Timothy Johnson replied to the topic Bylaws – 3rd draft in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month agoGreat work everyone! The one thing that still trips me up is the first line: “scholars of 20th- and 21st-century music.” The group is Post-1945. The quoted part implies that we include pre-1945 and project an end date for the group. Maybe it outlives us?
I suggest: “scholars of music since 1945” instead of the above.

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 1 month agoHi everyone, thanks to those who commented on the last draft of the bylaws. I’ve uploaded a third draft. Based on the discussion, I only changed a few details related to defining quorum. (There wasn’t enough discussion to yield a clear consensus, so I went with 10 people or 5% of the membership, whichever is larger, with membership defined as the…[Read more]

Antares Boyle replied to the topic Please comment on revised by-laws in the discussion
SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoGood point! We had 21 responses last year. That’s 29% of our HC membership, and I would guess the average attendance at meetings is lower. (Although I suppose if we are going to use attendance numbers as a metric I had better make sure we can find those numbers… using the HC membership would certainly be a bit easier!)

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoI think it’s worth asking how many responses you had to the survey last year—if 20% of the average of the last two meetings works out to be more people than responded, that would presumably cause some problems.

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi Bob,
Thanks for these comments! I agree that changing it to a larger percentage makes sense. How about 20%?
If anyone else has comments or suggestions, please feel free to weigh in!

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoThanks, Bob. Yes, we thought about this, too. I borrowed the quorum percentage from the Pop Music IG, which makes more sense for them since their membership is large (of course, nothing compares to our FB page membership 😀 )
We could definitely increase ours to 20%-25%, granted people vote and stay engaged with the IG issues.

SMT Post-1945 Music Analysis Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoThanks for these revised by-laws, Tara and Laura! I suggested one small wording change and also added a comment about the quorum… it occurs to me that a 5% quorum in a group of this size could easily mean just two or three people! I don’t feel strongly about this if there’s a good reason to stick with 5%, but perhaps a larger quorum of 20%-25%…[Read more]

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi everyone, hope you’re doing well.
I realize it may be too busy right now to expect replies, but I’ll try:
Does anyone know of any good examples from pop for teaching contour segments (csegs)? I’m teaching a kind of generalized hybridized ‘music after 1900’ course that combines pop, jazz, and Western art music (Wam). Wanted to try this topic,…[Read more]

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group (SMT PMIG) on Humanities Commons 5 years, 3 months agoTraditional music theory curricula are increasingly scrutinized. Students regularly misunderstand the scope of epistemology and scope of theory, find theory intimidating and difficult, and fail to see its relevance to their career goals.
