~ Would you like to harness your computer to conduct corpus-wide musical analyses?
~ Are you interested in digital music editing and publishing?
Full-tuition awards available!
The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is celebrating its 20th year and is offering a course entitled “Music Encoding Fundamentals and their Applications” in June 2020. This exciting course offers an introduction to the theory and practice of encoding electronic musical scores, analyzing those scores, and aligning them with other media such as audio and video. It is designed for students, early career researchers and senior academics who are interested in a music-encoding project, or for those who would like to better understand the philosophy, theory, and practicalities of encoding notated music. Moreover, it will consider ways of incorporating sound and text files with encoded music notation. Participants should have a basic knowledge of how to read music, but no prior experience with coding is assumed.
The course will run on June 8-12, 2020, on the beautiful campus of the University of Victoria.

2. AMS Professional Development Travel Grants
The AMS offers Professional Development Travel Grants to AMS members who have little or no financial support for travel to participate in the Annual Meeting of the Society. The purpose of this grant is to aid non-affiliated scholars and those with institutional appointments but little or no financial support for conference travel.
Grants of up to $500 (overseas applicants) and $350 (U.S./Canada applicants) (subject to funding availability) are available to those who are presenting papers or performances, chairing sessions, or serving on an AMS Committee. Graduate students presenting papers at the Annual Meeting of the Society are also eligible for Professional Development Travel Grants, if the home institution is unable to provide sufficient support.
The AMS Board of Directors has made additional Professional Travel Grants available, funded through the the Keitel/Palisca Endowment.
These are intended to assist AMS members to attend the Annual Meeting. This initiative is open to all Student and Low Income members of the AMS.
As a general rule, scholars will not be funded two years in a row.
The 2019 application deadline was 1 July 2019. Award notifications will be made in about one month.
