The participatory turn, fuelled by discourses and rhetoric regarding social media, and in the aftermath of the dot.com crash of the early 2000s, enrols to some extent an idea of being able to deploy networks to achieve institutional aims. The arts and cultural sector in the UK, in the face of funding cuts, has been keen to engage with such ideas in order to demonstrate value for money; by improving the efficiency of their operations, improving their respective audience experience and ultimately increasing audience size and engagement. Drawing on a case study compiled via a collaborative research project with a UK-based symphony orchestra (UKSO) we interrogate the potentials of social media engagement for audience development work through participatory media and networked publics. We argue that the literature related to mobile phones and applications (‘apps’) has focused primarily on marketing for engagement where institutional contexts are concerned. In contrast, our analysis elucidates the broader potentials and limitations of social-media-enabled apps for audience development and engagement beyond a marketing paradigm. In the case of UKSO, it appears that the technologically deterministic discourses often associated with institutional enrolment of participatory media and networked publics may not necessarily apply due to classical music culture. More generally, this work raises the contradictory nature of networked publics and argues for increased critical engagement with the concept.

This paper considers the key findings of a year-long collaborative research project focusing on the audience of the London Symphony Orchestra and their introduction of a new mobile telephone (‘app’) ticketing system. A mixed-method approach was employed, utilizing focus groups and questionnaires with over 80 participants, to research a sample group of university students. This research develops our understanding of classical music audiences, and highlights the continued individualistic, middle-class, and exclusionary culture of classical music attendance and patterns of behaviours. The research also suggests that a mobile phone app does prove a useful mechanism for selling discounted tickets, but shows little indication of being a useful means of expanding this audience beyond its traditional demographic.

A significant challenge for the implementation of the Australian Curriculum: The Arts is the professional development of primary school teachers in all parts of the country. During 2012, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) conducted a remote music professional development workshop as part of the Sydney Opera House’s Digital Education Program for teachers in New South Wales using the Department of Education’s Connected Classroom system which allows live synchronous interaction between facilitators and participants in multiple sites. In this article, we analyse observational and videotape data collected during this live professional development event to consider the opportunities and challenges presented by this type of professional learning experience in the arts. In particular, consideration is given to the impact of a remote musical interaction on embodied learning and aesthetic experience. We draw on actor-network theory to consider the ways in which a remote professional development experience differs to one in which all participants are present in the same space. Finally, we conclude that although there are significant differences in the type of learning that occurs in a remote music interaction, the online space provides a legitimate and potentially transforming experience for primary school teachers.

During Franz Schubert’s penultimate year of 1827, he produced two profoundly important and mature works that are the focus of this recording project. The works are, in chronological order: • Winterreise (cycle of 24 songs on the poetry of Wilhelm Müller, 1794-1827) • Piano Trio in Eb Major, Op. 100, D. 929 A unique feature of the project is to present Winterreise in two poetic orders: as traditionally performed and published by Schubert, and in the final ordering published by the poet. The program notes accompanying the dissertation’s three compact discs have extensive information as well as comparative tables of Müller’s and Schubert’s final ordering of the cycle. There are significant differences in ordering, and ultimately the listener will determine which is more dramatically satisfying. Dark melancholy is the central emotion in Winterreise, which Schubert composed at various times throughout 1827 in a mood of corresponding gloom and distress. By contrast, the summer and fall of that year produced, in quick succession, the two glowing and remarkable Piano Trios in Bb and Eb, the second of which is included on these compact discs. The contrast between the trios and Winterreise follows the outward circumstances of Schubert’s life and health, a pattern of sorrow and later consolation and elation. The sound recordings for this dissertation recording project are available on three compact discs that can be found in the Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM). Winterreise was recorded in August 2009, at the University of Baltimore recital hall in Baltimore, Maryland with University of Maryland Professor François Loup. The trio, recorded in live performance in Baltimore in the spring of 2010, features two members of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: Qing Li, B.S.O. principal second violin, and Bo Li, B.S.O. section cellist.

