“…In the development of music teaching, both in China and abroad, a series of teaching methods have been derived from the characteristics and processes of their respective civilizations, among which, the systematic and theoretical "four major music pedagogies" have been produced in foreign countries, and even more effective music teaching methods have been extended, which have had a wide influence [1][2][3]. In the practice of music education in China, the "tradition" of "teaching by heart and mouth" has been formed for a long time, and since the music and songs in the school, foreign music culture has entered the country on a large scale, and this "tradition" has also been rapidly changed into the foreign pedagogical theories and teaching methods.…”

The traditional music teaching theory system is usually based on test scores as the only evaluation index, which is difficult to reflect the learning dynamics of students in real-time, thus making it difficult for teachers to strengthen the teaching of students’ weak knowledge points in real-time. To address this problem, this paper uses the DKVMN knowledge tracking model, combined with the recommendation algorithm to design a music theory analysis and recommendation model for college students based on deep learning analysis technology. In it, the Softmax function is utilized as the activation function of the output layer of the LSTM network, and the weight vector is increased to enhance the recurrence probability of students’ unfamiliar knowledge points. After the model design was completed, it was used in the music program of a teacher training school, and the overall effect of the use, the students’ personalized diagnostic reports, and the operation of the model were analyzed and explored separately. From 54.51% during the first test to a maximum of 81.42%, the accuracy rate progressed gradually. For the 7th time after the music theory knowledge level test, the experimental group of students scored 81.23, which was significantly higher than the score of the control group of students 74.25. The p-value tested was 0.004, which indicates a significant difference between the levels of the two groups.

To “Fill Up, Completely, the Whole Capacity of the Mind”: Listening with Attention in Late Eighteenth-Century Scotland

This essay explores a hitherto unsuspected intellectual relationship among three important thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment. The great philosopher and economist Adam Smith is known to have had a conception of instrumental music exceptional for his time in its foreshadowing of ideas generally associated with Eduard Hanslick. As I show here, Smith’s views were decisively influenced by the psychological theories of his countryman Thomas Reid in all likelihood by way of the extraordinary proto-cognitivist music theory of their contemporary John Holden, in particular the latter’s conceptualization of the faculty of attention. The innovative contributions of these writers constitute a compact and suggestive case study in the circulation of ideas about perception and listening between philosophy and music, and suggest that the Scottish Enlightenment attitude to psychology enabled a new kind of theorizing about the musical experience: one that foregrounded the importance of the faculty of attention in the process of perceiving music and sound.

Teaching musical meter to school-age students through the Ski-Hill graph

This thesis, Teaching Musical Meter to School-Age Students Through the Ski-Hill Graph, aims to demonstrate the “pedagogability” of modern meter theory, that is, that new scholarship on meter can translate into a coherent and practically implementable instructional curriculum, with various advantages for school-age students. The curriculum model developed in the thesis is derived from Richard Cohn’s work on and approaches to meter theory, the first comprehensive theory and approach to teaching and learning meter which focuses on the embodied psychoacoustic experience of sound and graphic representations of meter through mathematical music theory rather than notation-based understandings. The materials set out in the thesis demonstrate ways students might be taught to articulate their experience of meter. A unified approach, it incorporates Cohn’s ski-hill graph and other instruments of mathematical music theory such as the SkiHill app (Milne, 2018) and XronoBeat app (Milne, 2019) numbering for counting meter, cyclic graphs, and beat-class theory. The thesis demonstrates how traditional Western music theory has evolved due largely to non-Western influences to now possess the capacity for analyzing music from around the world. In addition, the outcomes it anticipates is a deeper engagement with music in classroom settings.
