    The Effects of Digital Music Distribution" (2012)

    Southern Illinois University Carbondale OpenSIUC Research Papers Graduate School Spring 4-5-2012 The ffecE ts of Digital Music Distribution Rama A. Dechsakda [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/gs_rp The er search paper was a study of how digital music distribution has affected the music industry by researching different views and aspects. I believe this topic was vital to research because it give us insight on were the music industry is headed in the future. Two main research questions proposed were; “How is digital music distribution affecting the music industry?” and “In what way does the piracy industry affect the digital music industry?” The methodology used for this research was performing case studies, researching prospective and retrospective data, and analyzing sales figures and graphs. Case studies were performed on one independent artist and two major artists whom changed the digital music industry in different ways. Another pair of case studies were performed on an independent label and a major label on how changes of the digital music industry effected their business model and how piracy effected those new business models as well. I analyzed sales figures and graphs of digital music sales and physical sales to show the differences in the formats. I researched prospective data on how consumers adjusted to the digital music advancements and how piracy industry has affected them. Last I concluded all the data found during this research to show that digital music distribution is growing and could possibly be the dominant format for obtaining music, and the battle with piracy will be an ongoing process that will be hard to end anytime soon.

  • A Case Study of an Award Winning Public School String Orchestra Program

    A Case Study of an Award Winning Public School String Orchestra Program

    A CASE STUDY OF AN AWARD WINNING PUBLIC SCHOOL STRING ORCHESTRA PROGRAM Wing Man Fu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2009 Committee: Elaine J. Colprit, Advisor Penny T. Kruse ii ABSTRACT Elaine Colprit, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the history, growth, and development of an award winning public school string program. This study provided a description of a model of an excellent orchestra program and produced a general benefit to novice teachers who are setting up new programs, and to music educators by adding to our knowledge of the unique characteristics of a successful string program. There were three major sections of discussion in this study: (1) preparation for setting up a string program; (2) delivery of instruction in elementary, middle school, and high school levels of the program; and (3) continued growth, development, and support of the program. This research was accomplished by analysis of the following data: (a) live observations of class instruction at elementary, middle school, and high school, (b) orchestra handbooks and documents regarding curriculum and other guidelines; and (c) transcripts of interviews with faculty from Upper Arlington City Schools. Results show that individual faculty qualifications and experience prepare them to teach all levels of string classes. Based on their experiences, they are able to create an organized curriculum, design goal directed instructional plans, teach effectively as a team, and sustain a successful string program. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr.

  • A Piece of History

    A Piece of History

    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.
