University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting EXPERT MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND DIRECTORS’ PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES TO INTONATION INSTRUCTION By JOSHUA MATTHEW DAVIS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Joshua M. Davis This dissertation is dedicated to my family: Vanessa Robert and Terry Nathan and Beth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge and thank the three extraordinary band directors who participated in this study. This project would not have been possible without you. I learned a great deal from you and hope that this report has a positive impact on younger teachers. Dr. William Bauer, thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with me in completing this project. Because of you, I feel confident in its quality. To my committee members, Dr. David Waybright, Dr. Megan Sheridan, and Dr. Anne Seraphine, thank you for your input and pointing in the right direction in choosing the right design. To my mentors Dr. David Waybright and Joseph Hermann, thank you for your tireless commitment in helping me develop my own musicianship. You modeled for me the vital importance of intonation, which inspired me to examine the topic. I am thankful for my friends, Dr. Marshall Haning, Dr. Cory Alexander, Jason Longtin, Chris Schletter, and Garrett Griffin who have provided endless encouragement and accountability in completing this project. To Elizabeth Schultz and Amanda Kastner, thank you for helping me refine my methods. My family has given me strength, courage, and motivation throughout my education. My parents, Robert and Terry, have always believed in my passion for music and have never faltered in their support. My brother, Nathan and his wife Beth have been sources of both encouragement and inspiration. Finally, and most importantly, Vanessa has been a constant friend through struggles and successes. Thank you for helping me be Brave. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... 4 LIST OF TABLES

  • Past Presidents Vol 2
    The American Bandmasters Association Past Presidents 2001-2016 by Victor William Zajec, 2000 (Chicago, IL, March 4, 1923 - Homewood, IL, January 26, 2005) Revised by Raoul F. Camus, ABA Historian, 2016 Past Presidents of the American Bandmasters Association by Victor Zajec, Honorary Life Member and ABA Historian, was published in 2000. It was as much a history of the organization as that of the past presidents, and contained prefaces by several ABA presidents—Bryce Taylor, Stanley F. Michalski, Jr., and Edward S. Lisk. Except for the biographies, most of this information is presently available on the ABA web site. The ABA Board of Directors decided against reprinting the book and chose to put the biographies of the past presidents on the website in chronological order Additional information provided by Vincent J.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Fanfare for the Common
    PROGRAM NOTES Fanfare for the Common Man (1942) Aaron Copland (1900-1990) The Fanfare for the Common Man was written in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under conductor Eugene Goossens. It was inspired in part by a famous speech made earlier in the same year where vice president Henry A. Wallace proclaimed the dawning of the "Century of the Common Man" in response to the US entry into World War II. Scored for 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, gong, and bass drum it is a fitting and inspiring opening for our tribute to the Greatest Generation. Symphony No. 5 in c minor Op. 67, Movement 1 (Allegro con Brio) Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Arr. Dan Godfrey The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven , Op. 67, was written 1804–1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies. [1] First performed in Vienna 's Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterward. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as "one of the most important works of the time". It begins by stating a distinctive four-note "short-short-short-long" motif twice. Since the Second World War it has sometimes been referred to as the "Victory Symphony". [2] "V" is the Roman character for the number five; the phrase "V for Victory" became well known as a campaign of the Allies of World War II. That Beethoven's Victory Symphony happened to be his Fifth (or vice versa) is coincidence.

  • Mordaunt Levien Tuning Chord Chart 1
    G B D# F# B D# The Mordaunt Confi guration To simulate what Mordaunt Levien’s 1825 tuning and capo confi guration would sound like on a modern 6-string guitar, you need 3 partial capos, and an unusual tuning. I have recently become very captivated by this, in spite of the clumsy appearance of all the capos on the guitar (see photo) I am arranging some Beatles songs and somewhat complex pop melodies that suggest themselves. As I explore the fi ngerings and scales. It is well worth the effort and when you start to explore it you begin to understand why Levien built guitars specifi cally for this. It makes you wonder if Levien and Light used the word “harp” to describe TUNING their instruments because this confi guration allows some very harp-like G B D# F# B D# playing styles. The chords and scales sound best when heavily arpeggiated, and this is a fi ngerpicker’s dream tuning. If you work at it, you can fi nd a OPEN STRINGS lot of harp-like melodic runs where the notes cascade from string to string G D F A C E instead of the stiffer sound of formal standard tuning scales. You fi rst need to use a partial capo to simulate the staggered nut which leaves the low string 1 fret longer than the others. I recommend tuning to G B D# F# B D# which will sound a C chord with the capo on the fi rst fret and allow you to play and think in C major.
