...of music constructs gendered subjectiveness? How does the construction of gendered subjectiveness effect women who would like to pursue careers as conductors of major orchestras? (Minimum 250 words) Natasha Bedingfield’s Single has expressed her views to the stereotypical society we live in by exhibiting that she does not need a man to complete her. I believe that this video is conclusion because she is taking a feminist approach to being single instead being attached to a man because society wants a women to be completed by a man when men are not always needed to live and survive in the world. From her clothing to the club scene, Natasha shows us that she is independent and can handle herself in situations. Dating back to the initial exclusion of women from the church as singers-“Let women keep silent in the church”, women have been perceived to be “more nurturing and emotional”. Women were “incapable” of higher learning because men thought that the women (female) society is mentally and physically inferior to the male-dominated society. This gives women less rights to be involved in higher musical positions regardless of how qualified women may be for a job; men would get the job over women just because they are women and do not possess the skills that men have to do certain jobs that require an authoritarian role. The representational system of music constructs “gendered subjectiveness” through degradation of the women in society. Women are subjected to pursuing jobs...

It was serendipity.” After graduating from high school in 2012, Egerer, originally pursuing classical music, studied for two years at a community college before deciding to take some time off school. Amanda shares she discerned the religious life for this period of time. “In discerning religious life, I eventually had to let go of my pride and realized I was called to marriage.” During this time off, Amanda also continued to search for what she was called to do artistically. “I discovered folk music through listening to the Avett Brothers. I loved it so much I began to look up female folk musicians and Joan Baez came up. After hearing her songs- which I found to be so beautiful- it was like home, exactly what I had been looking...

Her musical career began in 1974 when she signed with Mercury Records. Reba endured a lot as a younger musician. In 1991, seven of Reba’s band mates died in a plane crash.

You try to outsmart them, you try to outwork them and get there first. You help out, you volunteer, you're at the front of the line.” This quote shows why Reba is a hardworking and strong role model.

...guitar and strapped it around my neck. A spotlight cut through the darkness and focused upon the stage, blinding me momentarily. I heard the drummer begin a four count. Suddenly the club came alive, and resounding music filled the Whisky-A-Go-Go, where twenty-five years earlier, The Doors had begun their musical career. An exhilarating sense of humility and wonder came over me as I thought, "How did I get here?" My career as a bass guitarist in a rock and roll band has had the greatest impact on my life. Playing in a band was important to me because it represented a challenge: transcending the familiar confines of my life and entering completely unknown territory. I wanted to meet people from different backgrounds and go to places that I might never have gone otherwise. The dark, mysterious atmosphere of a Hollywood night club was a far cry from the neat and tidy math and engineering classrooms I had been accustomed to. A year and a half before our appearance at the Whisky-A-Go-Go, bass guitar was about as familiar to me as Swahili. When I started playing, it was hard for me to believe that I would ever play for anyone outside of a garage, much less at a world-famous Hollywood club. I began playing bass at the age of twenty, with only a rudimentary knowledge of music theory. My only experience playing any kind of musical instrument was limited to two years of piano and one year of violin during elementary school. When some of my friends formed their band, they convinced me...

...Construct and Support Argument MGT/521: Management August 08 2010 Pursuing a masters in business administration was one of my many dreams and the best decisions I could every make. I knew that choosing to pursue a masters in business administration would begin many new career opportunities. In July 2006, I had the opportunity to obtain my undergraduate degree from the International Academy of Design and Technology Tampa in Recording Arts (Audio Engineering) at the age of 31. At times, the decision felt a little tough because I work time and run my own recording studio. At my old collage, several of my instructors actually made an impact in my life; they advised me to pursue the MBA after six months to a year of rest, in order to get some of my affairs in order. By pursuing an MBA degree, I can also go back and teach at the Academy, it also helps me to achieve goals in my personal life, such as becoming a better businessperson. Some of my former instructors perceive me to be a complex person with a big vision and a low tolerance for stupidity. I thought long about my decision and the time it would take to finish the MBA program and the time I had to give up to accomplish my goals. I did not want to waste any more time and have my dreams ruined, I determined that it made more sense not to wait six months to a year, I only took three months off to give my brain a rest than I decided to pursue my MBA right away after earning my undergraduate degree at the Academy. My decision...

...Intro to Music Education Philosophy of Music Education My Philosophy of Music Education Music is more than just notes on a page, pitches, and rhythms. Its more than just learning how to play an instrument or learning to sing well. Its an emotional learning experience, where not only are you physically involved, but you are emotionally involved to the point where your soul is touched. Music can express things in a way that words are inadequate of accomplishing. Music is a universal language of beauty. It brings people together, promises hope, peace and joy, and heals even the deepest of wounds. To me, music is something that speaks to me and impacts my life in very powerful ways and I want to pass that passion and love for music along to many, many students someday. I believe that children can learn so much from music. Their capability at a young age to be very passionate about a certain subject is wonderful and therefore must be capitalized on. They bring so much energy and passion that to shy away from giving them the opportunity to learn and develop through music would be a waste of all that energy and potential passion. With children, getting them involved earlier on in their lives can be very effective. There are some who can pick up that same passion and energy later on in their lives, but when started early in music, there is time to develop. They develop in skill and also in their appreciation for the beauty of what music really is. This combination of perspectives...

My love for cartoon animations eventually grew stronger over time, making me not only continue to enjoy watching cartoon animations that others created even more, I began wanting to indulge myself in telling stories and creating a cartoon animations that others could share and relate to. My journey of cartoon making began by starting small, creating comic series. However, as the years went by along with peer pressure among competitors and the lack of confidence in my own art skills, I began to lose confidence in pursuing this field and thus ended up with a different course of direction in education. Throughout my years of my university studies, I was constantly struggling throughout the course, mainly due to incompatible interest in the course itself. In the middle of 2010, I found myself significantly more...
