Examines the use of vernacular, country guitar styles in an electro-acoustic environment. Special attention is given to performance practices and explanation of techniques. Electro-acoustic techniques-including sound design and spatialization-are given with sonogram analyses and excerpts from the score. Compositional considerations are contrasted with those of Mario Davidovsky and Jean-Claude Risset with special emphasis on electro-acoustic approaches. Contextualization of the piece in reference to other contemporary, electric guitar music is shown with reference to George Crumb and Chiel Meijering.

Studiens syfte är att få inblick i hur elgitarrlärare arbetar för att få sina elever att lära sig notskrift. I bakgrundskapitlet beskrivs tidigare forskning om notläsning och notskrift. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt används ett designteoretiskt perspektiv, vilket fokuserar på hur människor använder olika tecken för att designa sin kommunikation och sitt lärande. Studien vilar på en kvalitativ forskningsansats med videoobservation som metod. Sex elgitarrlärare på olika kulturskolor har videoobserverats. Det inspelade materialet har sedan transkriberats och analyserats med fokus på de teckenskapande resurser lärarna använder i sin undervisning. I resultatet framkommer att lärarna använder såväl tal, sång, kropp, instrument, musikaliska termer och ljudande bakgrunder för att undervisa traditionell notskrift och/eller tabulatur till eleverna. I diskussionen berörs två övergripande undervisningssätt som har lyfts fram hos lärarna: en traditionell notbunden och musikteoribaserad undervisning och en tabulatur- och gehörsbaserad undervisning. / The study aims to gain insight into how guitar teachers working to get their students to learn musical notation. In the background chapter, previous research in music reading and notation is shown. As a theoretical basis the design theory perspective is used, which focuses on how people use different characters to design their communication and learning. The study is based on a qualitative research with video observation as method. Six electric guitar teachers at different arts schools have been observed using video recording. The recorded material was then transcribed and analysed with a focus on the character-building resources teachers use in their teaching. The result shows that teachers use speech, voice, body, instrument, musical terms and sounding backing tracks to teach traditional music notation and/or tablature for students. In the discussion two comprehensive teaching methods that have been highlighted by the teachers is discussed: a traditional sight-reading and music theory based teaching and a tablature and ear based instruction.

Studiens syfte är att se ifall det är möjligt att under en kortare tid bli en bättre a-vistaläsare. För att undersöka detta har jag under en åttaveckorsperiod övat a-vista 15 minuter per dag, med hjälp av en bok just för a-vistaläsning. Ett urval av dessa övningstillfällen har jag videofilmat. Jag har också använt mig av loggbok för att dokumentera mina upplevelser av min egen process. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt har jag valt ett multimodalt designteoretiskt perspektiv. I resultatet visas hur olika resurser hanteras, samt hur progression i lärandet har varit. Det framkommer att jag under denna period har lärt mig att läsa a-vista bättre än innan. Jag använde mig av kroppsliga resurser i ganska stor utsträckning då jag övade a-vistaläsning. I diskussionen beskriver jag utifrån det designteoretiska perspektivet hur förutsättningarna utifrån den valda boken har varit, samt vilka resurser som användes vid lärandet. / The purpose of this study is to find out if it is possible to become better at sight-reading melodies during a shorter period, in this case eight weeks with 15 minutes of daily training. With a video recorder, I have documented a selection of daily training sessions based on a book that specifically focuses on sight-reading melodies. Furthermore, I have written a logbook to document my personal experiences during the process. Theoretical perspective is design theory. The results shows how different resources are handled, and the learning progression of the process are described. It appears that I during this period, have become better at sight-reading melodies and it is also clear that I use bodily resources quite a lot while practicing sight-reading. Lastly, in the last chapter I discuss the preconditions given by the book and what resources that has been created during my learning period.

