Interdisplinary Physical Music: A Blind Spot in Education on Acoustics

Abstract

In attaining a degree in music, education on musical acoustics is multidisciplinary. Musical acoustics contains specialized knowledge, history, methodology, and practices, yet music itself is interdisciplinary. Ideally, acousticians recognize and validate that music is scientific and so, turn a blind eye or pay little attention to interdisciplinary physical music (i.e., migrating from music to musical acoustics). This paper examines the critical fault line erupting beneath the structural foundations of music through musical acoustics to navigate questions seldomly asked. These questions include–who should teach interdisciplinary physical music, e.g., music and mathematics, musical acoustics, psychoacoustics, what are the sets of curriculum standards and evaluation procedures suitable for the inter-multidisciplinary physical music. Finally, the paper proposes the reason why these paths are seldom crossed and provides a solution: a psychoacoustic approach to mathematical music theory as conduit to the intersection of fields with concepts traversing many disciplines.

[Retracted] The New Media Environment Presents Challenges and Opportunities for Music Education in Higher Education

“…Onwubiko and Calilhanna found that the professional core curriculum is the main carrier of cultivating the core literacy of students majoring in music education. The future role of music education major students in the new era is music teachers of basic education, whose core literacy includes four dimensions of “disciplinary literacy, interdisciplinary literacy, teacher ethics literacy, and introspection literacy” [ 9 ]. Li constructed professional core curriculum group by centering on “professional ability” and “teaching ability” in “discipline accomplishment” and taking “playing, singing, dancing, and editing teaching” as the standard for music education major students [ 10 ].…”

Research on the Application of Red Music in the Construction of Curriculum Civics Based on the Knowledge Dissemination Model

“…As an excellent carrier of red culture, red music not only brought spiritual inspiration to generations of people in the revolutionary era but also can play a unique and important role in students' ideological and political education today [10]. Red music can express and inspire people's thoughts and emotions and develop good music literacy and humanistic literacy.…”
