[ES] Tras más de 10 años desde la adaptación de las enseñanzas artísticas superiores de música en España al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, la presente investigación diseña un plan de estudios revisado y actualizado en el itinerario de Piano perteneciente a la especialidad Interpretación desde una perspectiva normativa y ajustada a las necesidades formativas y laborales actuales. Para conseguir este objetivo, se lleva a cabo un análisis de la normativa estatal que ha permitido la adaptación de estas enseñanzas al nuevo marco educativo europeo y se realiza una investigación sobre el ámbito de aplicación de la misma a través del estudio minucioso de los treinta y nueve centros públicos y privados que actualmente otorgan los Títulos de Grado y de Máster en Enseñanzas Artísticas Superiores de Música. A su vez, se estudia el desarrollo normativo realizado por las quince comunidades autónomas que imparten estas enseñanzas y el proceso de implementación de los planes de estudios que han realizado cada una de estas administraciones. Tras analizar de manera cualitativa y cuantitativa todos los resultados obtenidos, se realiza una propuesta de plan de estudios que aúna aspectos definidos por la normativa estatal con las aportaciones realizadas mayoritariamente por las administraciones autonómicas competentes en materia educativa y, a su vez, plasma las necesidades formativas y laborales actuales que se observan desde la práctica docente. El resultado de esta investigación refleja un plan de estudios novedoso que es desarrollado a través de veintitrés asignaturas, además de cinco Asignaturas optativas y el Trabajo Fin de Grado que ofrece al alumnado una opción educativa de calidad adaptada a las necesidades laborales actuales. / [CA] Després de més de 10 anys des de l'adaptació dels ensenyaments artístics superiors de música a Espanya a l'Espai Europeu d'Educació Superior, la present recerca dissenya un pla d'estudis revisat i actualitzat en l'itinerari de Piano que pertany a l'especialitat d'Interpretació, i ho fa des d'una perspectiva normativa i ajustada a les necessitats formatives i laborals actuals. Per a aconseguir aquest objectiu, es duu a terme una anàlisi de la normativa estatal que ha permès l'adaptació d'aquests ensenyaments al nou marc educatiu europeu alhora que es realitza una recerca sobre el seu àmbit d'aplicació a través de l'estudi meticulós dels trenta nou centres públics i privats que actualment atorguen els Títols de Grau i de Màster en Ensenyaments Artístics Superiors de Música. S'estudia així mateix el desenvolupament normatiu realitzat per les quinze comunitats autònomes que imparteixen aquests ensenyaments i el procés d'implementació dels plans d'estudis que han realitzat cadascuna d'aquestes administracions. Després d'analitzar de manera qualitativa i quantitativa tots els resultats obtinguts, es formula una proposta de pla d'estudis que conjumina aspectes definits per la normativa estatal amb les aportacions realitzades majoritàriament per les administracions autonòmiques competents en matèria educativa, al mateix temps que plasma les necessitats formatives i laborals actuals que s'observen des de la pràctica docent. El resultat d'aquesta recerca reflecteix un pla d'estudis nou que es desenvolupada a través de vint i tres assignatures, a més de cinc Assignatures optatives i el Treball fi de Grau que ofereix a l'alumnat una opció educativa de qualitat adaptada a les necessitats laborals actuals. / [EN] After more than ten years since the adaptation of higher artistic education in music in Spain to the European Higher Education Area, this research designs a revised and updated curriculum in the piano itinerary belonging to the speciality of performance from a normative perspective adjusted to current training and employment needs. To achieve this objective, an analysis is carried out of the state regulations that have allowed the adaptation of these studies to the new European educational framework and an investigation is carried out into the scope of its application through a detailed study of the thirty-nine public and private centres that currently offer Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Higher Artistic Music Education. At the same time, it studies the regulatory development carried out by the fifteen autonomous communities that provide these courses and the process of implementation of the syllabuses that each of these administrations have carried out. After a qualitative and quantitative analysis of all the results obtained, a proposal is made for a syllabus that combines aspects defined by state regulations with the contributions made by the majority of the autonomous administrations responsible for education and, in turn, reflects the current training and employment needs observed in teaching practice. The result of this research reflects an innovative syllabus that is developed through twenty-three subjects, in addition to five optional subjects and the final year dissertation for degree, which offers students a quality educational option adapted to current employment needs. / Ferrís Lloret, MA.