Resumo I - O projecto “Piano e outros Instrumentos/orquestra” consiste na implementação do formato Piano e Orquestra em complemento às aulas individuais e aos ensaios de conjunto. O trabalho foi dirigido a um grupo de três alunos com idades de 9, 12 e 16 anos, do curso de Iniciação, Básico e Secundário da EMNSC (Escola de Música de Nossa Senhora do Cabo). Foram criados momentos distintos em cada fase. Estimulou-se o desenvolvimento de competências musicais e de estratégias metacognitivas visando a evolução dos alunos e a eficácia na realização do estudo individual. O Projecto foi criado com o objectivo de desenvolver as competências musicais, a motivação para realização do estudo individual e de grupo, o espírito e a audição crítica, o controlo dos factores psicológicos, a ansiedade, o aumento da autoconfiança, a aprendizagem, a melhoria da atitude positiva no momento da execução pública e o incremento do interesse pelas actividades relacionadas com a prática musical. A realização deste projecto visou analisar o grau de motivação, o desenvolvimento e a aquisição de competências musicais dos alunos de piano que frequentaram semanalmente aulas individuais, aulas extra de preparação, ensaios com Orquestra “Da Capo”, ensaios com a Orquestra Maior, duos com violoncelo e com canto. Um dos objectivos era comparar o grau de motivação e desenvolvimento dos alunos quando estudam obras nas aulas individuais que constituem o programa curricular e, por outro lado, quando o fazem em peças seleccionadas especificamente para este Projecto. Esta experiência visou proporcionar um conhecimento nos diversos domínios da música, uma visão diferente da funcionalidade do piano em conjunto com os outros instrumentos, a descoberta das sonoridades do piano contrastante e ao mesmo tempo, integrante com outros instrumentos, as formas de funcionamento dos instrumentos de corda, de sopro, dos assuntos relacionados com a afinação e pretendendo-se assim apurar o sentido de fazer parte integrante de um todo.

A atenção face dada à problemática da perda auditiva induzida pelo ruído nos profissionais da música tem sido enfatizada estudos nos últimos anos. No entanto, no que respeita aos alunos de música, são ainda poucos os estudos que analisam esta problemática de modo a permitir compreender se estes poderão estar expostos a elevados níveis de ruído no decorrer da sua formação e desenvolver problemas auditivos. O presente estudo pretende caraterizar os níveis de pressão sonora a que alunos de música estão expostos no decorrer das aulas e analisar a perceção do risco dos mesmos e potenciais efeitos sobre o sistema auditivo. Foram analisadas duas Orquestras de Jazz e uma Orquestra Sinfónica de uma Escola Superior de Música (ESM) e de um Conservatório de Música (CM). No total foram selecionados 24 alunos de acordo com o seu instrumento, e medidos os níveis de pressão sonora em diversas aulas, ao longo de duas semanas com recurso a 8 dosímetros. Foi aplicado um questionário para a análise da perceção dos alunos ao ruído e realizados exames audiométricos para a avaliação auditiva dos alunos. Em geral, os resultados demostraram que os alunos estão expostos a níveis elevados de ruído no decurso das aulas de instrumento e ensaios. Foram obtidos elevados níveis de Lp,A,eqT na bateria, vibrafone, saxofone, trombone, clarinete e trompa. Nas três escolas, verificou-se valores mais baixos de exposição no contrabaixo, nomeadamente nas Aulas Individuais. Os valores de Lp,Cpico ultrapassaram o valor de ação inferior de 135 dB(C) na percussão e saxofone. Nas aulas teóricas os valores obtidos ultrapassaram recomendação de 35 dB(A). No que respeita à perceção dos alunos verificou-se que em geral consideram que a exposição a elevados níveis de pressão sonora não tem efeitos significativos na saúde. Apesar de se ter verificado que todos os alunos avaliados apresentam uma audição normal, tinnitus, hiperacusia, distorção e diplacusia foram identificados por um número significativo de alunos. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo refletem a necessidade de implementação de medidas de prevenção e controlo dos níveis de exposição dos alunos de música com vista a um aumento da sua consciencialização do risco.

