Jia-Senior Thesis

-While historical musicology for the main part limits itself to musical objects, documents, and sources, -systematic musicology encompasses a number of composite disciplines: music anthropology, music ethnology, music sociology, music psychology, music philosophy, music aesthetics, music therapy, and music education -an acoustic layer, a structural layer, a bodily layer, a tense layer, an emotional layer, and a spiritual or existential layer. communicating from all music’s layers of meaning to the human consciousness. -something that cannot be described technically and is unmanageable. Another is that we are fearful of being bogged down in a quagmire of arguments over values and ideological contradictions, over philosophical, social, and personal identity constructions https://books.google.com/books?id=1lOx9nr0aHkC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-22/edition-12/ro

I taught another beginner yesterday, who received some instruction, which she had forgotten. As a result, she had poor posture and position as well as a bad bow hold. However, she was very willing to change. I really emphasized in a comically intense way how important relaxing was, saying no squeezing and no straight fingers. She went through violin "rehab," so I fixed her crooked bow, straight pinky, and straight thumb using a relaxed hand demonstration, draping the fingers over the bow. I also corrected the stiff elbow movement, which caused her crooked bow, and her violin hold, which had no space between the neck and the crevice between the thumb and first finger and was too high up. A common problem was that the hand knuckles were turned away from the fingerboard, almost perpendicular to it. This causes straight fingers that can't reach the notes. I fixed her finger posture by telling her that they needed a squarish shape and needed to stand on the tips of the fingers
