Influence of compensatory mechanisms arising from violin playing using the DNS method
Hryzlíková, Eliška ; Oplatková, Lenka (advisor) ; Pelíšková, Pavlína (referee)
This thesis investigates compensatory mechanisms arising from playing the violin. It summarizes the existing literature on the topic of the influence of violin playing on the posture of violinists and proposes a compensatory exercise according to the DNS method. The theoretical part describes the "ideal" position for violin playing, the effect of ergonomic aids, kinesiology of playing, anatomy of the shoulder girdle, and finally the compensatory mechanisms stemming from holding and playing the violin while sitting and connected health problems. The experimental part presents the results of case studies of 8 non-professional violin players aged from 18 to 30 years, evaluation of their posture and musculoskeletal disorders, and the proposed compensatory exercise according to the DNS method. The anamnestic data were obtained through a survey and the health condition of the musculoskeletal system is investigated using a kinesiological examination (inspection and palpation, anthropometric measurements, and specific tests for deep stabilizing system and scapula). Inspection and palpation measurement cannot be objectively measured and therefore the obtained measurements serve only as a relative guide for the evaluation. The greatest muscle load is generally in the areas of cervical spine and shoulder...

Compositions for Violin by Modern Greek and Cypriot Composers Solon Michaelides, Alkis Baltas and Andreas Argyrou
Chira, Kyriaki ; Kubátová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the contemporary works of selected Cypriot composers for violin. Throughout the centuries, since ancient times until today, Cyprus has been under the influence of many foreign conquerors including the Arabs, Venetians, Franks, Ottomans, and the English, among many others, who passed through Cyprus and left their marks on Cypriot cultural life. Natives, occupiers, and continuously migrating populations from Europe, Asia, and Africa formed a multicultural environment, where languages, religions and dogmas, ethnic traditions, education, and living standards have been diverse, and in constant interaction and transformation. It is necessary to mention the current violent division between the Greek and Turkish people has still not been overcome. This conflict has left an indelible mark on musical traditions. Cypriot folklore is also reflected in the work of the modern generation of composers. I believe that Cypriot classical music is a not very commonly known issue in the Czech Republic, and I have written this thesis in the hopes that it will increase awareness of Cypriot music. In this Diploma thesis I introduce three modern composers from Cyprus and Greece: Solon Michaelides (1905- 1979), Alkis Baltas (*1948) and Andreas Argyrou (*1957) and their compositions for violin. I focus...

Preliminary identification of damping properties of tonewood
Povolný, J. ; Kozánek, Jan ; Zapoměl, Jaroslav
Besides elasticity parameters, damping of the material is the crucial parameter of the function of a violin and also of other stringed instruments with a wooden soundboard. Assuming tonewood as an orthotropic linear elastic continuum, our aim is to contribute to hypothesis, that each orthotropic elastic constant has its appropriate loss factor - partial dampings. Dynamic experiments are based on the impulse excitation and the steady state harmonic response is calculated by Fourier transform of time-sampled measured signals (excitation and response). Frequency transfer function fitting identification method can determine complex modal and spectral eigen-parameters, mainly eigenfrequencies and eigendampings.

Violin Teaching Methods With the Focus on the Suzuki Method and Colourstrings Method
Kořenová, Zuzana ; Perglerová, Marka (advisor) ; Kubátová, Gabriela (referee)
The Diploma Thesis addresses the methods of teaching playing the violin and related teaching materials. The first part of the Thesis is devoted to traditional Czech schools, which are at the moment the most common resource material used at the Czech ZUS basic fine arts schools. I briefly introduce methodical materials intended for the education of beginners by Josef Micka and Magdalena Micková, Otakar Ševčík, Jan Čermák and Jaroslav Beran, Zdeněk Gola and Eva Bublová. The second part, being the centrepiece of the Thesis, is focused on two pedagogical methods which are non-Czech by origin - namely the Suzuki method and the Colourstrings method. Shinichi Suzuki created his method in post-war Japan and his accent in teaching playing an instrument is in the development of the potential of a person as well as the society, not really achieving true mastery in violin playing. The Thesis includes a description of its cornerstones and foundations. The last method addressed in the Thesis is the Colourstings method, emerging partly from the Suzuki method. Its author, Géza Szilvay, created it for his daughter, now a professional violinist. Szilvay is currently heavily involved in a tour of lectures on musical pedagogy and long-distance teaching projects. He is based at The East Helsinki Music Institute and...

A System of Instrumental Education in the UK
Jelínková, Kateřina ; Tichá, Alena (advisor) ; Perglerová, Marka (referee)
This Master thesis describes possibilities of instrumental tuition in the United Kingdom. It focuses on curricular documents as A Common Approach and The Importance of Music - A National Plan for Music Education, further on music services - organizations which mediate music tuition and also on the system of musical examinations, which is very different than way musical exams in the Czech Republic. The thesis outlines also the topic of El Sistema, a music-educational project founded in Venezuela, in the last decade gaining considerable popularity also in Europe - especially in the United Kingdom. The thesis pays attention also to ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and its activities - creating syllables and other publications, publishing music scores, organization of music examinations and providing diplomas. In the field of music examinations the thesis focuses on Violin and Music theory. The last chapter if this thesis focuses on comparing some aspects of the instrumental tuition in the United Kingdom and a system of music schools in the Czech Republic. The conclusion brings a suggestion, how could the Czech curriculum for music schools improve.
