With Historical and Descriptive Notes by William F. Apthorp. PUBLISHED BY C A. ELLIS, MANAGER. A Remarkable Piano. The Mason & Hamlin Piano is constructed in one particular differently from any other : the strings are held by screws, not by pins. As a result, the Mason & Hamlin Piano does not require one-quarter as much tuning as any other piano made. This fact has been demonstrated by actual test, and verified by mechanics, tuners, and private individuals. Piano tuning costs money. It costs only one-fourth as much to keep a Mason & Hamlin Piano in tune as it does to keep any other in tune. Consequently the expense of keeping a Mason & Hamlin Piano is reduced to one-fourth that of any other. Catalogue and full particulars mailed on application. fflmmtctyxi&ia BOSTON. NEW YORK. CHICAGO.

  • Music Composition Pedagogy- a History, Philosophy and Guide
    Music Composition Pedagogy: A History, Philosophy and Guide D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Benjamin John Williams, M.M. Doctor of Musical Arts The Ohio State University 2010 Document Committee: Thomas Wells, Advisor Gregory Proctor, Advisor Donald Harris Copyright by Benjamin John Williams 2010 Abstract Music composition pedagogy is a complex field that seems to defy codification. The idea of the composer as a creative ‘genius’ that arose during the eighteenth and nineteenth century changed the field forever. This study aims to understand the historical divide between Music Composition and Music Theory and its pedagogical implications. Part I of this document is a history of music composition pedagogy that begins with the earliest mappings of musical knowledge as provided by Greek philosophy and continues to the present. Methods and modes of instruction are examined from a cognitive perspective to discern their effect on learning. Ultimately, the technical exercises that developed over time for the teaching of music composition were relegated to the domain of Music Theory apart from the creative field of Composition. Part II of this document includes a philosophy of music composition pedagogy together with a guide for practical application. Recommendations for change are made both for the teaching of Music Theory and Composition. Educational perspectives inform an examination of previous practices and provide guidance for informed pedagogical decisions. ii Dedication Dedicated to my wife, Emily. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisors, Thomas Wells and Gregory Proctor, for their extremely generous help in developing the ideas in this study as well as my own compositional ability.
