Abstract
During this tutorial we hope to communicate some of the enjoyment associated with musical acoustics by presenting musical examples along with scientific concepts. During each segment of the presentation, the relevant musical instrument will be introduced, and at the conclusion of each section, the piece of music performed will feature the appropriate instrument family. Physics principles related to tone generation, instrumental timbre, pitch change, and amplification will be discussed. Musical examples will be performed by The Ohio State University String Quintet, Paul Robinson, Coordinator; Michael Davis, violin; Laurel Butler, violin; Edward Adelson, viola; William Conable, cello; and Paul Robinson, bass; by The Ohio State University Woodwind Quintet, Katherine Borst Jones, coordinator; Katherine Borst Jones, flute; Robert Sorton, oboe; Robert Jones, clarinet; Christopher Weait, bassoon; Heidi Wick, horn; by The Ohio State University Brass Ensemble, James Akins, coordinator; William Campbell, trumpet; Peter Gibbons, trumpet; Joseph Duchi, trombone; James Akins, tuba; by Steven Glaser, piano; and by Michael Bump, percussion. For the gala conclusion, The Ohio State University Chamber Orchestra will bring all instrument families together.
