Science of music is easy and fun to teach and learn with
several new book series from Schottenbauer Publishing! M. Schottenbauer,
Ph.D.'s books of graphs provide a visual analysis of both sound and musical
performance technique. Music instructors can use these graphs to add a dimension
of understanding to traditional musical concepts. For instance, teachers can
now use these books of graphs to show students the differences
between smooth wave functions and the "wobbly" nature of uneven
tone, the "edginess" of a bad note entrance, or the
"droopiness" of a note going flat at the end. These books may
be particularly useful in band, orchestra, or choral classes, where it is
inconvenient or prohibitively expensive to use scientific equipment to
illustrate concepts on individual student performance.
The book series by M. Schottenbauer, Ph.D., currently contain data from common band and orchestral instruments, plus recorders, keyboard, voice, and conducting. The samples include both good and bad sound and technique, thus providing a comparison and contrast for educational purposes.
