Abstract
Workshops following the Baltimore meeting, supported with ASA “Initiative” funds, sponsored by the Technical Committee on Musical Acoustics and the Education Committee, include one section that is a direct outgrowth of a series of workshops funded with Title II funds at Indiana State University during the past several years. Workshops have been conducted at both the elementary and secondary levels with elementary classroom and music teachers participating as well as junior high school science, high school general science, physical science, and physics teachers. The object of the workshops is to use musical acoustics as a vehicle to generate enthusiasm for science. At the elementary and secondary general science levels, this is accomplished by assisting teachers to build simple instrumentation illustrating various musical resonance phenomena. Additional sophistication is added to the high school physics program by using a keyboard as an introductory Fourier synthesizer. In this presentation, the workshop program will be discussed, a simple device illustrating string and air column resonances will be demonstrated, as will be a keyboard‐computer combination to show simple Fourier analysis and synthesis.
