Lowell Public Schools Lowell Public Schools Lowell High School 50 Fr. Morissette Blvd Lowell, Massachusetts 01852-1050 TO: Jeannine M. Durkin, Acting Superintendent FROM: Sharon A. Clark, Ed.D, Fine Arts Department Chair, LHS DATE: November 19, 2018 RE: Middle and K-8 Musical Instruments Report Attached is the overview of musical instruments in the Middle schools and K-8 schools of the Lowell Public Schools. In addition, each schools updated inventory is also included. As you will see by the report and following inventories, many schools have instruments and equipment that are not in good condition and many years old. Numerous teachers have sought out additional resources for their music classrooms through Donorschoose.org, Adopt a classroom and occasionally, a private donation. Middle and K-8 Schools Music Inventory Overview Through music education, students become fluent in the language of music as artistic, intellectual, and cultural expression. Performing, creating, and responding to music provide means for development and growth. As stated in the Every Student Succeeds Act, music is considered one of the many subjects that are part of a well-rounded education, providing all students access to an enriched curriculum and educational experience. Attached are the individual inventories from the middle and K-8 schools. In viewing the inventories, you will see there is a wide array of musical instruments and resources throughout the middle and K-8 schools of the Lowell Public Schools. In an effort to organize the vast collection of instruments and resources, I’ve grouped them into categories consisting of: non-pitched percussion instruments- o Latin o World drums o small hand percussion pitched percussion instruments – o Orff – xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels and o bells o Boomwackers recorders keyboards/pianos guitars Ukuleles orchestral – violins, violas, cellos multicultural instruments Band o Brass o Woodwinds o Percussion Additional resources choral risers CD/DVD/cassette/MP3 players microphones and cables music stands textbooks/supplementary books music software All schools except the Robinson have an assortment of non-pitched percussion instruments including Latin percussion - congas, bongos, claves, maracas, guiros, small hand percussion instruments - sand blocks, jingle bells, rhythm sticks and triangles that are well over 25 years old. In addition, several schools have a variety of African and World drums (djembe,tubano, talking and ngoma drums) many of which are in poor to fair condition. 2 In addition to non-pitched percussion instruments, there is a hodgepodge of pitched percussion instruments including Orff Instruments - xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels, in varying configurations. The vast majority of these instruments are very old (20+ years) and/or in poor condition or broken. Through a partnership and grant with Middlesex Community College, the Stoklosa school has a Cambodian Pinpeat Ensemble. Two schools report that they have recorders (Butler and Pyne) and are in fair to good condition. Many of the middle schools have digital piano keyboards that range from 5 years old at the Wang school to 17- 20 years old and broken or in poor condition at the Stoklosa and the Butler. In addition to the student instruments, the schools also have pianos, digital pianos or digital piano keyboards that are used by the teachers to accompany the students. Many of these instruments are in disrepair. Several schools have guitars, both acoustic and electric ranging in age from approximately 5 year old, acoustic guitars at the Stoklosa to guitars that are in poor condition and 20 years old at the Butler. Over the years, many schools have purchased individual assorted multicultural instruments including steel drums, kokirikos, shekeres, buffalo drums and zithers that are all relatively new and in good condition. Middle school students also have the opportunity to participate in the instrumental music program (Band) starting in grade five. Again, there is a wide range of band instruments at each school. The majority of these instruments are in fair to good condition and vary in age from new to over 25 years old. The inventories are also included here. While all schools have a mixed bag of resources and supplementary materials, there is a wide array from school to school. Additionally, sound systems and related equipment (microphones, cables, speakers) vary greatly from school to school as do additional electronics including CD/DVD/cassette and MP3 players.

  • Instruments of the Orchestra
    INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA String Family WHAT: Wooden, hollow-bodied instruments strung with metal strings across a bridge. WHERE: Find this family in the front of the orchestra and along the right side. HOW: Sound is produced by a vibrating string that is bowed with a bow made of horse tail hair. The air then resonates in the hollow body. Other playing techniques include pizzicato (plucking the strings), col legno (playing with the wooden part of the bow), and double-stopping (bowing two strings at once). WHY: Composers use these instruments for their singing quality and depth of sound. HOW MANY: There are four sizes of stringed instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass. A total of forty-four are used in full orchestras. The string family is the largest family in the orchestra, accounting for over half of the total number of musicians on stage. The string instruments all have carved, hollow, wooden bodies with four strings running from top to bottom. The instruments have basically the same shape but vary in size, from the smaller VIOLINS and VIOLAS, which are played by being held firmly under the chin and either bowed or plucked, to the larger CELLOS and BASSES, which stand on the floor, supported by a long rod called an end pin. The cello is always played in a seated position, while the bass is so large that a musician must stand or sit on a very high stool in order to play it. These stringed instruments developed from an older instrument called the viol, which had six strings.

