Making Music with Technology Symposium 2006: First Stop Indiana
What was Symposium 2006 • An event intended to bring collegiate music programs in Indiana together to collaborate on music performance, research, and teaching over Internet2 • Achieve continuity with Internet and Internet2 music activities • Serve as a national model for collegiate music programs everywhere • Collaborate with music colleagues worldwide on mutually beneficial endeavours in performance, research, and teaching
Why was Symposium 2006 necessary? • Many music colleagues in Indiana knew nothing about Internet2 • There was more to Internet2 musical activities than performances and master classes • There was no comprehensive way in which to understand what music colleagues in Indiana were doing with the Internet and Internet2 (beyond email and web use) • There was a desire (on the part of the symposium director) to see if there was an interest in building a community of performers, researchers, and teachers using the Internet as a vehicle
Who participated in Symposium 2006? • Presenters • Martin Brooks, National Research Centre, Ottawa • Pace Sturdevant, National Arts Centre, Ottawa • Gilles Comeau, University of Ottawa • Michael Bussiere, performer (Laval University?) • Philip Donner, Kuhmo, Finland • Raphael Hernandez, California State University- Hayward (East Bay) • William Budai, IUPUI • Brett Hoag (and guitar students), IUPUI • Matthew Way, New World Symphony • Tom Snook, New World Symphony • Susan Scott, IHETS • Ruth Blankenbaker, CILC • Christianne Orto, Manhattan School of Music • Commentators • Ann Doyle, I2 • Debra Hedden, University of Kansas (Lawrence) • Brian Shepard, University of Southern California • Martin Brooks, National Research Center, Ottawa • Frank Clark, Georgia Institute of Technology • Matti Ruippo, Finland (in abstentia) • Sam Leong, Hong Kong Institute of Education (in abstentia) • 14 colleges and universities in Indiana
What video transmission standards were used? • HD-TV (Canada) • H.323 (California, also run simultaneously with other visual media for commentators) • DVTS (New World Symphony) • Powerpoint and MPEG video files run simultaneously with presentations
What were some of the obstacles for Symposium participants with regard to I2? • Lack of robust Internet connections • Only Indiana University (with 8 connected campuses), Purdue University, and University of Notre Dame had I2 connections • Lack of interest among school administrators for pushing technology on campus • Lack of interest among fellow music colleagues for using technology • Lack of knowledge regarding what others in the state were doing with the Internet and Internet2 • Lack of resources and expertise to use the Internet and Internet2 for music performance, research, and teaching • Lack of personal and professional time to engage in Internet-based initiatives
What were some of the outcomes of the Symposium • Desire for Symposium participants to be connected for videoconferencing • Establish H.323 videoconferencing capabilities between campuses that are Mac and PC-based • Use the Internet to transmit master classes between colleagues and undergraduate students from different campuses • Use the Internet to mentor student teachers in the field • Develop hybrid courses that involve on-campus and on-line participation (i.e., some classes for a course would require being on campus and others could be done over the Internet) • Develop specialty courses (e.g., Alexander Technique) that could not be financially fielded by a small institution that could be transmitted over the Internet from another location • IUPUI music faculty want to collaborate with Gilles Comeau and his piano research facility in Ottawa • Setting up an electronic forum for discussion of future directions and ongoing developments of Internet and Internet2 based activities among symposium participants
What were compliments and criticisms of the Symposium? • Transmissions were quite informative and well-designed • Tech support at IUPUI was great • Symposium was well-organized • Learning about IHETS I2 connections with Indiana collegiate institutions and the resources of CILC • Overemphasis on musical performance with regard to Internet2 use • Not sure how the have-not institutions are going to be able to work with Internet2 • Wondering how to sustain the momentum of interest generated by the Symposium when back on campus