<p>This dissertation consists of two independent musical compositions and an article detailing the process of the design and assembly of an electric guitar with particular emphasis on the carefully curated suite of embedded effects. </p><p>The first piece, 'Phase Locked Loop and Modulo Games' is scored for electric guitar and a single echo of equal volume less than a beat away. One could think of the piece as a 15 minute canon at the unison at the dotted eighth note (or at times the quarter or triplet-quarter), however the compositional motivation is more about weaving a composite texture between the guitar and its echo that is, while in theory extremely contrapuntal, in actuality is simply a single [superhuman] melodic line.</p><p>The second piece, 'The Dogma Loops' picks up a few compositional threads left by ‘Phase Locked Loop’ and weaves them into an entirely new tapestry. 'Phase Locked Loop' is motivated by the creation of a complex musical composite that is for the most part electronically transparent. 'The Dogma Loops' questions that same notion of composite electronic complexity by essentially asking a question: "what are the inputs to an interactive electronic system that create the most complex outputs via the simplest musical means possible?"</p><p>'The Dogma Loops' is scored for Electric Guitar (doubling on Ukulele), Violin and Violoncello. All of the principal instruments require an electronic pickup (except the Uke). The work is in three sections played attacca; [Automation Games], [Point of Origin] and [Cloning Vectors]. </p><p>The third and final component of the document is the article 'Finding Ibrida.' This article details the process of the design and assembly of an electric guitar with integrated effects, while also providing the deeper context (conceptual and technical) which motivated the efforts and informed the challenges to hybridize the various technologies (tubes, transistors, digital effects and a microcontroller subsystem). The project was motivated by a desire for rigorous technical and hands-on engagement with analog signal processing as applied to the electric guitar. ‘Finding Ibrida’ explores sound, some myths and lore of guitar tech and the history of electric guitar distortion and its culture of sonic exploration.</p> / Dissertation

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A presente dissertaÃÃo teve como objetivo geral compreender as prÃticas pedagÃgicas e metodolÃgicas no ensino e aprendizagem de guitarra elÃtrica no triÃngulo CRAJUBAR e fomentar aquelas consideradas fundamentais para um ensino de mÃsica democrÃtico. Para tanto, foi necessÃrio, alÃm de investigar alguns espaÃos de ensino e aprendizagem de guitarra no curso de Licenciatura em MÃsica da UFCA, apresentar um breve histÃrico da guitarra no CRAJUBAR sob a perspectiva da histÃria de vida de alguns agentes. A fim de iluminar as reflexÃes esta pesquisa utilizou como referencial teÃrico a Ecologia dos Saberes de Maria CÃndida Moraes, a praxiologia do Pierre Bourdieu e algumas ideias e propostas de Maura Penna sobre a democratizaÃÃo do acesso à arte e à cultura. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo e os procedimentos metodolÃgicos adotados sÃo a histÃria de vida em formaÃÃo e estudos do tipo etnogrÃfico. O trabalho apresentou uma interessante organizaÃÃo dos estudos da guitarra a partir de seis tÃpicos: conhecimento do braÃo, tÃcnica, leitura, harmonia, improvisaÃÃo e repertÃrio; sendo que, a partir dessa organizaÃÃo, podem ser utilizadas as seguintes prÃticas pedagÃgicas e recursos metodolÃgicos: Sistema 5 (CAGED), apreciaÃÃo musical, âpegar mÃsicas de ouvidoâ, transcriÃÃo em partitura, composiÃÃo â em sentido amplo â, estudo e performance de repertÃrio que contemple uma ampla variedade de gÃneros e estilos musicais, desde a mÃsica popular atà a erudita, utilizaÃÃo de metrÃnomo, playbacks, Ãudios, vÃdeos, videoaulas e gravaÃÃo musical. Ressaltamos ainda a Aprendizagem Musical Compartilhada como excelente proposta metodolÃgica para o ensino e aprendizagem de guitarra em contextos coletivos. / The aim of this dissertation was to understand pedagogical and methodological practices in the teaching and learning of electric guitar in the CRAJUBAR triangle and to foster those considered fundamental for a teaching of democratic music. For that, it was necessary, besides investigating some spaces of teaching and learning of electric guitar in the course of Graduation in Music of the UFCA, to present a brief history of the electric guitar in the CRAJUBAR under the perspective of the life history of some agents. In order to illuminate the reflections, this research used as a theoretical reference the Ecology of Knowledge of Maria CÃndida Moraes, the praxiology of Pierre Bourdieu and some ideas and proposals of Maura Penna on the democratization of access to art and culture. It is a qualitative research and the methodological procedures adopted are the life history in formation and studies of the ethnographic type. The work presented an interesting organization of the studies of the guitar from six topics: knowledge of the arm, technique, music reading, harmony, improvisation and repertoire; From this organization, the following pedagogical practices and methodological resources can be used: System 5 (CAGED), musical appreciation, âpick up songs from the earâ, transcription in score, composition - in a broad sense -, study and repertoire performance that contemplate a wide variety of genres and musical styles, from popular music to the erudite, use of metronome, playbacks, audios, videos, video lessons and music recording. We also emphasize Shared Musical Learning as an excellent methodological proposal for the teaching and learning of electric guitar in collective contexts.