    Tutti Brassi A brief description of different ways of sounding brass instruments Jeremy Montagu © Jeremy Montagu 2018 The author’s moral rights have been asserted Hataf Segol Publications 2018 Typeset in XƎLATEX by Simon Montagu Why Mouthpieces 1 Cornets and Bugles 16 Long Trumpets 19 Playing the Handhorn in the French Tradition 26 The Mysteries of Fingerhole Horns 29 Horn Chords and Other Tricks 34 Throat or Overtone Singing 38 iii This began as a dinner conversation with Mark Smith of the Ori- ental Institute here, in connexion with the Tutankhamun trum- pets, and progressed from why these did not have mouthpieces to ‘When were mouthpieces introduced?’, to which, on reflection, the only answer seemed to be ‘Often’, for from the Danish lurs onwards, some trumpets or horns had them and some did not, in so many cultures. But indeed, ‘Why mouthpieces?’ There seem to be two main answers: one to enable the lips to access a tube too narrow for the lips to access unaided, and the other depends on what the trumpeter’s expectations are for the instrument to achieve. In our own culture, from the late Renaissance and Early Baroque onwards, trumpeters expected a great deal, as we can see in Bendinelli’s and Fantini’s tutors, both of which are avail- able in facsimile, and in the concert repertoire from Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo onwards. As a result, mouthpieces were already large, both wide enough and deep enough to allow the player to bend the 11th and 13th partials and other notes easily. The transition from the base of the cup into the backbore was a sharp edge.

  • Instrument Descriptions
    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.

    RAST SOUND LIBRARY OVERVIEW Sounds of Cambodia is recorded in coordination with Cambodian Living Arts and leading musicians.Wide range of Cambodian instruments and vocals, most of them sampled for the first time in detail. The music of Cambodia is derived from a mesh of cultural traditions dating back to the ancient Khmer Empire, India, China and the original indigenous tribes living in the area before the arrival of Indian and Chinese travelers. Cambodian Art music is highly influenced by ancient forms as well as Hindu forms. Religious dancing, many of which depict stories and ancient myths, are common in Cambodian culture. Although being from deeply traditional and authentic roots, we were most impressed and pleasantly surprised with the usability of these sounds in contemporary context and for further sound design. We have created responsive playable solo instruments for Kontakt, endless patterns, phrases, words and more. Vocals, strings, wind and percussion instruments are available through Kontakt as well as WAV. We would like to thank Jaim Cleeland for having a key role as a co-producer and all musicians, technicians involved.

    Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Auditorium freersackler.si.edu/events Buddha Overcomes All Obstacles November 10, 2018, 2 pm Program Classical Cambodian Dance-Drama Buddha Overcomes All Obstacles This dramatic retelling of the Buddha’s determined search for enlightenment follows the Historical Buddha as he encounters the world outside his family’s palace, renounces secular luxuries, and resists temptations from an army of demons. Long performed in the Khmer court tradition, this dance-drama has not been seen on stage since the 1960s. For the Freer|Sackler performance, it has been carefully restaged by master musicians and dancers. Among them are winners of major awards from the National Endowment for the Arts as well as artists formerly with the Royal University of Fine Arts and the Royal Dance Troupe of Cambodia. They come to Washington, DC, from across the United States for this production, which is coordinated by Cambodian American Heritage, a thirty-eight-year-old Washington-area organization dedicated to preserving Khmer dance, music, and culture. Today’s performance is presented in collaboration with Cambodian American Heritage, Inc. (CAHI), a nonprofit art organization in the Washington area that has promoted the preservation, teaching, and performance of Cambodian traditional culture since 1980. The performance is presented in partnership with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and the Religion in America Initiative of the National Museum of American History, with support from the Lilly Endowment. This project also received Federal support from the Asian Pacific American Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. Background Siddhartha Kumar was born into the Sakyas (Kshatriya) caste in the capital of Kapilavastu located in what is now Nepal.

Since 2005, our organizations have collaborated on various projects related to multicultural education, including the educational card game “O’oh”, the digital game “SEA Journey”, as well as reading and audio-visual materials on folktales from Southeast Asia and Korea (the latter can be accessed at http://asianfolktales.unescoapceiu.org). Last year, we developed an educational book representing paintings from Southeast Asia and Korea that depict some of the local festivities and rituals shaped by our ancestors over centuries of cultural and historical development (the digital publication is available for download from the organizers’ respective websites: www.unescoapceiu.org, www.seameo-spafa.org and www.seameo.org). This year, thanks to the support of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, we sought the expertise of museum professionals and anthropology researchers to collect ‘everyday objects’ from Southeast Asia and Korea with the aim of developing an educational reference book that presents information on objects used in our homes and communities for our everyday lives.
