An introduction to the physics of the clarinet for musicians and other non-science majors
Wilfried Kausel · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2012
Teaching physics or more generally science related matters to non-science majors requires illustrative comparisons, fascinating application examples, live experiments, multi-medial presentation and simplified representations which can be understood without much background knowledge but which still remain relevant for the taught subject. But first of all, such lectures do require a very dedicated and alert lecturer who is able to captivate his audience by his outstanding presence. Following (some of) these principles a short generally understandable lecture on the acoustics of the clarinet will be given."
