Pedagogue Josef Soukup

The theme of my thesis is the patriotic pedagogue Josef Věnceslav Soukup (1819-1882) whose life was full of feverish activity in the educational system. Moreover he was a prolific author of textbooks (one of his famous is The Technological Natural History) and musical works - we can mention his Wreath of fine songs which includes the song Wayfarer that is known for today. In music he paid attention to carols and Christmas songs and plays as well (the most famous is The Young Shephers of Bethlehem). J. V. Soukup excelled in almost every field, not only in pedagogy and music but also in drawing (he even taught Mikoláš Aleš, the well-known Czech painter), chemistry, technology and cultivation of plants. Moreover he contributed to many pedagogical magazines. The beginnins of his teacher's career were not easy, he strained for an appropriate position and during that time he had hardly anything to eat. He gave private lessons for food and played in pubs with the band of musicians to earn some money. However, as really hardworking and diligent student he got stipendium and thus he had not have any financial problems since that time. He knew K. S. Amerling (a great pedagogue who participated in the efforts of a higher girls' education) whose lectures he attended and was influenced by his philosophy. Josef Věnceslav...

Music scores notation support system
Rejthar, Edvard ; Vojíř, Stanislav (advisor) ; Smutný, Zdeněk (referee)
Musicians need to notate their melody into music scores. If they use paper (which is highly comfortable), they lose the digitalizing advantages -- easy sharing and computer playback. On the other side, computer user interface has not been adjusted for music notation and the control of music editors is not trivial. So musicians tend to notate the music in plain text. The innumerable count of internet songbook can serve us as an example where the music is in a minimalistic way indicated by chord marks, positioned above the lyrics. Nevertheless, this plain text can not by easily played. Our work concerns program Mordent that tends to serve as a connecting link between plain text and music score. It is an application for musicians; it is written in object-oriented PHP and uses typesetting processor Lilypond to create PDF, PNG, and MIDI files from user input. First version of the application was limited and not much user-friendly. The user testing brought some new improving suggestions. This work documents the course of the testing and significant changes that extended the application: new editor behaviour, mobile-devices compatible redesign, and eventually the set of games, suitable for practising of musical hearing ability and music theory.
