  • 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.

  • Dynamic Generation of Musical Notation from Musicxml Input on an Android Tablet
    Dynamic Generation of Musical Notation from MusicXML Input on an Android Tablet THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Laura Lynn Housley Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Rajiv Ramnath, Advisor Jayashree Ramanathan Copyright by Laura Lynn Housley 2012 Abstract For the purpose of increasing accessibility and customizability of sheet music, an application on an Android tablet was designed that generates and displays sheet music from a MusicXML input file. Generating sheet music on a tablet device from a MusicXML file poses many interesting challenges. When a user is allowed to set the size and colors of an image, the image must be redrawn with every change. Instead of zooming in and out on an already existing image, the positions of the various musical symbols must be recalculated to fit the new dimensions. These changes must preserve the relationships between the various musical symbols. Other topics include the laying out and measuring of notes, accidentals, beams, slurs, and staffs. In addition to drawing a large bitmap, an application that effectively presents sheet music must provide a way to scroll this music across a small tablet screen at a specified tempo. A method for using animation on Android is discussed that accomplishes this scrolling requirement. Also a generalized method for writing text-based documents to describe notations similar to musical notation is discussed. This method is based off of the knowledge gained from using MusicXML.

This text was originally written for students at the Institute of Popular Music at the Uni- versity of Liverpool. It has, however, been used by many outside that institution. The aim of this document is to address recurrent problems that many students seem to experience when writing essays and dissertations. Some parts of this text may initially seem quite formal, perhaps even trivial or pedantic. If you get that impression, please remember that communicative writing is not the same as writing down commu- nicative speech. When speaking, you use gesture, posture, facial expression, changes of volume and emphasis, as well as variations in speed of delivery, vocal timbre and inflexion, to com- municate meaning.

  • Theory of Music
    MUSIC THEORY 1. Staffs, Clefs & Pitch notation Naming the Notes Musical notation describes the pitch (how high or low), temporal position (when to start) and duration (how long) of discrete elements, or sounds, we call notes . The notes are represented by graphical symbols, also called notes or note signs . In English-speaking countries, the pitch names given to a row of notes steadily rising in pitch are drawn from the the first seven letters of the Roman alphabet: A B C D E F G In the Netherlands, the letters A to G are also used, but otherwise the 'Dutch' system follows the 'German' system, so-called because it originated in Germany, which also uses H. Staff or Stave The note signs are placed on a grid formed of horizontal lines and spaces. This grid is called the staff or stave . The plural of either word is staves . Although, in the past, staves could have many different numbers of lines, today the most common staff format has five lines separated by four spaces and is know as the pentagram . When numbering the lines, it is a widely used convention to number them from the bottom ( 1) to the top ( 5) of each staff. The spaces between the lines are numbered too, again from the bottom ( 1) to the top ( 4). Redaction and Publishing Marzenna Donajski © Dolmetsch Music Theory and History Online by Dr. Brian Blood 1 Music is read from 'left' to 'right', in the same direction as you are reading this text. The higher the pitch of the note , the higher vertically the note will be placed on the staff .

  • MOLA Guidelines for Music Preparation
    3 MOLA Guidelines for Music Preparation Foreword These guidelines for the preparation of music scores and parts are the result of many hours of discussion regarding the creation and layout of performance material that has come through our libraries. We realize that each music publisher has its own set of guidelines for music engraving. For new or self-published composers or arrangers, we would like to express our thoughts regarding the preparation of performance materials. Using notation so!ware music publishers and professional composers and arrangers are creating scores and parts that are as functional and beautiful as traditionally engraved music. " .pdf (portable document format) is the suggested final file format as it is independent of application so!ware, hardware, and operating system. "ll ma%or notation so!ware has the option to save a file in this format. "s digital storage and distribution of music data files becomes more common, there is the danger that the librarian will be obliged to assume the role of music publisher, expected to print, duplicate, and bind all of the sheet music. &ot all libraries have the facilities, sta', or time to accommodate these pro%ects, and while librarians can advise on the format and layout of printed music, they should not be expected to act as a surrogate publisher. The ma%ority of printed music is now produced using one of the established music notation so!ware programs. (ome of the guidelines that follow may well be implemented in such programs but the so!ware user, as well as anyone producing material by hand, will still find them beneficial.
