Teachers using composition, for example, may ask students to invent
notation as a means to show what they are thinking in terms of musical concepts (Bamberger, 1991/1995; Upitis, 1992).
It was a small comfort to read Roslyn Sulcas' report in The New York Times last August that following the Dance
Notation Bureau's near-death experience two years earlier, Nancy Allison, the bureau's director of programs, could announce not only an expansion of staff but also a $500,000 endowment toward safeguarding its future.
What the Reader makes clear is that the mechanics and ethics of
notation were paramount to Cardew, from his earliest work to his last.
Curwen saw his sol-fa
notation system as doing for music reading something similar to what the modern phonetic alphabet does for reading.
A record of any
notation votes that occurred during the period between regularly scheduled meetings would be included at the end of the minutes of the later meeting, as would the minutes of any unscheduled FOMC meetings, such as conference calls, that occurred during that period.
Each song is fit onto one page, in simple musical
notation with the lyrics printed both within the music
notation and separately for easy reading.
So far as I know, 'digital numerals', standing for prices or anything else, are written in binary
notation (or in any variant of binary
notation) - numerals to the base two.
At a certain mysterious point (p67, again p117) the building suddenly becomes a 'critical text', 'critical' because of its definitive use of the formal 'language' that Eisenman reveals, 'text' because of its '
notation' and the 'marks' on the facade (not graffiti, but windows and balconies).
I am just a little amused to remember that, when these responses appeared in CW5, simple guitar chords were printed above the keyboard
notation. However, the guitar
notation disappeared when the entire set of responses was included six years later-in tune-text
notation, as Canticles 7 through 12-in the section just before the hymns in the LBW.
This paper reports on part of a wider study on the teaching and learning of the conventions of formal algebraic
notation. Through the analysis of paper tasks given to teachers I argue that not only does the inherent mathematical structure have an effect on the way in which an equation is manipulated but also the visual impact of
notation itself.
A
notation giving the dimensions of the taccuini in the caption of their illustration would also have been welcome.
For example, his discovery of propellorized polyhedra came out of a new
notation for describing polyhedra, proposed by mathematician John H.
On the other hand, in large, impersonal teaching institutions, more concrete
notation may be needed.
