Top: Shelly Miller and graduate student Tehya Stockman inspect a bell cover on Stockman's clarinet. The SET facility is one of only a handful like it in the world and has advanced capabilities to measure and analyze aerosolized particles. The Powerhouse Energy Campus contains a unique, simulated environmental testing (SET) facility for studying human aerosol emissions and exposures in a clean, versatile environment. The amount of aerosol produced seems to depend on the type of instrument a person plays. ), The University of Tennessee (M.M.) CU Boulder’s CUbit and ColdQuanta together have made the Bose-Einstein lab available on the cloud. Friday, Jan. 15: Classes follow a Wednesday class meeting schedule today (excludes law). The study’s final results are expected in late November/early December. By Jane Palmer. Stockman has fitted a homemade bell cover made from medical mask material to test for the effectiveness of lowering aerosol. Dr. Timothy B. Rhea is director of bands and music activities at Texas A&M University. While these results are preliminary, Miller recommends musicians wear a mask even while playing, using one with a small slit for one’s mouth and the instrument’s mouthpiece, while their nose remains covered. “Engineers help solve problems, and we really want to help solve this problem,” Miller said. She has performed with members of Lower Left Performance Collective in Texas and New Mexico, with Sebastian Prantl in Krems, Austria, Daniel Ashwanden in Vienna, Austria, in work in New York by Stephan Koplowitz and Ellen Cornfield, and in work in North Carolina by Sarah Council, Ashwini Gogate, Ann Dils, Martha Connerton, Jan van Dyke, and BJ Sullivan. The University of Colorado Boulder has also developed a pilot risk assessment tool for aerosol transmission to help decision-makers estimate the infection risk for a number of basic situations such as college classrooms, choirs, and being outdoors. “We think the more air pressure required to play the instrument, the more aerosol likely produced,” says Miller. The Facilities at Colorado State University: The Powerhouse Energy Campus at Colorado State University contains a unique, simulated environmental testing (SET) facility that was constructed to study human aerosol emissions and exposures in a clean, versatile environment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advocates maintaining six feet from others to prevent the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, this is based on expected airborne particles emitted during regular breathing. “They wanted to know whether wind instruments are as dangerous as singing and what we could do to make them safer,” Miller said. The SET is temperature- and humidity-controlled Credit: University of Colorado at Boulder. He is currently vice president and secretary  of The John Philip Sousa Foundation. Dr. Rhea was named conductor of the TAMU Wind Symphony in 1995.

Solutions are needed to reduce the risk of viral spread during performances and group practice settings. Emily has taught modern dance, improvisation, choreography, history, world dance forms, ballet, and dance pedagogy, among others. Unfortunately, many infected individuals do not realize they are infected; and group activities such as choir, dance, acting, or instrument ensembles increase the risk of spread. A new study done by University of Colorado scientists confirms that singing without a mask inside can spread COVID-19 particles easily. The mirror and camera lens capture temperature and density changes in the air, revealing through a video recording what the eye cannot see. Transmission by the aerosol route is likely; it appears unlikely that either fomite or ballistic droplet transmission could explain a substantial fraction of the cases. And what can be done to make practice and performance spaces safer, particularly amid a pandemic? He also served as music department chair at Austin Peay and Georgia Southern.As baritone soloist, Henderson has appeared in concert, opera, and oratorio across the country. In Dec. 2000, Dr. Ray Bowen, former president of Texas A&M University, presented Dr. Rhea with the President’s Meritorious Service Award to Texas A&M University. Singing organizations have responded to aerosol research study. On that September day in the CU lab, Kumar and the clarinetist used a method called the Schlieren technique to visualize how and where air moves as it leaves an instrument. By Jason Plautz Jul. A CU Boulder philosopher and planetary scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science argue that the existing system of mineral classification fails to account for mineral evolution. During his time at Tech, he served as assistant conductor of the University Symphonic Band and graduate assistant director and musical arranger to the Texas Tech University Marching Band, where he worked with Keith Bearden.
