  • Reading List (PDF)
    SELECTED READING SUGGESTIONS Introduction This is a selective reading list, designed to provide helpful support to diploma candidates in their preparation and to give access to the bibliographies found in the books listed for those interested in taking their studies further. General histories of music, dictionaries, encyclopedias and biographies of composers have not been included. The list begins with general books, and is then followed by listings relating to each subject-line: Directing, Performing and Teaching. While we have distinguished between these subject-lines, many books will inevitably cover areas relevant to more than one of them. Therefore to make the most of the lists, candidates are encouraged to look beyond their specific area. For example, a flute teacher should not just look at the 'Teaching-Flute' section, but also those entitled 'General Books', 'Performing - Flute', and 'Teaching - General'. Please bear in mind that at DipABRSM level you will not be expected to be as knowledgeable or as widely-read as an LRSM or FRSM candidate. Inclusion here does not indicate that the books are currently in print but all should be available in reference libraries. We hope to keep these lists updated and should you know of a book which you think ought to be included because of its specific relevance to part of the ABRSM Diploma Syllabus, then please send full details, including ISBN number, to Dr. Nigel Scaife ([email protected]) at the Board's London office.

  • Summer Camps, Institutes & Programs
    2021 Guide to SUMMER CAMPS, INSTITUTES & PROGRAMS November 2020 Editor’s Note 2021 Guide to Summer 2021 promises to be intense. By then, having spent well over a year in a holding pattern while waiting (hoping, praying) for COVID-19 to dissipate, artists and their audiences will be hungry for the opportunity to perform, rehearse, teach, and/or listen to live music in a SUMMER CAMPS, shared environment. Fortunately, there are many opportunities being planned, and our annual INSTITUTES & PROGRAMS guide to summer camps, institutes, and programs lists nearly 300 possibilities. Keeping in mind that we assemble the information from these organizations months in advance to help you plan your summer experience, it’s always a good idea to check their individual websites before plunking down $5000 to sing in the South of France or, at the other end of the range of choices, signing up for a tuition-free youth orchestra in Los Angeles. As ever, the options are wide and enticing. As an avid (amateur) chorister, I’ve been eyeing Berkshire Choral International, which traditionally offers several major choral works to sing during specific time periods in specific locales with different conductors: Verdi in Italy, Poulenc in France, Janáček in the Czech Republic. The options for pros and/or serious students of the artform are also plentiful. Some programs specialize in strings only (check out Your Body is Your Strad—no audition required), some in bel canto (in Florence, no less!), some in marimba (Portugal), some in all disciplines (big guns, like Tanglewood and Aspen). There’s a two-week young women’s (ages 14-19) composers’ camp in Pennsylvania, a bilingual Thanksgiving camp in Québec, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t include the Beethoven Bootcamp in Virginia.

However, statisticians have largely ignored the many music catalogues, databases, dictionaries, encyclopedias, lists and other datasets compiled by institutions and individuals over the last few centuries. Such datasets present fascinating historical snapshots of the musical world, and statistical analysis of them can reveal much about the changing characteristics of the population of musical works and their composers, and about the datasets and their compilers. In this thesis, statistical methodologies have been applied to several case studies covering, among other things, music publishing and recording, composers’ migration patterns, nineteenth-century biographical dictionaries, and trends in key and time signatures.
