Music Content Praxis (5113) Technology Questions and
Answers 100% Solved
Hypercardioid Microphone - ✔✔Similar to Cardioid but the response from the sides is less,
which makes it more directional. Used when isolation of sound sources is important. They are
less sensitive to off-axis sounds and will not pick up near-by sources as easily. Due to their
more
directional nature, they are less likely to pick up feedback.
Omnidirectional microphone - ✔✔Pick up sound equally from all directions. They produce a
very natural sound and does not have to be aimed specifically. This is more useful when the
sound source is moving around. Lavalier microphones are this type of microphone. Undesired
sound sources may be picked up with this microphone though.
When music license is necessary or unnecessary for student recordings - ✔✔Under the 1976
copyright act, music teachers are exempt from copyright recording laws only if they make a
single copy of a student performance of a copyrighted work for educational purposes or
documentation.
, A licensing fee is required for each copy of the recording that is duplicated and distributed.
The licensee must pay a fee to the copyright holder of 9.1 cent per song that is five minutes or
shorter or 1.75 cents fro every minute or fraction that exceeds five minutes.
Ideal features of a classroom computer for music use - ✔✔helps to reinforce lesson materials,
provide launching pad for music technology instruction, and offer students a wide array of
resources for making music
Should have enough RAM and storage to run multimedia programs, be internet ready, and
have
audio input and output features, speakers, and CD- or DVD-ROM player.
Should also include MIDI, notation, and sequencing software.
MIDI technology (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) - ✔✔Provides a standard "language"
of
MIDI that allows communication between keyboards, computers, and even cell phones.
MIDI data includes tempo settings, which notes are to be played, what rhythms are to be
played,