The purpose of this treatise is not so much to discover heretofore unknown facts through original research; however, certain research is planned to assist in deleting the obvious handicaps one might encounter from using faulty instruments or mouthpieces, but rather to assemble under one cover practical data that may be of value in improving intonation in the band ensemble. Various definitions of terms will be established, purposes determined, opinion and methods of teachers evaluated, conclusions reached, and highlights of other persons’ experiments that may bear upon the subject will be presented.

Information received during interviews with fifteen prominent choral directors, ministers and laymen of different communities end questionnaire responses from thirty of fifty churches of the San Joaquin Presbytery of tho Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., indicates almost unanimously that there is a growing need. and also a growing awakening among the youth of the church for participation in church musical activities. For many years churches, large and small, have been struggling with the difficult problems of providing satisfactory musical experiences for both the adults and the youth in the churches of various denominations. For the large churches, with large budgets at their command, the matter is simplified by the hiring of paid singers and competent directors at good salaries. In the case of the smaller churches, the duties of furnishing music for various services and special programs usually fall to a local music instructor, and interested layman, the wife of the minister, or perhaps the minister himself. In some cases there is a small monthly remuneration, but in many cases the work done is a matter of donated time and labor on the part of the director. Much has been discussed as to the reasons for the lack of interest shown by the young people of various denominations in the musical life of the churches, but little practical information can be found to remedy the situation. In a conference with Dr. Clair Morrow, moderators of the Synod of California and Minister of the First Church of Fresno, and Leonard Ballmer, Moderators of the San Joaquin Presbytery, it was felt that such a study should take place in order to evaluate and compare the Youth Music Program at the First Church in Fresno with the other churches in the Presbytery.

Numerous studies examine Irish traditional music influencing old-time music, but few examine the influence of old-time on contemporary Irish. As our societies become more global, folk music travels faster and becomes more open to influence. Thes influences can be heard in the music of “Alfi” and “Lankum,” two ensembles steeped in Irish traditional music. This study defines common musical elements of old-time and examines the use of those elements in two recordings: Alfi’s, “Jubilee” and Lankum’s, “The Old Man from Over the Sea.” Much of my data comes from interviews with Irish and American musicians and my own professional knowledge, gaining a deeper understanding of the musical decisions made by members of Alfi and Lankum. This study adds to the formal literature relating to old-time and Irish traditional music. More importantly, it helps fill a gap in the literature by adding to the discussion of the dissemination of traditional music.

We live in a time when technology is digitalizing the world. Technology is a medium that brings people closer to each other and enables more experiences to take place; at home. The increase of music concert attendance boomed the music industry in 2016 and set record sales already halfway into the year. However, there are still people that cannot attend music concerts or performances due to other factors. It was not only the music industry that boomed in 2016; artists started producing music concerts in Virtual Reality (VR) enabling them to reach out to a wider audience. This study shows how music fans in the age between 20-30 perceive music concerts and performances in virtual worlds. The study conducted qualitative experiments and focus group discussions with a total of nine participants. The conclusion is that music fans perceive virtual reality as a media technology that needs more product development and focus on the possibilities of becoming a more social experience. Virtual reality is a technology that isolates the user; the music fans demanded an experience that enables co-presence. That is, achieving immersion and experiencing being present in a virtual world with another person.

This thesis paper reflects upon the costume design process taken by Mikayla Reid to explore how color choice and application within designs can help create storybook characters off the page and onto the stage. This concept is explored through the costume designs for the opera The Cunning Little Vixen, a production theoretically staged at the Alice Busch Opera Theater for the Glimmerglass Festival in New York. The paper discusses Reid’s attempt to create designs that still feel like watercolor illustrations, even when realized in physical garments. It follows her process as she tests different dye techniques in search for what produces the most effective color application. This paper also breaks down each step taken while constructing the main character, the Vixen, through the build, fittings, and color application.

