Abstract

As a Music Education Major at BYU and a competent trombone player, I recognize the value and importance of experiencing things first hand. In my experience theory and practice are different. The first lacks a certain depth of understanding and often carries with it false realizations and implications. Due to this, it becomes essential to discover ways of bringing real life experiences to our school and provide ways for students to engage themselves in these experiences. The Vienna Recording Project is a work in progress that will ultimately tap into the need that students have to experience things without ever having to leave BYU campus. I had to travel all the way to Vienna, Austria, the home of music and art, but for the students at BYU, they need only take a trip down to the Eyring Science Center. As a result of this project, trombone students will have the opportunity to play in a setting that imitates the experience of playing in a cathedral or concert hall in Vienna which are places where trombonists played historically (dating back to the 15th century) and where they continue to play today. This will provide these students with a greater depth of understanding in regards to performing on their instrument while honing in on its historical background.
