We'll use different books/articles as the launch for pragmatic, how-can-I-use-this-where-I-work discussions: application, not theory, is the focus of our time together! There are EXCELLENT BOOKS to read and discuss from cutting edge authors who have effective, culture-changing, real-time suggestions for changing the world of Work from the INSIDE - not just from the senior leadership down, but from anyone at any level of management/leadership in any business, large or small. >> I suggest that we begin with Marcus Buckingham's "Go Put Your Strengths to Work". You'll need a new/unused copy, because it contains a code that you can use to take an online Strengths Engagement Track (SET) assessment and get 2 film downloads (from "Trombone Player Wanted") - Please read p. 1-32 and watch the first film if possible before we meet. I look forward to our conversations!

Listeners in U.S. academia expect speakers to emphasize the important words in their presentations. If you neglect this, or do it incorrectly, your audience may lose focus and quit listening.

Revolutionizing Advertising As We Know It!!

School of Music Colloquium with Octavio Alberto Agustin Aquino (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, UNAM). Agustin Aquino is currently a Ph.D. student in Mathematics at the UNAM.

Abstract: Guerino Mazzola's counterpoint model, based in the concept of contrapuntal symmetry and strong dichotomy, is shown to be feasible for equally tempered scales of even cardinality (except four). The counterpoint theorem and Hichert's algorithm concerning the number of admitted successors of counterpoint intervals are generalized. This extension allows for an infinitely increasing tower of counterpoint theories towards arbitrary fine grained microtonality.