abstract: This work explores the blurring and eradication of boundaries – whether the boundaries are musical, social, cultural, linguistical, or political. I wanted to create a work that would explore the boundaries of my own dual identities, such as Mexican or American, or masculine or feminine, and that of my varied interests, such as popular, jazz, and European art music. After half a year of work, Sueño-Vibrant is the dazzling, whirlwind of a result (“vibrant” is pronounced just as it is in English). I worked with poet Marco Piña because we share many similarities in our artistic philosophies, owing to our mutual identities as bilingual Chicanxs. Considering the poems themselves, for me, “Bastardized Spanglish Translations” reveals an individual recovering from the end of a romantic relationship, whereas “Night Song” is about the self-discovery of one’s identity. By pairing these two poems, I create a polarity between the texts themselves, to highlight that the shaping of identity is both an internal and external process. In the cantata, we travel from the mourning and mysterious “Do My Eyes Lie” to the Mexican folk-styled “Ya me voy;” the arduous and painful “Ban Me From Balancing;” the indie- and jazz-inspired “Soon I’ll Be Home;” the introspective choral work “Night Song;” and the dissonant and disoriented “This Song Keeps Skipping.” I complete the work with “Adiós, Amor,” where these seemingly disparate feelings, genres, ideas, and identities are tied together and explored to fruition through a variety of styles and genres, from the salsa, to the opera chorus. With this work, I invite audiences to consider their own identities and those of others, and to embrace the social dissonances that happen both within us and around us. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Composition 2019

Föreliggande uppsats har som syfte att ta reda på vilken syn elgitarrlärare på estetiska gymnasieprogram har kring förmedling av sound och utrustning och vilka metoder de tillämpar för att lyfta fram dessa moment i sin undervisning. Sound kan definieras på många sätt, men i detta arbete har det en innebörd av vilka klanger som olika instrument, förstärkare och diverse hjälpmedel kan producera. Målet är att ge nuvarande och blivande instrumentpedagoger en inblick i hur elgitarrlärare arbetar med dessa moment i undervisningen idag. Förhoppningen är även att studien ska kunna ge inspiration till att utveckla metoder och finna redskap som hjälper elever att skapa ett eget sound. Datamaterialet består av intervjuer med fem elgitarrlärare samt observationer av tre av dessa lärares gitarrlektioner. Studien har som sin teoretiska utgångspunkt ett didaktiskt perspektiv.   Tidigare forskning indikerar att detta område fortfarande är relativt outforskat. Inom litteraturen belyses dock lyssning, komposition och exponering av diverse utrustning som viktiga metoder. Ämnessyner och interaktion har varit viktiga beståndsdelar vid analysen och tolkningen av intervjuerna och observationerna med lärarna där genre, undervisningsupplägg och tolkning av läroplanen har varit centrala teman. I resultatet framgår det att det finns ett intresse hos eleverna att lära sig mycket om sound och utrustning och att ämnet är mest förekommande inom gemensam undervisning, men att det också har en plats inom enskilda lektioner. I diskussionen redogörs elevernas intresse kontra lärarnas ämnessyn samt vilka semiotiska resurser lärarna tillämpar i undervisningen. / This essay deals with the issue of what vision electric guitar teachers within the esthetic high school programme have in matters of teaching about sound and equipment, and what methods they apply to emphasize the topic in their teaching. Sound can be defined in many ways, but in this paper it has a meaning of what timbre that can be produced through instruments and amplifiers. The purpose is to give present and future instrument teachers an insight of how this topic is presented in the teaching. The hope is also that this study may provide inspiration on how to develop methods and find tools so that pupils can be able to search for their own sound. The data material consists of five interviews with electric guitar teachers and three observations of three guitar lessons. The study is structured from a didactic perspective.   Earlier research has shown that this topic is relatively unexplored. In literature, however, concentrated listening, composition and exposure of equipment are emphasized as important methods.  Visions of the topic and interaction have been important components in the analysis and interpretation of the interviews and observations with the teachers, and genre approach, education, and methods are a couple of the main subjects within the discussion. The result gives an impression that the students are highly interested in learning about sound and equipment, and that the topic is most common when educating in groups, but still appears to be modestly presented within guitar lessons.

