Unveiling a new source of Digital Resources for Musicology

Do you teach or study any aspect of musicology?

If you're looking for digital resources for musicology - say, digitized Beethoven scores - then this new website looks really useful.  Do take a look to see if it has anything relevant to your area of study or teaching!

 

Digital Resources for Musicology http://drm.ccarh.org/

 Quoting from the website homepage,

This website provides links to substantial open-access projects of use to musicians and musicologists. With a burgeoning number of digital resources available, remembering titles of sites and pathways to them can be difficult. Digital Resources in Musicology (DRM) is organized topically and provides a rapid search tool for specialties within heterogeneous collections. Neither the links or their descriptions are exhaustive.

Older projects predating the development of the internet are listed at ADAM: Archive of Digital Applications in Musicology. Curated digital and hybrid editions are itemized at EVE: Electronic and Virtual Editions. Harvard's Online Resources for Music Scholars offer a somewhat different, largely complementary mix of projects.

I wonder if any of our people are going to be out there, teaching this Saturday?  'Cos it's National Learn to Play Day

Boomwhackers ahoy!

Yesterday, Wandelweiser - today, Boomwhackers

Has Whittaker finally flipped?

Something for the teachers this time. Here's a Bibliolore blogpost about Boomwhackers - big bright plastic tubes that make a noise. Curious? Read it here.

Talking about teaching music

Dr Munro has given the Whittaker Library two books of conference papers, from the Estonian Academy of Music. It's hard to make conference papers sound zippy and cool, but if you're interested in techniques of teaching, then there's probably a lot here to interest you. (Relax! The papers are printed in Estonian and English.) The Estonian Academy of Music has a department called the Institute of Interpretation Pedagogics, and these papers come from recent conferences about music pedagogy.

• Just type "Estonian Academy of Music" into our

library catalogue's search-engine.
