In support of this recommendation we present the following joint statement of evaluation to be filed with the dissertation. Kate Grieshaber has undertaken an investigation of musicians' complex motor activities, particularly two-handed performances of polymetric patterns found in music. Her subjects were highly trained percussiomsts and pianists. In addition to behavioral data, Ms. Grieshaber also obtained subjective opinions from each of the participants as to effectiveness and points of difficulty. What is especially important about this study is the use of computer graphics to reveal precise descriptions of performance patterns. Her data refine our understanding of the limits of timing control which musicians exercise during music performance, revealing that some performers demonstrate precision within ten milliseconds. She has demonstrated a clear understanding of the application of scientific procedures to musical problems. Her findings have import beyond music to theories of neural timing and motor behavior.

Date j University of Washington Abstract Polymetric Performance by Musicians by Kate Grieshaber Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James c. Carlsen School of Music This study measured musicians' ability to perform complex motor activities, seeking to provide empirical foundation for theories of neural timing behavior. In individual sessions, each of twenty-nine right-handed undergraduate or graduate percussionists or pianists performed three polymeters (2:3, 3:4, and 4:5) with two hand combinations (L:R, R:L) in six cuing contexts: (1) Uncued, without having heard the pattern, (2) Pulse­ with the first pulse of each measure provided, (3) Imitate 1-in synchrony with a computer-generated pattern heard over a loudspeaker, (4) Continue/Pulse­ after matching the pattern, continuing with the first pulse of each measure, (5) Imitate 2-again matching the pattern, and (6) Continue/Uncued-after matching the pattern, continuing on without cues. Tap evenness scores (standard deviation around each beat) served as the dependent variable. Factors found to be significant included hand (right more accurate than left), meter (fast more accurate than slow), hand combination (left hand performed slow meter least accurately), pattern (2:3 more accurate than 3:4, with both more accurate than 4:5), and cuing context (imitation contexts were more accurate than contexts in which first beats were provided). These effects, however, are affected by significant interactions of hand/meter and hand/meter/pattern. Very high and consistently accurate performance was observed, with many subjects performing with standard deviations under 10 milliseconds. Some musicians performed some contexts with near mathematical precision and others with systematic variation (non-random lags and anticipations). In post-experiment interviews, subjects were asked whether they had difficulties with certain aspects of performance (e.g., hand difficulty, changing hand combination, mathematically precise stimuli). Subjects also were asked about relative difficulty of polymetric pattern and performance strategy use. These reports corresponded closely with empirical performance data. Subjects reported using tactile, visual, and auditory cues and verbal mnemonics, and often reported switching between focusing on one meter or hand and focusing on the resultant rhythm of both hands together. Although high correspondence between subjects' reported cognitive activity and motor production was observed, more baseline data are needed before formulating models of rhythmic perception. Findings have implications for musicians (especially educators) and researchers in various fields examining neural aspects of motor behavior.

THE ORIGINAL AFRICAN MBIRA? h §§* ANDREW TRACEY ft may be possible to show, one day, that all the different mbiras1 of Africa are descended from one another, and that all stem from one particular type, which can then te assumed to be the form of the instrument as it was originally invented. I would like D present here some evidence to show that in one large part of Africa at least all the ■any types of mbiras can be traced back, with greater or lesser degrees of probability, IB one type which must, at least, be very ancient, and at most, if connections with, or distribution to other mbira areas of Africa can be proved, may be the nearest we will get to knowing the earliest form of the mbira in Africa. The area comprises most of Rhodesia, central Mozambique, and southern and eastern and parts of southern Malawi, southern Mozambique, and northern Transvaal, >m Zunbia, Sooth Africa. Or, to put it more simply, much of the lower Zambezi valley, with a spill ell ire ant towards the south (see map). tl On first considering the bewildering variety of different types of mbiras played in this m, taking into account the different reed arrangements, methods of construction, tone anilities and musical techniques, it is hard to find any consistent family relationships. Bat if only one feature is taken as the main indicator, namely the arrangement of the •otei in the keyboard, which, as it appears, turns out to be a remarkably constant factor, Kreral interesting and far-reaching relationships come to light.

  • The Lala Kalimba: the Correlation Between Instrument and Style
    THE LALA KALIMBA: THE CORRELATION BETWEEN INSTRUMENT AND STYLE by MARCEL VAN DIJK Introduction Just as I started studying ethnomusicology in 1979, Paul Berliner’s famous book, The Soul of Mbira (1978) was published. THe book not only demonstrated the relatively new concept of placing an instrument in its musical and social context, but also expressed to a large audience the author’s profound love and respect for a particular musical culture. THe records accompanying the book forever awakened in me the love for the lamellophone and its music. Once I got the opportunity to go to Zambia to conduct field research and stay with the Lala people for several months, I discovered much to my delight that the kalimba — the lamellophone found there — took an important place in the musical culture of the Lala. THe richness and variety of the music and the open-heartedness of the musicians turned out to be a revelation to me. Moreover, it became clear that through the kalimba other aspects of the Lala society could be exposed. THe Lala live near Serenje district, Central Province, Zambia. THe field work in question was carried out in 1981 in and around Chibale, a small town 40 kilometers south of Serenje. It was conducted together with my fellow-student Jan IJzermans and was part of a larger research project initiated by Dr. M.I. Mapoma of the Institute for African Studies in Lusaka. THe project goal was the documentation of the musical instruments, their use, and the corresponding musical types. During the field work two special subjects were taken in hand: the study of the Cibombe and Ipupo ceremonies, and the study of the kalimba.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.
