Music Store & Outreach Center A place of EXPLORATION This project addresses the problem of the lack of awareness and appreciation of stringed instruments and the various forms of classical and contemporary music to musicians, under privileged youth, and the general public of the community.
String Theory seeks to foster the appreciation of stringed instruments and classical music while promoting an environment of exploration by blending the two vibrant worlds of children’s pop culture and traditional classical music. It will create unique potential for the community by exposing them to the importance of music as part of children’s education. Additionally this project offers the the availability and convenience to musicians of the needed services of a full service music store and repair shop.

RESTORING BROKEN CONNECTIONS ©© Musicians: Mission connections The connection to local musicians and the on location luthier is the idea of preservation. To preserve their culture of art and passion and promote the idea that it is passed on and explored in the context of contemporary culture. ©© Youth: Educational connections Promote to the youth in the community the excitement of a classical music education and it's bold and important connections to contemporary music and pop culture. Portraying the excitement of music and the role it can play in their lives. ©© Community: Visible connections Create visibility of the program within the community and allow for unlimited connections with other similar Cincinnati programs and groups. Allow the community to see the benefits for the youth in the interest of making the city a better place.
To succeed in the built environment: Alter perceptions of what a musical environment should be by providing a visually stimulating environment that promotes creativity and by giving life and movement(vibrancy) to a re imagined space.

WHAT PROBLEMS ARE BEING ADDRESSED? ©© Enlightenment: I want this project to bring music to the community through a fusion of classical and contemporary styles to portray that music is a universal language ©© Opportunity: to children in the community who don't have music education made available to them in other ways. To show them how music can be used as a creative outlet and can relate to their lives and help with school. ©© Authenticity: availability and convenience to musicians, local and traveling, offering the needed and desired services of traditional quality while keeping the latest trends and technology. ©© Exploratory: a welcoming and comfortable space for music and instruments to be freely explored, portrayed and understood. ©© Personal Statement: I am interested in this topic because I am a musician myself and I have seen that music education is lacking or is nonexistent in public schools. I would like to provide a way for youth in the community to have access to music and to understand its importance in their lives and their educations. I want to form a place to facilitate interaction with the community, particularly musicians to promote the importance of music and to spread a passion for it. I want to explore the effects of a music education of a child’s overall education and social interactions. I would like to investigate how the local community in general and the music community can become involved in this effort. Then how this can be translated into a built environment that enhances and encourages this interaction and diversity in a love for music.

Non-Musical benefits of Music Education for Children “Music Advocacy: Moving From Survival to Vision� by John L. Benham - early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning - link between music and spatial intelligence (the ability to perceive the world accurately and to form mental pictures of things) - Learn to think creatively and solve problems by imagining various solutions - more successful in standardized tests and get better grades - provides a glimpse of other cultures leading to compassion and respect of other races - Learn craftsmanship as they study how details are put together - Learn the value of sustained effort to achieve success and the real rewards of hard work - Enhances teamwork skills and discipline. Commitment - Provides a means of self-expression which leads to self-esteem - Skills necessary for the workplace: students learn to communicate and cooperate with one another - Teaches young people to conquer fear and take risks. To deal with a little anxiety early and often makes it less of a problem later

MUSIC AND ACADEMIC CONNECTIONS

Basics of math and music connection.
- basic use of math in music: chords, time sig, dotted half notes - music pleasing due to mathematical structure - music and cognitive performance: credit to active playing of instruments as the same parts of the brain are active when engaged in spatial-temporal reasoning - part-whole concept: musician constantly mentally subdividing=fractions, decimals, % - slow work of practice, attention to detail, discipline=strong math skills - learning math through music retain info better
The Mozart Effect - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - -
basic math used in music theory (chords, time signatures, notes) source of research in abstract algebra, set theory, number theory research shows certain pieces of music end up being more popular due to “mathematical” structure Pachelbel’s Canon in D: repetitive structure popularity of hip-hop music due to our innate mathematical need for rhythm and patterns mind-body connections between music and math – Mozart Effect better performance on spatial-temporal tasks immediately after listening to Mozart same parts of the brain active more credit to actually playing instruments (Dr. Frances Rauscher, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh)her article in 2006 Educational Psychologist: “young children provided with instrumental instruction score significantly higher on tasks measuring spatial-temporal cognition, hand-eye coordination and arithmetic.” Due to amount of overlap between music skills and math skills Part whole concept (fractions, decimals, %) highly relevant in understanding rhythm Musicians required to continually subdivide beat Context changed but structure is same as any part-whole problem in math Visual and spatial skills used every time child practices an instrument strengthens mentalphysical connection Link of physical practice of music and strong mathematical abilities Kid who plays instrument can perform more complex math operations Slow work of practice, attention to detail and discipline to learn excellent prep for building strong math skills LTTA Learning Through The Arts: lessons using art, dance, story, song to learn math, science, others Patterns of rhythm, beat harmony, melody, embodied mathematical expressions

