“You never get a second chance to make a good first impression” (Forbes, 2014), a quote often attributed to Will Rogers, is a clever summary of the importance of making a good first impression. Most of the time we forget the power of making a good first impression and the role it plays in our daily lives. The impression we get the first time we meet a new coworker or acquaintance immediately influences how we treat them. “Just three seconds are sufficient to make a conclusion about fresh acquaintances”
Amidst the hot debate about whether or not music should be free, are ethical and moral considerations as well. The emergence of digital entertainment, whether MP3, peer-to-peer (P2P) applications, video streaming, or audio books, has caused an inevitable shift in the entertainment market (Weiss, 2006). Napster rapidly became a success when it started allowing its customers to download MP3 music free of charge. In fact, Napster’s form of file-sharing shifted the entertainment market from a commodity
Music is an important aspect of every society. Music can tell stories, release emotions, build bridges and break down barriers, but above all music is entertaining. There are various forms of music but not many have as rich a history as gospel music. The importance of gospel music has been relevant in American music for more than a century and its importance to society is still relevant to this day (See Appendix A). Gospel music helped slaves escape to freedom and paved the way for other styles
Indie Music: Be Authentic Not A Sellout “The word ‘indie’ is meaningless now. It’s so overused that people think it simply means green hair.” Steven Patrick Morrissey, who was originally a part of The Smiths as a vocalist, said that. Today, we do hear indie thrown around and it can be hard to define; but indie has an interesting history surrounding its emergence and what it means to its participants has a lot to do with authenticity. Indie music emerged during times of social and political changes
Although music educators often experience challenges in the inclusion setting, most agree that music is beneficial to all students, including students with disabilities (SWD). This literature review includes areas of concerns and challenges that music educators often experience in the inclusive setting as a result of (a) lack of training in special education, (b) lack of planning time, (c) scheduling issues and (c) lack of experience using music therapy (MT) practices in the inclusive music setting
listening to my favorite high-energy-time-to-wake-up music. The weather channel says it is going to be a rainy morning, so I grab my umbrella and head for the door. During the car ride I toggle between the news and my French audio lessons. All of these events are done through the use of a little device that seems to be everywhere you look. For the past years we have seen how APPLE Computers Inc. has not only introduced the Ipod into the market for music players, but created the new must have pop icon

Introduction “Copyright is a fundamental right of ownership and protection common to all of the arts” (O’Hara & Beard, 2006, p. 8). “It is a form of intellectual Property (IP)” and it gives the owner exclusive rights to the copyright (O’Hara & Beard, 2006, p. 11). A copyright owner does not need to register an original work in Australia; the Copyright Act 1968 will automatically protect it, if it is expressed in material form. However, copyright does not exist in the idea itself (An introduction
about every woman? In this article, we are presented to the roots of rap music and how misogyny is deeply rooted in the rap industry. We also see the way misogyny is linked to capitalist patriarchal system. The misogyny which is presented to the audience not only attacks women, but more specifically, it attacks women of African American origin. Several factors encourage artists to to use misogynistic imagery in their music, namely the dominant culture to which they have been exposed, the male ego
Everything About the Music Hot Topic was founded in 1989 in Westminster, California as a store specializing in accessories. In 1990, they added rock tees which at the time could only be found in catalogs, small record shops and at concerts (Hot Topic, 2006). By 1994, their assortment of merchandise was 50% apparel and 50% accessories.

may not seem like a grand accomplishment, but for Josh, it is. Josh has down syndrome. He attends weekly music therapy sessions and his parents are seeing great progress. Mother said, “Within a week, he learned how to spell ‘Clark’. Without music therapy, it would have taken several weeks or several months. So how does music help Josh to learn at a faster rate than without music? Josh’s music therapist knew that Josh was accustomed with the song “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” so she used that to

conducted by other researchers in many parts of the world and has led to the conclusion that music is an extremely healthy activity to be involved in. A study conducted on school children in America concluded that children who took voice or piano lessons had higher IQ’s at the end of the year than those who did not (Munsey, 2006). Dye (2012) reinforces this, stating that scientific research shows that studying music improves school performance. Gaser and Schlaug (2003) showed that musicians learn advanced
Problem Statement Self-efficacy is an individual’s believed capabilities for performing a given task (Urdan & Pajares, 2006). Self-efficacy comes from Alfred Bandura’s social cognitive theory which indicates that a person’s self-efficacy can affect their behaviors and interactions with their environments (Urdan & Pajares, 2006). For a musician, their self-efficacy beliefs would include how they feel before a performance on how they will achieve. Musicians have beliefs before they are about to
Abstract and background: The Musikverein in Vienna is often cited as the world’s best concert hall, in terms of not only aesthetic appreciation but also architectural acoustics. In this case study, we try to discuss how scientific design betters music and how it may be bettered from three approaches: shape, seating and material. This report presents the findings of our group, as well as additional ones of my own. Part 1: “Shape” shapes the acoustics landscape Musikverein has the general shape similar
investment in music derives from its ability to convey emotions(Gebauer, Kringelbach and Vuust 2012.) Studies have implied that music can elicit basic emotions such as happiness (Gebauer, Kringelbach and Vuust 2012.) Music with a fast tempo and major mode are considered and reacted to as happy music, while music with slow tempo and minor mode are deemed sad(Gebauer, Kringelbach and Vuust 2012.) This effect was shown through fMRI imaging while listening to different genres of music and participant
Hip-Hop music has grown significantly since its beginnings in the South Bronx in the late 1970s. The music and its influences have travelled all around the world, even to a small town in Scotland called Paisley. There, 19 year old grime artist Shogun just released his first single “Vulcan”. In this track, Shogun shares his life and desires through a fast-paced delivery of lyrics. “Vulcan” although being a grime track by a Scottish artist, shares many of the characteristics of American rap songs which
Punk Music History of American Popular Music; Period 5 The poet Victor Hugo once stated that “music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot be silent.” This quote seems to represent punk music in a way that isn’t immediately apparent. Punk is considered to be an “underground” genre and style that is popular with teens and young adults that feel oppressed.
