A preliminary comparative study of rhythm systems employed within the first-year college aural skills classJanssen, Brett Allen January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Curriculum and Instruction Programs / Frederick Burrack / Phillip Payne / The purpose of this study was to discover whether differences exist in rhythm pattern achievement of the three rhythm systems Takadimi, 1 e & a, and 1 ta te ta in introductory level aural skills classrooms. Participants (N = 27) were first-level aural skills students in three Midwest colleges. Data were collected by implementing a demographics questionnaire to obtain a descriptive profile of the participants, Gordon’s (1989) Advanced Measures of Music Audiation (AMMA) test to obtain the music aptitude level of the participants, and a researcher-designed pretest and posttest.
A significant difference was unable to be determined of rhythm pattern achievement between the three systems. However, results revealed improvement of rhythm reading between the pretest and posttest for all rhythm systems. A significant difference was unable to be determined in achievement between students with low and high aptitude following instruction in a particular rhythm system. The improvements in rhythm reading suggest that progress and achievement can be independent of using any of the three rhythm systems, but further investigation with a larger sample is recommended.

Hearing Wonderland: aural adaptation and Carroll's classic taleKizzire, Jessica 01 January 2017 (has links)
What does it sound like to fall down a rabbit hole? This was not a question that concerned Lewis Carroll when he wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but it has challenged the many individuals who have adapted his story for film, ballet, video games, and other multimedia formats since its creation. In recent decades, the proliferation of adaptations across a variety of new media has offered scholars a renewed opportunity to more closely examine this and other critical issues raised when considering the relationships between adapted texts and their original sources. This dissertation argues for a greater critical emphasis on the aurality of adaptation by examining the narrative potential of sound in adaptations across a variety of media forms. Despite scholarship on adaptations and comparable studies contemplating sound in adapted texts, these two streams of scholarly inquiry have largely remained isolated within adaptation studies and musicology, respectively. Through this dissertation, I provide an examination of sound’s capacity to shape, nuance, or subvert the other parts of a multimedia adaptation, thus bridging these disciplinary discussions.
This dissertation balances a broad survey of Alice adaptations with the highly focused examination of two case studies: Christopher Wheeldon’s ballet, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Tim Burton’s film, Alice in Wonderland. The survey demonstrates a model for analyzing the aurality of adaptation across media forms, while the case studies provide an in-depth examination of aural adaptation in relation to specific media forms. The analysis undertaken focuses on the intersection of narrative, sound, and adaptation, revealing complex and multifaceted relationships. In this work, I merge score analysis with visual and narrative analyses, using films or filmed versions of stage productions as the primary source materials. From this rigorous comparative analysis, trends in musical interpretation emerge, indicating some of the prevailing expectations concerning Alice and its aural adaptations.

Binaural realtidssimulering av hörselskador i vardagliga ljudmiljöer : Utforskandet av en immersiv upplevelse som verktyg för att skapa förståelse.Zenk, Anton, Montell, Felix January 2023 (has links)
Denna artikel undersöker hur man kan skapa ökad förståelse för hörselskador i vardagliga ljudmiljöer med hjälp av en realtidssimulation. Den producerade simulationen är binaural, och innefattar olika element av hörselskador såsom hörselnedsättning och tinnitus, samt sköter uppspelning av producerade ljudmiljöer i ett 4.0-surroundformat. Artikeln tar avstamp i tidigare forskning, beskrivningar av hörselskador i vetenskaplig litteratur, samt självbedriven etnografi med hörselskadade individer. Processen för framtagningen av simulationen beskrivs, och de olika steg som tagits för att anlända vid en fullständig slutprodukt redogörs. Upplevelsen utvärderas med hjälp av kvalitativa användartester med 13 deltagande studenter, där resultatet pekar på att simulationen har bidragit till en ökad förståelse för hörselskador i vardagliga ljudmiljöer. / This article explores how a real-time simulation can contribute to better understanding regarding hearing impairments in everyday sound environments. The produced simulation is binaural, and includes different elements of hearing impairment such as hearing loss and tinnitus, and handles playback of produced sound environments in a 4.0-surround format. The article is built upon previous research, descriptions of hearing impairments in scientific literature, as well as self-executed ethnography with hearing impaired individuals. The process of designing the simulation is described, as well as the different steps taken in order to arrive at a final product. The experience is evaluated through qualitative user testing with 13 participating students, where the results indicate that the simulation has contributed to a better understanding of hearing impairments in everyday sound environments.

Preparing Community Health Workers to Address Hearing LossJacob, Daisey Thalia-Sánchez January 2016 (has links)
Objective: To expand the access to culturally relevant hearing health services in a rural U.S. border community with already limited healthcare resources, community health workers (Promotoras de Salud) were trained to provide peer-facilitated hearing education classes. Design: A specialized three-phase training process for community health workers was developed, implemented, and evaluated. The training process included: 1) Focus groups with community health workers and residents from the community to raise awareness of hearing loss among community health workers and the community; 2) A 3-hour workshop training to introduce basic topics to prepare community health workers to identify signs of hearing loss among community members and utilize effective communication strategies; and 3) A 24-hour multi-session, interactive training over 6 weeks for community health workers who would become facilitators of educational and peer-support groups for individuals with hearing loss and family members. Study Sample: Twelve Spanish-speaking local community health workers employed by a federally qualified health center participated in a focus group, 12 received the general training, and four individuals with prior experience as health educators received further in-person training as facilitators of peer-education groups on hearing loss and communication. Results: Community health workers increased their knowledge base and confidence in effective communication strategies and developed skills in facilitating hearing education and peer support groups. Through case study practice, community health workers demonstrated competencies and applied their learning to specific situations related to effective communication with hearing loss, family support, assistive technology, use of hearing protection, and making referrals for hearing health care. Needs were identified for ongoing training in the area of assistive technology and addressing situations of more severe hearing loss. Conclusions: It is feasible to train community health workers to begin to address hearing loss and facilitate peer health education and support groups for individuals with hearing loss and their family members. In efforts to increase access to audiologic services in rural or hard-to-reach areas, application of the community health worker model with a partnership of audiologists deserves further consideration as a viable approach.

Aural LandscapesPrice, Brandi 01 January 2011 (has links)
Music and design draw upon innate parallels concerned with the creation and existence of space. By acknowledging the roles of both the visual and the aural in my design process as input and output, I attempt to achieve a deeper understanding of my intuition as a visual communicator. I believe that the visual and aural are linked—existing harmoniously together. The collected works present ever-evolving ideas on visualizing the experience of sound.
