franz !iii University of Washington Abstract The Homeric Answer: How By-Ear Learning and Improvisation Enhance the Musicianship of Classical Performers Gwen Ellen Franz Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Melia Watras String Department, School of Music Throughout the history of non-Western music-making, and common to most art music in cultures around the world, musicians have shared the fundamental practice of learning, transmitting, and composing their art by ear. For many centuries, Western European art music also took part in this practice. However, as a highly sophisticated notational system evolved, and through-composed music was prioritized, an emphasis in Western classical music on learning to play primarily by reading notation was established. Ironically, this has resulted in causing many classical performers today to find themselves with a limiting handicap: formally trained in an aural art, they often feel incapable of playing music unless they are provided with notation to read. They also have difficulty playing music of their own invention. In contrast, due to the different means by which the brain processes music learned by ear, musicians from oral or oral/ written traditions simultaneously nurture their potential to create their own original music through embellishment, improvisation, and composition.
  • Teaching Music, Learning Culture: the Challenge of Culturally Responsive Music Education

    Teaching Music, Learning Culture: the Challenge of Culturally Responsive Music Education

    Teaching music, learning culture: The challenge of culturally responsive music education Tracy Rohan A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music) at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. April 2011 ~ i ~ ~ ii ~ Abstract This research investigates experiences of music teaching and learning within culturally diverse school communities and examines the ways cultural diversity informs pedagogical practices in music education. The following key questions were investigated: In what ways is music education, as experienced by the participants, informed by or responsive to cultural diversity? What barriers to culturally responsive and inclusive music education are identified? What do students and teachers believe about content and pedagogy within a successful music programme? The project used a collective case study methodology and sought perspectives from teachers and students within high schools in New Zealand, Australia and the United States, each selected for participation based on its reputation for offering successful music education practice within a culturally diverse school community. The principal conclusions are that while most of the teacher participants articulated positive views regarding cultural diversity, as well as a belief that pedagogical decisions should not privilege Western musics or musicianship, student perceptions reflected a limited understanding of the global diversity of musical expression and experience. Most students expressed interest in participating in more inclusive, culturally diverse music education programmes. Key barriers identified by students and teachers to a more inclusive and informed educational response to cultural diversity were: assessment requirements, the limiting nature of school choral and instrumental ensembles, performance schedules, festivals and competitions, the conservative nature of teacher education experience for some teachers, lack of resources and professional development.
  • Adapting Copyright for the Mashup Generation

    Adapting Copyright for the Mashup Generation

    ARTICLE ADAPTING COPYRIGHT FOR THE MASHUP GENERATION PETER S. MENELL† Growing out of the rap and hip hop genres as well as advances in digital editing tools, music mashups have emerged as a defining genre for post-Napster generations. Yet the uncertain contours of copyright liability as well as prohibitive transaction costs have pushed this genre underground, stunting its development, limiting remix artists’ commercial channels, depriving sampled artists of fair compensation, and further alienating netizens and new artists from the copyright system. In the real world of transaction costs, subjective legal standards, and market power, no solution to the mashup problem will achieve perfection across all dimensions. The appropriate inquiry is whether an allocation mechanism achieves the best overall resolution of the trade-offs among authors’ rights, cumulative creativity, freedom of expression, and overall functioning of the copyright system. By adapting the long-standing cover license for the mashup genre, Congress can support a charismatic new genre while affording fairer compensation to owners of sampled works, engaging the next generations, and channeling disaffected music fans into authorized markets.

    A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What you are about to read is the book of the blog of the Facebook project I started when my dad died in 2019. It also happens to be many more things: a diary, a commentary on contemporaneous events, a series of stories, lectures, and diatribes on politics, religion, art, business, philosophy, and pop culture, all in the mostly daily publishing of 365 essays, ostensibly about an album, but really just what spewed from my brain while listening to an album. I finished the last essay on June 19, 2020 and began putting it into book from. The hyperlinked but typo rich version of these essays is available at: https://albumsforeternity.blogspot.com/ Thank you for reading, I hope you find it enjoyable, possibly even entertaining. bottleofbeef.com exists, why not give it a visit?

It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal Facebook page. Over the ensuing months it became quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what I think is a real art form, the album. It exists in three forms: nightly posts on Facebook, a chronologically maintained blog that is still ongoing (though less frequent), and now this book.

IV Abstract Live Performance, Touring and Music in the Digital Age The purpose of this research is to understand the importance and necessity of live performance to the music industry and the state of the music industry in the current digital revolution/era. What is still quite a “manual” aspect of the music industry, live performance and in particular touring, still figures quite heavily in the working life of musicians both major label and grass roots alike.
