This book was released on 2009 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine middle school wind players' ability to produce pitches in tune and perceive the degree to which these pitches were played in tune. Specific research questions addressed (a) differences in intonation achievement by grade level, instrument, and trial; (b) rank order of the most and least in tune pitches; (c) those pitches that best predicted overall intonation tendencies; (d) the correlation between overall intonation performance achievement and self-evaluations of intonation; (e) the correlation between students' self-evaluations of intonation and evaluations by expert judges. Participants were 87 middle school students. Each participant heard and then reproduced 18 different pitches presented in isolation 4 times in each of two trials. The flute pitches were notes in a G 4 to C6 chromatic scale. For the other instruments, the pitches were taken from a G3 to C4 chromatic scale. For each pitch presented, the student played back the same note and focused on tuning to the target pitch. Then, the students rated how well in tune the production was in comparison to the target pitch using a 5-point scale. Three expert judges rated the pitches produced by each student against their corresponding target pitches. The findings were as follows: (a) Intonation achievement in performance did not differ by grade level or trial but did differ by instrument. The flute subgroup performed significantly worse than did the other instrumental subgroups. (b) The most in tune pitches across all subjects were G 3 and A 3 . The least in tune pitches were A 4 and A♯ 4 . (c) Pitches that best predicted the global intonation tendencies were A 4 and G♯ 4 . (d) Student self-evaluations of intonation did not significantly correlate with the intonation evaluations produced by expert judges. (e) Student self-evaluations of intonation did not correlate significantly with the objectively measured intonation achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind Talk for Woodwinds provides instrumental music teachers, practitioners, and students with a handy, easy-to-use pedagogical resource for woodwind instruments found in school instrumental programs. With thorough coverage of the most common woodwind instruments - flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, and bassoon - the book offers the most topical and information necessary for effective teaching. This includes terminology, topics, and concepts associated with each specific instrument, along with teaching suggestions that can be applied in the classroom. Be sure to look to the back of the book for a "Practical Tips" section, which discusses common technical faults and corrections, common problems with sound (as well as their causes and solutions to them), fingering charts, literature lists (study materials, method books, and solos), as well as a list of additional resources relevant to teaching woodwind instruments (articles, websites, audio recordings). Without question, Wind Talk for Woodwinds stands alone as an invaluable resource for woodwinds!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Musicology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The fingering logic and performing of woodwind instruments. A psychological study and model. Since there is no empirical research about woodwind-playing, this work shows a way, for example, to calculate "Fear Parts", and how you can circumvent them, or how you can find the best aesthetic fingering sequences. The analysis of explorative tests showed a correlation between subjective difficulty and the number of fingers in use or the change and the resulting number of finger movements. In order to explain this situation, I use a fingering table, where “0” represents open or keys not pressed, and in “1” closed or pressed keys (Conjunctors). With this table, it was possible for me to handle images as vectors and represent them together with their transformations to make a comparison. With the vector sum, I had the opportunity to compare the subjective results with the calculated values. The relationship between subjective perception and calculated level of difficulty was given. These results make it possible to create a forecast model of optimal fingering sequences for musicians, teachers and composers, without knowing about the playing of a clarinet. These calculations also enable the Aesthetic Analysis of pieces, if the fingering table is expanded with aural criteria. Passages of pieces could be transcribed to other instruments, and be reviewed on their playability, when a sound situation requires this. This is a crude tool and should be extended to acoustically-physical and aesthetic parameters, to make further developments of the clarinets (Vienna clarinet and French clarinet). The aim of further development of wind instruments should be: Optimizing and expanding sound and fingering techniques appearances. Advantages of the fingering of each clarinet system should be usable on other instruments and, apart from the bore of the systems, universal.

Download or read book A Model Describing the Effects of Equipment Instruction and Director and Student Attributes on Wind band Intonation written by Brian C. Wuttke and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to test a hypothesized model of wind-band intonation, using equipment, instruction and director and student attributes as components. Band directors (N = 5) and their students (N = 200) were given a combination of published and researcher designed tests to measure equipment quality, experience, knowledge of instrument pitch tendencies and aural discrimination skills. In addition, each band was video recorded to observe their warm-up, tuning and rehearsal procedures and activities. Spectrum analysis using Praat phonetic analysis software (Boersma & Weenik, 2010) was used to measure wind-band intonation. Structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS (Arbuckle, 2008) was the method chosen to analyze and interpret the data. Although the hypothesized model could not be estimated, a model generating approach resulted in a three-factor model describing the effects of instruction and student attributes on wind-band intonation. Model fit was good ([curly kappa]2 = 3.486, df = 7, p = .837, GFI = .994, CFI = 1.00, RMSEA = .000). The respecified model indicated that instruction and student attributes explain 99.3% of the variance in the dependent variable wind-band intonation. For each SD increase in the latent instruction variable, wind-band intonation increases by .95 a SD. Activities involving aural-based tuning strategies, tuning intervals and chords evidenced higher intonation scores. For each SD increase in the latent student attributes variable, wind-band intonation increases by .16 a SD. This suggests that instrument quality, experience in band and private lessons, and aural acuity combine to affect intonation scores, but these student attributes are less influential than instruction. A supplementary finding revealed that 72.5% of the students (n = 145) made at least one error (M = 4.05, SD = 3.76) on the test measuring knowledge of their instrument's pitch tendencies.

Download or read book Relationships Between College Level Wind Instrumentalists Achievement in Intonation Perception and Performance written by Dennis L. Ballard and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undergraduate wind instrument majors' (N=60) perceptual and performance intonation achievement were measured and compared on seven separate tasks. Paired tasks between perception and performance that examined both melodic and harmonic contexts were included. Stimuli in multiple tuning conditions (equal temperament, Pythagorean, and just intonation) were incorporated in both perceptual and performance tasks, and participant achievement differences were compared across conditions. Vocal performances were contrasted with instrumental performances as well as perception. No significant correlations were found between any of the seven tasks. Differences by tuning condition were mixed. Vocal performances were significantly less accurate than instrumental performances. Melodic context stimuli produced significantly better results than harmonic contexts on the perceptual tasks as well as both the instrumental and vocal performance tasks. Recommendations for future research and implications for teaching are discussed.
