Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to construct teaching strategies for selected skills and concepts in brass-instrument performance. The skills to be studied initially consisted of breathing, embouchure, sound production, and articulation; after research and analysis the skill of posture Haas added. The selected concepts were those identified by various brass authors as representing the elements of classical style; namely, "sostenuto," "accent," "staccato," and the "short accent" or "inarcato." While the brass authors also indicated the importance of tempo and dynamics to classical style, the latt

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 97-99.<br>This dissertation attempts to demonstrate the role the tongue plays in articulation in brass playing. It briefly examines oral anatomy, physiology and theories on motor learning, and describes the tongue's position in producing English speech sounds. It shows how these positions are used to teach different articulation techniques on the various brass instruments. Articulation styles and (tonguing) exercises, which could aid in the improvement of tongue articulation, are highlighted. It is hoped that these highlights will add insight for both present and future br

Abstract:

When assessing the quality of a brass instrument the player must consider a number of factors, the main consideration being the playability of the chosen instrument. The playability of an instrument is a broad term used to describe how well the instrument plays; this includes how in tune the resonant modes are, how easy it is to start and move between notes, how easy it is to bend notes and the degree of spectral enrichment during a crescendo that is able to be produced. The starting transient is known to be of crucial importance for both the musician and listener, and previous work in the fie

Abstract:

The concept of input impedance is a very useful representation of the resonance characteristics of an acoustic horn. A large part of this work discuses its theoretical and experimental determination. It is demonstrated that higher modes, waves with a non-uniform pressure distribution on the plane perpendicular to the axis of the instrument, should be used in the theory of wave propagation in musical instruments featuring a flared bell as an improvement on assuming plane wave propagation. The impedance at the output end of an acoustic horn is known as the radiation impedance. The existing metho

Abstract:

The acoustic impedance is a valuable parameter in musical acoustics. Information contained within this frequency-domain parameter can be used to determine the acoustical behaviour of a musical wind instrument: the notes at which the instrument will play; the ease with which a particular note can be played; and the timbre of the instrument. The time-domain version of acoustic impedance - the input impulse response - gives us information on how sound waves propagate within an instrument under playing conditions and how sound is radiated from the open end or from other holes in the bore.

Abstract:

As brass instruments evolved from crude instruments limited to only a few notes into instruments that could play melodic passages within the vocal range, they began to be paired with the voice. The development traced in this paper will focus primarily on the addition of brass instruments with a choral ensemble from the late Renaissance period through the Modern period. Insight into the historical use of brass and the evolution of choral and brass music allows us to better understand the genre and how subject matter, text, and/or the occasion for which the compositions were composed often influ

The purpose was to establish the stability of behavior of secondary string teachers. The research problems were (a) to establish the frequency of selected observable elements of content and instructional strategies; (b) to estimate the stability of observed teaching behaviors within and across rehearsals; and (c) to determine the stability of pacing within and across rehearsals. In conclusion, for the population observed, stability of behavior existed.

Abstract:

In today's rapidly changing performing arts market, trumpet players are required to be more versatile than ever. Trumpet performing jobs are diversifying and for a trumpeter, employment often requires the multi-faceted skill set that includes the ability to perform in all styles and settings ranging from jazz to classical, solo to large ensemble and brass quintet. As the demand for the brass quintet medium has grown, the study of chamber music repertoire has also become a common requirement in collegiate music programs. However, coaching in chamber music is limited, sometimes to as little as o

Abstract:

In 1995 Charles Timothy Sivils completed his study, "Notable Percussion Excerpts of the Twentieth Century Wind-Band Literature." Sivils' intention was to create a formal list of percussion excerpts from substantial, originally composed wind-band literature that could supplement the study of orchestral excerpts. However, because of the continuingly increasing amount of literature being written and published for wind-bands, Sivils' original list no longer reflects recent or current trends in percussion writing for the wind-band. The objective of this study is to expand upon Sivils' excerpt list.

Contemporary professional violinists face constant exposure to multicultural compositions.

During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Chinese composers wrote many violin pieces inspired by the unique sounds of Chinese instruments. Additionally, Chinese music scholars wrote numerous ess
