Extractions: This page contains musings on a variety of subjects related to piano performance and pedagogy. Memory: Beyond Remembering The subject of memorization for performance has become a hot issue among pianists and teachers over the last few years, with parties on either side making compelling arguments for or against memorization in live performance. The issue continues to cause a stir among pianists and teachers as it is often a featured topic at workshops, conventions and in periodicals. This article will not deal with the pros and cons of memorization in performance. The purpose of this article is not to choose sides in the debate. The issue of concern here is "what do psychologists know about memory and how can we apply that information to our discipline?" Most studies on memory generally agree that memory has three stages or aspects; acquisition, storage and retrieval. Acquisition is the actual process of learning the information to be recalled later. Storage, the second stage, is the system of organization chosen to file the information for recall. The final stage, retrieval, if often thought of as the "remembering" part of memory. It is important to acknowledge that memorization is a process. It is something that is done consciously and with a specific intention. Certainly, exposure to music being studied allows for much information to be stored and recalled, and repetition is one of the key principles for memory. But security in recall hinges on the effectiveness in the acquisition and storage stages. Students often believe that memory lapses are simply caused by their inability to remember the material, when in actuality memory lapses are likely due to ineffectiveness in the acquisition and storage of material.

Writing MUSIC Title: Performing Ethnomusicology Subtitle: Teaching and Representation In World Music Ensembles Author: SOLIS TED Publisher: California Uni. Press Binding: Paperback ISBN: exGST: incGST: Performing Ethnomusicology is the first book to deal exclusively with creating, teaching, and contextualising academic world music performing ensembles. Considering the formidable theoretical, ethical, and practical issues that confront ethnomusicologists who direct such ensembles, the sixteen essays in this volume discuss problems of public performance and the pragmatics of pedagogy and learning processes. Their perspectives, drawing upon expertise in Caribbean steelband, Indian, Balinese, Javanese, Philippine, Mexican, Central and West African, Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Jewish klezmer ensembles, provide a uniquely informed and many-faceted view of this complicated and rapidly changing landscape. MUSIC Title: Soweto Blues Subtitle: Jazz and Politics In South Africa Author: ANSELL GWEN Publisher: Continuum Binding: Hardcover ISBN: exGST: incGST: A major new contribution to the study of African music, Soweto Blues tells the remarkable story of how jazz became a key part of South Africa's struggles in the 20th Century, and provides a fascinating overview of the ongoing links between African and American styles of music. Ansell illustrates how jazz occupies a unique place in South African music. Through interviews with hundreds of musicians, she pieces together a vibrant narrative history, bringing to life the early politics of resistance, the atmosphere of illegal performance spaces, the global anti-apartheid influence of Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba, as well as the post-apartheid upheavals in the national broadcasting and recording industries. Featuring an introduction by Abdullah Ibrahim, Soweto Blues is a fitting tribute to the power of music to inspire optimism and self-expression in the darkest of times.

Extractions: All performances will be held at the Lubbock Civic Center Theatre * 8:1 P.M. For the first orchestral spectacular of The Golden Season, Maestro Schram has chosen a program of European and American MasterWorks which invoke in every way the exceptional artistry of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. The performance includes the string imagery of Wager's Overture to Die Meistersinger...Mozart's ebullient Symphony No. 29... the exciting, familiar pulse of Bernstein's brilliant Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story"... and the virtuosic dynamism of Peck's The Glory and the Grandeur. The dramatic interpretation of this gifted American composer by the LSO percussion section can only be described as one for the memory books! Guest Artist: Livia Sohn, Violin Audiences will be thrilled by the LSO's intensely beautiful orchestral interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony, and by the sheer romance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor as performed by violin sensation, Vivia Sohn. Only 18 now, Ms. Sohn first performed this work at 12, the age at which she won the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition. She has appeared with the Boston Pops at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, and with symphony orchestras throughout the U.S. Internationally she has performed in Europe, Korea, and the Middle East. Ms. Sohn currently studies in New York, where she also coaches chamber music at The Juilliard School. Virtuosi!
