Learning challenges associated with Instrumental Music I and II courses atOsaka Aoyama University (preliminary report):Focus on the learning experiences of beginner piano students
Get PDFThis study reports on the challenges faced by beginner piano students taking the first-year courses of Instrumental Music I (first semester) and Instrumental Music II (second semester) offered by the Department of Child Education, Faculty of Health Sciences, Osaka Aoyama University.
For beginners, the credit requirement to pass Instrumental Music II is mastering No. 90 in Ferdinand Beyer’s Elementary Instruction Book. This study reviews the learning processes of students who did not pass this credit requirement and identifies for further consideration the following four learning challenges faced by the faculty: (1) initiatives to improve sight-reading skills for sheet music, (2) formulation of a plan to prepare/review the curriculum over the fi rst-year summer break, (3) how to approach study materials other than the Beyer method, and (4) a review of the syllabus for Instrumental Music II.departmental bulletin pape
How does a body composition analyzer determine body composition?
Get PDFWe examined how a body composition analyzer determines body composition. Using measured body weight and the bioelectrical impedance value, the analyzer estimates body fat composition as a stastically confirmed value based on age, gender and height. By comparing two subjects of the same age, gender and body weight, the taller has a smaller body fat component, and a larger impedance value corresponds to a larger fat component. The fat component does not depend on age, but the visceral fat area is estimated to be higher for a male over 40 years old than for a female or a younger person.departmental bulletin pape
