...The History of the Blues * In my Assignment I will be mostly taking about the ways that the blues has influenced culture. So what did the blues influence…? Everything. The blues influenced nearly every genre of music that came after it. Jazz in all of its various styles and flavors. From just a basic 12bars you get everything that you need in order to play great music. It’s not like without the blues we would not have any current music actually it’s a lot like that. The influence of blues can even be seen in the classical music of the later Romantic period as well as in various aspects of Contemporary classical music. Literally every style of music that’s come out in the past eighty or more years has once or a few times borrowed something from the blues. To think the whole world would of changed if there was not the blues, or slavery for that matter. To think we would not even have big band music or loud electric guitars, or a guy going yo yo into a microphone. * When you think of the blues, you think about misfortune, betrayal and regret. You lose your job, you get the blues. Your mate falls out of love with you, you get the blues. Your dog dies, you get the blues. * While blues lyrics often deal with personal adversity, the music itself goes far beyond self-pity. The blues is also about overcoming hard luck, saying what you feel, ridding yourself of frustration, letting your hair down, and simply having fun. The best blues is visceral, cathartic, and starkly...

...Minh Vuong MUSIC 104-01 Concert review #1 Kletz Coffeehouse Band Performance On September 19th this year, I experienced the best student band concert I have ever seen. That day, some of my friends asked me if I want to go with them to Kletz at 9 for a little coffee and some music. It was a Thursday night and I still have tons of unfinished homework, but for some reason I still decided to go with them. There were a lot of people there, and all of them were doing homework. After 5 minutes, I’ve already wanted to go back to my room. However after that, a guy introduced the band that is going to play for tonight and I decided to stay for just one song. For some odd reason I don’t remember the band’s name, maybe because what memorable is about their music and not their name. So from now I will call them “Good music but forgettable name” or “GMBFN” for short. Just like a normal student band, they weren’t dressed up or used any props. They just wore their normal, casual clothes that they might wear in class that morning. The first song they were playing is pretty slow and the genre was alternative rock. At first I tried to listen to the words to find out if I knew that song, and then I realized it was an original song, their original song. It was pretty neat for a band to play its own song although that first song was a little bit uncreative and plain. So I stayed for the second song to give GMBFN a second chance, this time it was another original song. It was a lot better than...

...Mrs. Cobb’s Class Newsletter September 2013 [pic] As part of the Responsive Classroom approach to classroom management, teachers at Mt. Pleasant employ a technique we call ‘Take a Break.’ When teachers ask students to ‘Take a Break’, students are not in trouble. The action is meant to be non-punitive It’s true purpose is to redirect a student who is making a mistake, about to make a mistake, or who is heading down the wrong path. We are guiding students to stop and think about what is going on and helping students make better choices or calm down while taking a break. Often, students are sent to the “Think Chair” simply to gather themselves. The goal is to get a student ready to learn and to keep instruction as seamless as possible. Eventually, we would like to get students to notice when they, themselves, need to take a break. Please be patient with teachers and your child as we put this strategy in place in our classrooms. Do not be alarmed if your child tells you they had to ‘take a break’ or even several breaks these first weeks of school. It’s a natural part of the back-to-school learning curve. It might feel odd at first, but will eventually be a normal part of our classroom. We have used it for many years with much success and I expect this year to follow suit. Since this is so common in our room, I will not be notifying parents of every break taken, but will contact parents if a trend develops or if taking a break is not working. 3rd...

Werner Recital Hall listened the concert performed by Musician Steve Allee and professor of percussion Rusty Burge. The music they played is relate to Jazz, although I don’t know much about the music, I can feel the player they love music and devote their lives in it. For what I can do I think just enjoy and appreciate them bring their music to us. Also, I was impressed by these two instruments piano and vibraphone they are wonderfully connected to each other, and there is one moment I think piano and vibraphone they are designed for each other. It reminds me my teenage year in middle school, I play trumpet in school orchestra so I can understood them how much they like what they performed it becomes their friend already. But one thing I am curious about is that I was first time saw the vibraphone and I don’t know it can make the sound so special, it feels like I am in another world with that sound only. Such powerful and pure. At the same time, I realized that if I want to learn well on these two instrument how difficult it is, I have to memorize every beat and practice as many times as I can in order to prevent making mistakes. Especially, vibraphone every sing mistake will ruin the whole song due to its specialty. I like the part they played “Waltz for Tomorrow”, the tune of the song is my...

Scientific research in the country is supported by industry, by the network of German universities and by scientific state institutions such as the Max Planck Society and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

...1 Teenagers’ Reasons for Listening to Music and the Students’ Perception of the Effects of Listening When Completing School Assignments1 Jennifer Adriano Educational Leadership Doctoral Program Thomas DiPaola Educational Leadership Doctoral Program Center for Research and Evaluation The Alan Shawn Feinstein Graduate School Johnson & Wales University 1 Paper presented at the 42nd annual meeting of the New England Educational Research Organization, April, 2010, Portsmouth, NH. 2 Introduction Music is a significant part of our lives. People listen to music on the radio at home and in their car; they watch music videos on television or hand held technology; they buy CDs or download music; and they attend concerts. People also hear music in stores, restaurants, sporting events, and doctors’ offices (Schellenberg, Peretz, & Vieillard, 2008). Music is very important to many adolescents and they spend a considerable amount of their time listening to music. One study with N = 2,465 adolescents ages 13 and 14 found that participants listened to music for an average of 2.45 hours per day (North, Hargreaves, & O’Neill, 2000). Music has become a personal accompaniment in many teenagers’ lives because of the availability and popularity of personal music listening devices. In 2009, Jaffray released the results from the 18th semi-annual survey, “taking stock with teens.” The team of researchers surveyed approximately N = 1,200 students, with an average age of 16.3, in...

...integration and development. Major types of film are home video, which develop, until now, from what is formerly known as cinema or stage play/drama. As part of mass media, home videos play the important roles of informing, educating, entertaining and transmitting social heritage. Through their educational role, however, home videos concern themselves with evolving a better society by exposing societal ill and wrongs. Since the emergence of home videos, at the turn of the twenty-first century the films industries, and both male and female actors in Nigeria, Nollywood, have considerably influenced the habits, belief systems, style of dressing and other behavioural idiosyncrasies on many Nigerian youths. Thus, one can say, however, that the emergence of home videos have helped to promote the Nigerian cultural heritage; aside this, it has awaken in many youths the Nigerian culture that was once lost during the colonial period. There are also negative effects of home videos on audiences. However, there have been cases where home videos are criticized to the cause for some societal ills. Social critics, who believes in this school of thought says that some antisocial behaviours like violence and extravagant life that many films portrays in their content perceptibly affect the behavior of the audience. Nonetheless, all these sum up to mean that home videos have both positive and negative influences on youth morality, that is home videos positively or negatively affect the generally...
