Organized by: Corinne Arrouvel UFSCar Brazil and Oliver Peter Graber, JAM MUSIC LAB Private University Music, Austria


Dr. Corinne Arrouvel, French, is an associate professor at UFSCar-Sorocaba teaching chemistry with a theoretical speciality. Her research interest is broad and multidisciplinary, applying quantum and classical methods to characterize the solid state in Physics and Chemistry for a wide range of applications (such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, biocompatibility, origins of life, pollutions, energy materials, mineralogy and geoscience). From her work in France, England and Brazil, 24 articles have been published in international journals in diverse areas, cited over 1150 times, with an h-index of 14.  She has given more than 70 conference presentations and guest lectures. In addition to her scientific background, she was in France professional in sportive activities and water lifeguarding, Latin dancer amateur and entered the chorinho´s musical community in Brazil.


Objectives:

Playing music can be a leisure, ludic practice, known to develop social bonds, to improve intellectual capacity and more recently explored in musicotherapy. Studying music from its origins, effects on the society to its applications can be connect to science, for example teaching mathematics (fractions, exponentials of musical notes, symmetries of harmony and rhythms), physics (classical acoustic physics, quantum physics), biology (human ear function, psychology), information technology (artificial intelligence). This first meeting will introduce the extension project with some basic concepts in science and how science can inspire music.

 

Topics (UFSCar) 10h-12h:

- From Pythagorean scale to tempered scale
