...I recently attended a concert entitled Masterpieces of the Guitar. The concert was performed by a solo artist named Robert Wetzel. The concert was presented by The Grossmont Guitar Guild, it was held at the Cuyamaca College of Performing Arts on October 29, 2012. This report will detail my experience and give an accurate, unbiased review of “Masterpieces of the Guitar.” Before the performance began I had the opportunity to sample the program and read through it thoroughly. The most important thing I learned from the program was information about the artist performing. I also learned about some of the music being performed. Pertaining to the artist performing his solo act, Robert Wetzel, he has a rich history in music. According to the program he began studying guitar at the young age of fifteen. He studied under master guitarist’s Angel Romero, Pepe Romero and Celedonio Romero. If you couldn’t already tell, all three of his masters were related and he considers himself part of this lineage. Today, he is a resident of San Diego, California. In addition to his performances with the guitar he also teaches music at San Diego State University, Grossmont College, Southwestern College and the University of California. I also learned, from the program about the songs I was about to hear performed by Wetzel. The artists listed include: Milan, Narvaez, Frescobaldi, Scarlatti,, Bach, Schumann, Debussy, Satie, Ravel, Moreno-Torroba, Tansman and Presti. I think this was important because...

...The Effect of Classical Music on the Reading Comprehension of Iranian Students Nasser Rashidi Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran Email: Nrashidi@rose.shirazu.ac.ir Farman Faham Shiraz University, Iran Abstract—The influence of music on language learning and performance has been the subject of study for many years. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of classical music (Mozart Sonata) on the reading comprehension performance of two groups of Iranian students in an English institute in Iran. To this end, the study compared two groups of Iranian English students (N=60) over a period of three months: one was taught reading comprehension with a music background and the other with no music background whatsoever. The results of the study showed a significant difference between the performance of the group exposed to music and the performance of the other group not exposed to music. The group taught reading comprehension with a music background outperformed the other taught it with no music background. Index Terms—reading comprehension, music, background music, classical music, Mozart sonata I. INTRODUCTION The use of music as a tool by language teachers to teach foreign languages has been the center of attention to researchers for many years. That is why in the literature we can see different, but mostly positive comments concerning the effectiveness of music in language learning and performance. It has been stated that music can contribute to...

...Unit 17 – Events, conferences & exhibitions Update on events, conferences and exhibitions – P1, P2, P3, M1 & D1 P1 - Describe the event, conference and exhibitions environment in the UK Types of event Corporate hospitality Corporate hospitality is a private event held by corporations and businesses to entertain and build good relationships with their staff and clients and to encourage new businesses. For example a company hires a venue such as the Hinitze Hall in the Natural History Museum which offers galleries for a range of evening events with catering facilities and staff which will be used only by the business team. Team-building events Team building events are events in which members of a business bond together and get them to work effectively as a team instead of as individuals. Team building events are held to enhance the social relations and define roles within teams often involving collaborative tasks. For example Sandstone is a team-building events company. Incentives Incentive events are held by corporations to reward their employees or customers for hard work and loyalty or to motivate them to improve and develop their performance. An example of an incentive event is the Incentives and Promotional Marketing Show Live which is held at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham by Waypoint Exhibition and Event Group. Fundraising Fundraising are events in which organisations fundraise money which then they donate to a certain charity...

...Impact of Music, Music Lyrics, and Music Videos on Children and Youth Abstract Music plays an important role in the socialization of children and adolescents. Popular music is present almost everywhere, and it is easily available through the radio, various recordings, the Internet, and new technologies , allowing adolescents to hear it in diverse settings and situations, alone or shared with friends. Parents often are unaware of the lyrics to which their children are listening because of the increasing use of downloaded music and headphones. Research on popular music has explored its effects on schoolwork, social interactions, mood and affect, and particularly behavior. The effect that popular music has on children's and adolescents' behavior and emotions is of paramount concern. Lyrics have become more explicit in their references to drugs, sex, and violence over the years, particularly in certain genres. A teenager's preference for certain types of music could be correlated or associated with certain behaviors. As with popular music, the perception and the effect of music-video messages are important, because research has reported that exposure to violence, sexual messages, sexual stereotypes, and use of substances of abuse in music videos might produce significant changes in behaviors and attitudes of young viewers. Pediatricians and parents should be aware of this information. Furthermore, with the evidence portrayed in these...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Rock Music in the Philippines is performance arts composed in various genre and styles. The rock music of the Philippines is a mixture of indigenous foreign countries. The United States occupied the Islands in 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues folk music, Rock &Blues, and rock and roll became popular. In the late 1950s, native performers adapted Tagalog lyrics for North American rock and roll music, resulting in the seminal origins of Philippine rock. The most notable achievement in Philippine rock of the 1960s was the hit song "Killer Joe," which propelled the group "Rocky Fellers" which reached number sixteen on the American radio charts. Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early 1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing tagalog, and English lyrics. Background of the Study Joseph William Feliciano Smith born on December 25, 1947 is a Filipino singer-songwriter, drummer, and guitarist.

...CHAPTER 6 Specification: Choosing the Independent Variables 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8 Omitted Variables Irrelevant Variables An Illustration of the Misuse of Specification Criteria Specification Searches Lagged Independent Variables An Example of Choosing Independent Variables Summary and Exercises Appendix: Additional Specification Criteria Before any equation can be estimated, it must be completely specified. Specifying an econometric equation consists of three parts: choosing the correct independent variables, the correct functional form, and the correct form of the stochastic error term. A specification error results when any one of these choices is made incorrectly. This chapter is concerned with only the first of these, choosing the variables; the second and third will be taken up in later chapters. That researchers can decide which independent variables to include in regression equations is a source of both strength and weakness in econometrics. The strength is that the equations can be formulated to fit individual needs, but the weakness is that researchers can estimate many different specifications until they find the one that “proves” their point, even if many other results disprove it. A major goal of this chapter is to help you understand how to choose variables for your regressions without falling prey to the various errors that result from misusing the ability to choose. The primary consideration in deciding if an independent variable belongs in an...