Este proyecto pretende mostrar los desfases existentes entre señales de audio obtenidas de la misma fuente en distintos puntos distanciados entre sí. Para ello nos basamos en el análisis de la correlación de las señales de audio multi-microfónicas, para determinar los retrasos entre dichas señales. Durante las de tres partes diferentes que conforman este proyecto, explicaremos el dónde, cómo y por qué se produce este efecto en este tipo de señales. En la primera se presentan algunos de los conceptos teóricos necesarios para entender el desarrollo posterior, tales como la coherencia y correlación entre señales, los retardos de fase y la importancia del micro-tiempo. Además se explican diversas técnicas microfónicas que se utilizarán en la tercera parte. A lo largo de la segunda, se presenta el software desarrollado para determinar y corregir el retraso entre las señales que se deseen analizar. Para ello se ha escogido la herramienta de programación Matlab, ya que ha sido la más utilizada en la mayoría de las asignaturas que componen la titulación y por ello se posee el suficiente dominio de la misma. Además de presentar el propio software, al final de esta parte hay un manual de usuario del mismo, en el que se explica el manejo para posibles usos futuros por parte de otras personas interesadas. En la última parte se demuestra en varios casos reales, el estudio de la alineación de tomas multi-microfónicas en las cuales se produce en efecto que se intenta detectar y corregir. Aquí se realizan tres estudios de dicho fenómeno. En el primero se emplean señales digitales internas, concretamente ruido blanco, retrasando algunas muestras dichas señales unas de otras, para luego analizarlas con el software desarrollado y comprobar la eficacia del mismo. En el segundo se analizan la señales de audio obtenidas en el estudio de grabación de varios grupos de música moderna, mostrando los resultados del empleo del software en algunas de ellas, tales como las tomas de batería, bajo y guitarra. En el tercero se analizan las señales de audio obtenidas fuera del estudio de grabación, en donde no se dispone de las supuestas condiciones ideales que se tienen en el entorno que rodea a un estudio de grabación (acústicamente hablando). Se utilizan algunas de las técnicas microfónicas explicadas en el último apartado de la parte dedicada a los conceptos teóricos, para la grabación de una orquesta sinfónica, para luego analizar el efecto buscado mediante nuestro software, presentando los resultados obtenidos. De igual manera se realiza en el estudio con una agrupación coral de cuatro voces dentro de una Iglesia. ABSTRACT This project aims to show delays between audio signals obtained from the same source at diferent points spaced apart. To do this we rely on the analysis of the correlation of multi-microphonic audio signals, to determine the delay between these signals. During three diferent parts that make up this project, we will explain where, how and why this effect occurs in this type of signals. At the first part we present some of the theoretical concepts necessary to understand the subsequent development, such as coherence and correlation between signals, phase delays and the importance of micro-time. Also explains several microphone techniques to be used in the third part. During the second, it presents the software developed to determine and correct the delay between the signals that are desired to analyze. For this we have chosen the programming software Matlab , as it has been the most used in the majority of the subjects in the degree and therefore has suficient command of it. Besides presenting the software at the end of this part there is a user manual of it , which explains the handling for future use by other interested people. The last part is shown in several real cases, the study of aligning multi- microphonic sockets in which it is produced in effect trying to detect and correct. This includes three studies of this phenomenon. In the first internal digital signals are used, basically white noise, delaying some samples the signals from each other, then with software developed analyzing and verifying its efectiveness. In the second analyzes the audio signals obtained in the recording studio several contemporary bands, showing the results of using the software in some of them, such as the taking of drums, bass and guitar. In the third analyzes audio signals obtained outside the recording studio, where there are no ideal conditions alleged to have on the environment surrounding a recording studio (acoustically speaking). We use some of the microphone techniques explained in the last paragraph of the section on theoretical concepts, for the recording of a symphony orchestra, and then analyze the effect sought by our software, presenting the results. Similarly, in the study performed with a four-voice choir in a church.
