Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Guido was born towards the end of the 10th century in Italy, and learnt in the Benedictine Abbey near Ferrara. As a music teacher, one of the problems he experienced with his students was the fact that they were unable to sing by themselves despite singing for many years since they had not mastered even a single antiphon, which was generally a waste of time. The solution for this as suggested by Guido would be not to provide antiphons that lacked neumes (Taruskin & Gibbs 2012, Pg. 212). Another problem faced was ...

1. Response to Kirsten Frazier Yes Kirsten, you rightly said that the present number system invented by the Hindus was actually a cue taken from the Babylonian system. Indefinite spacing between numbers led to the invention of zero (Berlinghoff, 2004, p. 67). The Babylonian system was a sexagesimal system; with base 60. Big spaces were used between numbers to show larger shifts in place values. The Hindu numerals also utilized the addition system of the Egyptian system. Before zero was invented, the Babylonians could feel the empty spaces between numbers and they could see their absence. Historians have evidences ...

Communication does not require words, but body language, signs, behaviors, etc., which transmit information, often unintentionally. On the other hand, language consists of sounds and syllables that shape an intentional information sharing process (Yule, 1996). Language is characterized by: displacement (the capacity of speaking about past, present and future), arbitrariness (the form of human language), productivity (the creativity to utter endless utterances), cultural transmission (passing ...

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

This system was highly inconvenient since the individuals were often pushed into placing their trust on an individual and the telegraph came to end this (Carey 12). Distortion of the messages often led to the need for repetition or affected how well ...
