PENGARUH BODY PERCUSSION TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN RITMIK GERAK TARI SISWA KELAS VIII SMP LABSCHOOL UPI BANDUNG

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan pola ritmik gerak tari sebelum dan sesudah diberi perlakuan pembelajaran body percussion di kelas VIII C SMP Labschool UPI Bandung. Pertanyaan masalah pada penelitian ini diantaranya tentang tahapan pembelajaran body percussion, mencari pengaruh pembelajaran body percussion terhadap kemampuan ritmik gerak tari, dan hasil penerapan tahapan pembelajaran body percussion. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah study pre-eksperiment dengan one grup pretest–posttest design. Teknik pengumpulan sampel mengguanakan purposive sampling. Temuan penelitian, yakni pertama, pada tahapan pembelajaran terdiri dari apresiasi, pengenalan, pelatihan, dan evaluasi body percussion. Kedua, hasil uji hipotesis pada penelitian ini adalah taraf signifikan adalah 0,05 dengan hasil uji t-test mendapatkan -18,947. Maka, t hitung < t tabel atau (-18,947 < -2,060). Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Ho diterima dan Ha ditolak, artinya terdapat perbedaan secara signifikan, nilai kemampuan ritmik gerak tari siswa sebelum dan sesudah diberi perlakuan pembelajaran body percussion. Ketiga, hasil penerapan tahapan pembelajaran body percussion adalah siswa dapat mengkritisi tari Saman dan latin groove kids dengan melihat unsur-unsur tempo, dinamika, pola ritmik gerak, dan picth. Pada tahap pengenalan siswa mampu mempraktekkan pola gerak body percussion dengan tingkat kesulitan gerak yaitu mudah, sedang, dan sulit, serta mampu mengungkapkan apa yang telah mereka praktekkan. Tahap pelatihan siswa mampu mempraktekkan empat pola gerak body percussion yang telah dirancang guru dan mampu bekerja sama antara satu dengan yang lainnya untuk mencapai tujuan bersama. Hal ini disebut dengan pembelajaran kolaboratif. Tahap evaluasi untuk tempo masih kurang tepat, dinamika sudah bagus dan terdengar dengan keras, pola ritmik gerak sudah dapat dihafal, tetapi kurang bagus dalam mempraktekkannya, terakhir pada unsur picth bunyi tinggi rendahnya yang dihasilkan dari musik internal sudah terdengar jelas

Suspending test masses in terrestrial millihertz gravitational-wave detectors: a case study with a magnetic assisted torsion pendulum

Current terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors operate at frequencies above 10 Hz. There is strong astrophysical motivation to construct low-frequency gravitational-wave detectors capable of observing 10 mHz - 10Hz signals. While space-based detectors provide one means of achieving this end, one may also consider terretrial detectors. However, there are numerous technological challenges. In particular, it is difficult to isolate test masses so that they are both seismically isolated and freely falling under the influence of gravity at millihertz frequencies. We investigate the challenges of low-frequency suspension in a hypothetical terrestrial detector. As a case study, we consider a Magnetically Assisted Gravitational-wave Pendulum Intorsion (MAGPI) suspension design. We construct a noise budget to estimate some of the required specifications. In doing so, we identify what are likely to be a number of generic limiting noise sources for terrestrial millihertz gravitational-wave suspension systems (as well as some peculiar to the MAGPI design). We highlight significant experimental challenges in order to argue that the development of millihertz suspensions will be a daunting task. Any system that relies on magnets faces even greater challenges. Entirely mechanical designs such as Zollner pendulums may provide the best path forward.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

Surfaces

Surfaces is a work for two percussionists in four movements. It uses a variety of small percussion instruments, keyboard percussion, and two specially built kalimbas. This document contains both the score and an analysis of the piece that covers instrument choice, performance practice, form and compositional techniques employe

Discussion and analysis of a graduate recital: an examination of Gary Burton's "Chega De Saudade," Steve Reich's "Marimba Phase," Michael Gordon's "XY," John Cage's "In a Landscape," Minoru Miki's "Time for Marimba," and Milton Babbitt's "Homily"

Master's Project (M.Mu.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2017This paper discusses some of the many facets of percussion music through the examination and analysis of the following works: Gary Burton's Chega De Saudade for solo vibraphone; Steve Reich's Marimba Phase for two marimbas; Michael Gordon's XY for five drums; the author's own arrangement for multiple-percussion setup of John Cage's In a Landscape; Minoru Miki's Time for Marimba for solo marimba; and Milton Babbitt's Homily for solo snare drum. As the repertoire and performance practices of percussion continue to develop, there are many issues of note to the studying percussionist. These range from technical concerns, to issues of interpretation. Each work exemplifies certain of these issues, and this paper seeks to glean better understanding of those through analysis and study of the works

Body Percussion and Team Building through the BAPNE Method

BAPNE Method is a method based on cognitive stimulation integrating music and movement through body percussion. The aim of this research is to explore its whole potential as a tool to build teams. Team building is a philosophy for work design, and since over two decades ago, it defends that obtaining a high performance and organizing efficiency is more useful to perceive employees as interdependent members in a team of work than individuals ones. From this viewpoint, this research advocates that BAPNE Method’s body percussion practice will have an impact on this vision of team work directly. For its own characteristics, body percussion stimulates ways of contact in movement, which ease social ties and, especially, promote group cohesion. Through social, body and, affective dimension; BAPNE Method is capable of developing a shared vision and a single aim, to stimulate team work identity and an atmosphere of trust; and finally, to improve individual communication and satisfaction levels in group tasks
