    2020 The 2020 NAMM Global Report Provides Members with Industry Data to Guide Decision Making This copy belongs to Markus Theinert A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT/CEO The current economic and health situation reveals just how interconnected we all are. From trade to travel, our world has been turned upside down, but even as we grapple with change, one thing is certain: We are in this together. Regardless of political rhetoric, global supply chains and digital integration are here to stay. Our industry requires global growth to maintain our bottom lines, and data-driven decision-making will define the next century. While growth is never a straight line and there will certainly be bumps in the road, the trends and forces at play provide hope for a brighter, stronger future—one in which membership can power both a feeling of collectivity and the means to succeed. We believe that music unites us and brings out the best in humanity. In pursuit of this noble goal, NAMM is committed to providing tools to support our members all around the world. Whether it’s by offering business-building educational resources or connecting buyers and sellers, or through data analysis such as this report, we seek to empower you to make broad, economic decisions, while growing your network and skills. For this reason, we bring you the 2020 NAMM Global Report, capturing a snapshot of 28 markets. With 132 countries and regions attending The NAMM Show and international firms composing 32 percent of our total membership base, we recognize and value the need for a global industry perspective.

Doctoral Dissertations. 155. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/155 The Perception of Movement through Musical Sound: Towards a Dynamical Systems Theory of Music Performance Alexander Pantelis Demos, PhD University of Connecticut, 2013 Performers’ ancillary body movements, which are generally thought to support sound- production, appear to be related to musical structure and musical expression. Uncovering systematic relationships has, however, been difficult. Researchers have used the framework of embodied gestures, adapted from language research, to categorize and analyze performer’s movements. I have taken a different approach, conceptualizing ancillary movements as continuous actions in space-time within a dynamical systems framework. The framework predicts that the movements of the performer will be complexly, but systematically, related to the musical movement and that listeners will be able to hear both the metaphorical motion implied by the musical structure and the real movements of the performer. In three experiments, I adapted a set of statistical, time-series, and dynamical systems tools to music performance research to examine these predictions. In Experiment 1, I used force plate measurements to examine the postural sway of two trombonists playing two solo pieces with different musical structures in different expressive styles (normal, expressive, non-expressive).

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

  • A National Survey of College Level Percussion Teachers Regarding the Importance of Certain Characteristics of Percussion Materials in Beginning Instrumental Methods
    A National Survey of College Level Percussion Teachers Regarding the Importance of Certain Characteristics of Percussion Materials in Beginning Instrumental Methods Ronald George Horner Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance Division of Music Paschal Yao Younge, Ed.D., Chair Molly A. Weaver, Ph.D., Research Advisor Mary T. Ferer, Ph.D. Ernest R. Goeres, Ph.D Dan C. Armstrong, M.M. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2005 ABSTRACT A National Survey of College Level Percussion Teachers Regarding the Importance of Certain Characteristics of Percussion Materials in Beginning Instrumental Methods Ronald George Horner Teaching percussion instruments in elementary school settings presents unique challenges. Development of reading skills, musicality, technique, and listening skills are often cited as concerns. Materials selected by educators can facilitate or encumber the process. This study examined the characteristics of beginning methods materials from the perspective of college level percussion teachers. 269 teachers participated in a researcher-developed survey as a representative cross- section of institutions of higher learning including community colleges, baccalaureate institutions, and institutions with graduate programs. Results were analyzed from frequency distributions and manually generated stem-and-leaf plots. The survey examined respondent background and teaching experience, institutional information, and professional information. Also, respondents rated the importance of certain characteristics of beginning percussion methods materials. Respondents displayed a clear preference for materials that included many instruments from the percussion family. They indicated that method books should promote musicality. Most cited development of student technique as an important factor.

  • Symphony, “Implausible”
    Symphony, “Implausible” for large orchestra Kyle Gann 2014 Symphony: “Implausible” (3-2(EH)-2-2; 2-2-3; perc; vib; harp; pno; strings) What is implausible about my symphony, that I should give it such a title? First of all, it is in an idiom known in certain circles as postminimalism, and as it is the only postminimalist symphony I know of aside from Elodie Lauten's Symphony 2000 (which has only been performed once to my knowledge), it remains to be seen how well a symphony in this idiom will work. In part this means that each movement has an individual concept: the first movement's basis in the harmonic series, the second movement's layering of three tempos, the fourth movement's ceaseless 8th-note motion, and so on. The overall work is based on an earlier series of rhythmic etudes of mine for two pianos called Implausible Sketches, and it may have been foolhardy to base a symphony on rhythmic etudes. Also, and perhaps more importantly, "plausible" is a word I use to deprecate a certain kind of music, music that is merely plausible because it achieves a certain stylistic consistency without the composer having pushed it to a more surprising and creative level. I would like to think I pushed these ideas beyond the merely plausible. There are five movements, and only the final one is notably fast. That the first movement is longer and more complex than the other four is one of the piece's more traditional features. It is one of my many phase landscapes, with themes and ostinatos that recur at regular, though out-of- phase, intervals; the listener will particularly note four processional-like interruptions, equally spaced.