Since the implementation and achievement score pressures of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, elective course offerings such as music have been drastically reduced, especially in the middle school setting. A great deal of correlational research has shown a positive correlation between music education in school and students’ overall academic achievement. This study examined the correlation between those middle school students that participated in the District Concert Band Music Performance Assessment (MPA) versus those middle school students that did not regarding their achievement scores on the 2016 English language arts (ELA) and mathematics subtests of the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA). The theoretical framework of this study was undergirded by Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. The researcher used a non-experimental ex post facto research design for the collection of the study’s data. The results indicated that there was a positive, statistically significant difference between both the ELA and mathematics achievement scores of those students that participated in the MPA and those that did not. There was also a positive, statistically significant difference between both the ELA and mathematics achievement scores of those students that participated in the MPA and the level of music their band performed. However, there was not a statistically significant difference between both the ELA and mathematics achievement scores of those students that performed at the MPA and the final overall rating that their band received. School administrators are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that effective programs are instituted in their schools so their students can be successful. The results of this quantitative non-experimental ex post facto study could provide administrators additional research-based evidence suggesting that band on the middle-school level, which is a branch of music education, could be a program to include in the school’s curriculum because it might positively contribute to the school’s ELA and mathematics achievement and academic culture. Additional research can also be conducted to observe the effects of music study on student achievement for students of all grade levels and socioeconomics. This would lead school administrators to continue practicing the notion of educating the whole child while making administrative decisions, which should be the sine qua non of education.

This study has developed a method to create an, to a big extent, automated testing system for NMP (Networked Music Performance) communication over LAN and WAN to be able to benchmark the UDP streaming engine JackTrip using a client-server model. The method is not locked into using JackTrip only, it could be used to do experiments with other engines too. The study tried to answer the question if latency correlates to amount of correctly aligned audio, and to what extent the audio is correctly aligned in respect to tolerated latency (based on earlier research) when at least two musicians remote-conducting musical pieces together. There were 13 different buffer settings tested, which used no redundancy and redundancy of 2, and which were sent through 4 different LAN/WAN-scenarios. A big dataset was produced, with about 82 minutes’ worth of audio per test. To post-process the data a phase cancelling method was used to measure correctly aligned audio, while the latency was measured by counting the number of samples from the start of each audio file to the first sample that were not null or not under a certain threshold. The results showed clear correlations of buffer sizes impact of latency and amount of correctly audio sent over the network. If the buffer sizes are greater, it will produce higher latency and increase the amount of correctly aligned audio, and on the opposite side, if using less buffer, it will produce lower latencies and less correctly aligned amount of audio. The study also showed that there was very little impact of using higher redundancies, both regarding latency and amount of correctly audio. When analysing the amount of correct data when respecting the tolerated level of latency, the study showed a support for correctly aligned amount of streamed audio up to 65% when using JackTrip. / Den här studien har utvecklat en metod för att skapa ett, till stor del, automatiserat testsystem för NMP-kommunikation (Networked Music Performance) över LAN och WAN för att kunna prestandatesta den UDP-strömmande ljudmotorn JackTrip, med en klient-server-modell. Metoden är inte låst till att endast användas med JackTrip, den kan användas för att göra experiment med andra motorer också. Studien försökte svara på frågorna om latens korrelerar med mängden korrekt justerat ljud, och till hur stor del som ljudet är korrekt justerad med hänsyn till tolererbar latens (baserat på tidigare undersökning) när minst två musiker fjärrmusicerar tillsammans. Det testades 13 olika buffertinställningar, som använde ingen redundans samt med redundans på 2, och som kördes genom 4 olika LAN / WAN-scenarier. En stor datamängd producerades, med ca 82 minuters ljud per test. För att post-bearbeta data användes en fas-elimineringsmetod för att mäta mängden korrekt justerat ljud, medan latensen var uppmätt genom att räkna antalet samplingar från starten av varje ljudfil till den första samplingen som inte var innehållslös eller inte under ett specifikt tröskelvärde. Resultaten visade tydlig korrelation av buffertstorlekens påverkan av latens och mängd korrekt ljud skickat över nätverket. Om buffertstorlekarna är större kommer det att ge högre latens och öka mängden korrekt justerat ljud, och tvärtom, om mindre buffert används, kommer det att ge lägre latens och mindre rätt justerad mängd ljud. Studien visade också att det gav mycket liten effekt att använda högre redundans, både vad gällande latens och mängden korrekt ljud.  Vid analys av mängden korrekta data med hänsyn till den tolererade latensnivån visade studien ett stöd för korrekt justerat mängd av strömmat ljud upp till 65% vid användning av JackTrip.
