4	Trombonrösten på olika altituder : Registrets påverkan på musikens beståndsdelar Skogh, Simon January 2021 (has links) This thesis is about register and how it affects my playing through compositions and improvisation. As a brass musician, the high and low range is something that takes a lot of effort to master. How important is register for my artistic expression and how does register influence my music? My method to test this is by composing with a template where I have three musical components that I arrange in different registers. The first component is melody. The second one is ostinato, which in this thesis means something rhythmical that creates movement through time. The last component is harmony. In the next part of the thesis, I analyze all of my compositions and describe how I have worked with the template. I have also written about what difficulties we encountered as a band when we rehearsed the music. The band consists of me on trombone and bass trombone, Olle Vikström on tenor and baryton saxophone, Sara Karkkonen on piano, Johan Tengholm on bass and Henrik Jäderberg on drums. In the end of this thesis I discuss how register have influenced how the components work together like the clarity of the melody and how the harmony is affected by the melody.I find the instrumentation is of higher influence than the register but this specific constellation of instruments may have influenced how I perceive the components. / <p>Konserten innehöll Fem originalkompositioner av Simon Skogh</p><p>Det var följande låtar</p><p>Vårflod</p><p>Väg 83</p><p>Stresspåsag</p><p>Reserestriktioner</p><p>Lyckligt slut</p><p></p><p>Medverkande musiker var</p><p>Simon Skogh tenortrombon och bastrombon</p><p>Olle Vikström tenorsaxofon och barytonsaxofon</p><p>Sara Karkkonen piano</p><p>Johan Tengholm Bas</p><p>Henrik Jäderberg Trummor</p><p></p><p>På grund av ett tekniskt fel fungerar inte en video som är inlagd i mitt arbete på sida 5 den är därför en egen fil uppladdad här.</p> jazz brass instrument trombone bass trombone Music Musik
5	The Pedagogy of Brass Instruments at the College Level Jenkins, Merlin E. 06 1900 (has links) Mainly, the purpose of this work is to give the brass instrument player a more thorough understanding of how to improve the many factors which combine to make up his technique as a whole; also, to give the brass instrument player a more thorough understanding of the construction and history of his instrument, as well as a list of books which can be useful in developing specific phases of brass instrument playing. In other words, this book is intended to be a help to all brass instrument players who want to learn more about their instrument as well as to improve on it. music instruction brass instrument players Music in universities and colleges.
6	The correlation between Doug Elliott's embouchure types and playing and selected physical characteristics among trombonists Wilken, David M. January 2000 (has links) Although traditional methods of teaching brass embouchure tend to favor a more centered mouthpiece placement, individual differences in facial structure may make a centered placement inefficient for many individuals. Thirty-four test subjects (N = 34) who volunteered from a mid-sized, Midwestern university school of music, a mid-sized Midwestern high school, and professional and semiprofessional trombonists from around a Midwestern state were tested for an efficient embouchure and then photographed while playing specific pitches into a transparent plastic mouthpiece. Additionally, each subject filled out a brief survey and had various facial characteristics photographed. Statistics from this data suggest that the three basic types defined by Doug Elliott, Very High Placement Type, Medium High Placement Type, and Very Low Placement Type, are accurate. Evidence also suggested that airstream direction and the use of an embouchure motion is dependant on vertical mouthpiece placement. The angle of the airstream also changes according to the register being played. It was also determined that certain physical characteristics, most notably lip protrusion, suggested that a subject will play with a specific mouthpiece placement. / School of Music Trombone -- Methods.

7	Practical Considerations for Euphonium Players Doubling on Tuba Kenney, Vince 05 1900 (has links) There is currently a great deal of information available to euphonium players who double on trombone, but far less for euphonium players who double on tuba. This dissertation takes information gathered from many top euphonium/tuba doublers, including: Benjamin Pierce, D.M.A., Aaron Tindall, D.M.A., Gail Robertson, D.M.A., Gretchen Renshaw James, D.M.A., Matthew Murchison, D.M.A., Matthew Shipes, D.M.A., Matthew Tropman, D.M.A., and Keith Kile, and presents a synopsis of their thoughts/reflections on tuba doubling. This dissertation is designed to aide euphonium players in the process of learning tuba, enabling them to be as efficient as possible with both their time and money throughout the process. Topics covered include: difficulties unique to the euphonium/tuba double and approaches to overcome them, similarities and differences between euphonium and tuba playing (from the perspective of euphonium/tuba doublers), "reverse" benefits of euphonium/tuba doubling on the primary instrument, literature recommendations for euphonium/tuba doublers, and equipment considerations for euphonium/tuba doublers.

8	Examining the Under-Representation of Female Euphonium Players in the USA Ewing, Melissa 05 1900 (has links) Females make up the minority in professional euphonium playing and teaching roles in the USA. The purpose of this research is to unveil the reasons behind this imbalance and to discover potential impacts females experience as a minority in the field. Research methods included sending a questionnaire to professional female euphonium players and teachers to document the experiences of participants. A secondary purpose of this study is to further document the existence of past and present potential female euphonium role models. Through a discussion of possible origins of and reasons behind a perceived lack of female euphonium players, I am seeking ways to achieve greater parity by garnering a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by female euphonium players. euphonium players female musicians low brass brass feminist feminism Women musicians -- United States.

10	Epidemiologic Survey of a Unique Type of Task-Specific Dystonia in Brass Musicians Wallace, Eric (Trombonist) 12 1900 (has links) Brass musicians are known to experience a performance problem that is sometimes called valsalva maneuver or musical stuttering. This problem is known to cause difficulty starting a first note, tension in the throat, and tightness in the chest. Unfortunately, the research literature lacks sufficient details for evidence-based interventions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to characterize and define this performance problem as experienced by brass musicians. An online epidemiologic survey was developed and deployed to collect data from brass musicians who have experienced this problem in their own playing. The survey was designed to acquire data in order to characterize and define the phenomenon through a biopsychosocial framework. The survey was also designed to assess whether this problem aligns with Altenmuller's heuristic model of motor control disruptions. A diverse group of brass musicians (n = 252) participated and offered relevant details for characterizing and defining this problem. Analysis of characteristic data suggests this problem is not a form of musical stuttering. Considering these data through Altenmuller's model suggests that this problem is experienced as a spectrum of motor disruptions that can develop into a unique type of musician's dystonia. While additional research is warranted, the results of this study are applicable to brass musicians, brass pedagogues, music educators, and performing arts health clinicians. musician's dystonia focal dystonia task-specific dystonia brass musicians performance disorders performance problems valsalva maneuver musical stuttering stutter tongue tongue stopper wind players hesitation problem locking locking problem tongue chest tightness throat tension yips Altenmuller trombone trombonists epidemiology epidemiologic survey musculoskeletal neurological disorder new type dystonia performance anxiety Dystonia.