Thus, the formation of the guitar player was developed in different spaces and from individual strategies related to the practice and the social insertion of the electric guitar. Currently, the instrument has achieved new demands and new spaces, also reaching institutionalized dimensions with regard to its teaching. Therefore, we can say that nowadays the educational spaces for teaching and learning the electric guitar are constituted by formalized contexts and several other universes of practice and, consequently, of musical formation. Taking this scenario into consideration, I conducted a multicase study in the city of Joao Pessoa considering three important contexts of teaching and learning the electric guitar today. The investigated spaces were: graduation courses of music at the Federal University of Paraiba, the school of music Studio Musical, a private school that offer free courses of the instrument, and private lessons with a teacher who gives classes in his own residence. Taking this research as a basis, this study presents, discusses and analyzes key aspects that characterize electric guitar lessons in the three investigated spaces of musical formation, especially in relation to infrastructure, content, methodologies and different strategies used for teaching and learning. The methodological approach of the research was based mainly on qualitative procedures of data collection and analysis, but also contemplated quantitative instruments to enrich the understanding of the universe studied. Thus, throughout the investigative work, bibliographic studies, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and participant observation of classes were carried out. From the results obtained, it was evident that, in all of the three contexts investigated, it is common the use of scales and the formation and use of chords and arpeggios as the basis for the practice of the instrument. However, each context presents singularities regarding the use of repertoire as a guiding element of learning, the availability of equipment to carry out the lessons and the systematic structuring of the contents applied. / O ensino e aprendizagem da guitarra se consolidaram a partir de uma conjuntura de fatores relacionados ao desenvolvimento histórico, interpretativo e cultural do instrumento. Assim, a formação do guitarrista se desenvolveu em espaços diversos e a partir de estratégias singulares relacionadas à prática e à inserção social da guitarra. Na atualidade, o instrumento tem conquistado novas demandas e novos espaços, ganhando inclusive dimensões institucionalizadas no que se refere ao seu ensino. Dessa forma, é possível afirmar que os espaços educacionais de ensino e aprendizagem da guitarra hoje se constituem tanto em contextos formalizados quanto em diversos outros universos de prática e, conseqüentemente, de formação musical. Considerando essa realidade, realizei um estudo multicaso na cidade de João Pessoa contemplando três importantes contextos de ensino e aprendizagem da guitarra na atualidade. Os espaços investigados foram: cursos de graduação em música da Universidade Federal da Paraíba; a escola de música Studio Musical, de caráter particular e que oferta cursos livres do instrumento; e aulas particulares de um professor que ministra aulas em sua própria residência. Tendo essa pesquisa como base, este trabalho apresenta, discute e analisa aspectos fundamentais que caracterizam aulas de guitarra nos três espaços de formação musical investigados, sobretudo no que tange à infra-estrutura, conteúdos, metodologias e estratégias diversas de ensino e aprendizagem utilizadas. A abordagem metodológica da pesquisa teve como base principal procedimentos qualitativos de coleta e análise dos dados, mas também contemplou instrumentos quantitativos a fim de enriquecer a compreensão do universo estudado. Assim, ao longo do trabalho investigativo, foram realizados estudos bibliográficos, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, aplicação de questionários e observação participante das aulas ministradas. A partir dos resultados obtidos, ficou evidente que, nos três contextos investigados, é comum o uso de escalas e a formação e utilização de acordes e arpejos como base para a prática do instrumento. Todavia, cada contexto apresenta singularidades no que concerne ao uso do repertório como elemento norteador da aprendizagem, à disponibilidade de equipamentos para a realização das aulas e à estruturação sistemática dos conteúdos aplicados.