MUSIC AND COLOR - UC Berkeley: humans share a common emotional palette when it comes to music and color - Appears to be intuitive and cross cultural barriers - Faster-paced major key = lighter more vivid yellow colors - Slower-paced in minor key = darker grayer bluer colors - Implications for creative therapies, advertising, music gadgets - Create more emotionally engaging electronic music visualizers? - Right now colors and patterns appear random not taking emotion into account - Insight into synesthesia - Bright, vivid, warm = upbeat - Dark, dull, cool = somber - - - - - - - - - - - - -
sense of hearing has a much wider scope than sight. Ear can register from 9 to 11 octaves of sound Eye is restricted to 7 fundamental color tones Do – red Re – orange Mi – yellow Fa – green Sol – blue La – indigo Si (ti) – violet Do – red Fundamental notes 1st, 3rd, 5th, corresponds with 3 primary colors Least perfect tone, 7th corresponds with purple, least perfect color
51
ACOUSTICS - wood: resonates easily, absorbs some sound, lets some sounds pass thru, some reflects back. Good finishing material in good sounding rooms - new absorptive glass-like products absorb enough to reduce harsh reflectivity - fiberglass and rock wool– good sound absorption - absorb sound by slowing the velocity of the air particles carrying the wave - wood absorbs sound best with in the pressure zone of a sound wave - sound waves are at highest pressure when at lowest velocity - waves generally at highest pressure at room boundaries - carpet absorbs too much high frequency sound - diffusers re-scatter sound back into room to reduce wave interference - absorbers - recording studios: insulation material in walls (+4dB), floating a wall (+15 dB) % of room surface that needs to be absorber material RT60 = .049 V Sa RT60= reverb time, seconds V = room volume, cu. Ft. S = room surface area a = average absorption coefficient of room surfaces
52
Acoustic Principles: - Most speech information is found between 3000-4000 Hz - Sound travels through air 1087 ft per sec - Wood 11,700 ft per sec - Steel 18,000 ft per sec - String’s of violin produce cylindrical waves - Music benefits from a longer reverberation time (over 1 sec) - To parallel flat or concave surfaces cause flutter: change geometries or add absorbers - Eliminate standing waves: nonparallel walls, undulating ceilings - Concave causes focusing and creep - Convex diffuses fairly constant Acoustic Design: - massive materials keep sound from traveling to the other side - thin plywood good absorber at low freq. good reflector at high freq. - resilient flooring: vinyl, cork, rubber reflective, but useful for impact noises like footfall - CMU’s made with hollow cores and normal weight concrete can attenuate sound well - Well separated double glazing = superior sound attenuation - Laminated glass - Reflects higher freq but because glass resonates absorbs good amounts of low freq. - Soft porous acoustically absorbent materials are often covered with perforated metal or other for protection and stiffness - These coverings are designed to be acoustically transparent except at higher freq. - With smaller holes they can pass thru too - Staggering holes improves absorption - Open weave fabric is completely transparent to sound…only a decorative cover on absorbent wall covering In Space: - Layer of air between absorptive material and rigid surface - Installation: - Hanging absorptive material below ceiling and supporting it away from wall works better than attaching - Best, hang cubes or tetrahedrons from ceiling - Thick blocks installed at a distance = edge absorption very large - Treat ceiling, floor, and wall opposite the sound source approx. equally - Carpet best absorber on floor

DIGITAL INTERACTION
INTERVIEW about recording Drew Phipps Producer & Editor, Soundlink Studio - depends on how many musicians in room - need quite a large space for piano - center of room has best sound - computer sounds are audible in recordings - movable walls are a great asset to separate musicians playing at the same time and to make the space useable in a variety of ways - for recording room want to isolate each persons sound

As a creative and malleable project, an artist or furniture designer will be commissioned to help design and contruct the final suspended room shapes. It is neccessary for someone with much experience and knowledge in steam bending bamboo to be involved. It is also very important for the people involved to be local to contrubute as part of the community and be able to collaborate and see the results.
