Staci has studied violin with me at Bucknell University for three semesters. Concurrently she performed in the Bucknell University Orchestra, an ensemble I conduct. I believe that I know her well and can write with authority regarding her personality and potential for success in her graduate studies.
I strongly support Staci application to the University of North Carolina Greensboro for both the master’s degree in Women’s and Gender Studies and the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Musicology, and believe that she would be an asset to your programs. From her first lesson with me, Staci stood out from other undergraduate students because of her passionate commitment to learning all she could about teaching music and the playing violin.
I chose to do my composer report on Florence Price. Florence Price was born April 9, 1887 in Little Rock, Arkansas to Florence Gulliver and James H. Smith. She had two siblings. Florence gave her first recital at four years old. She attended the same elementary school as William Grant Still where they both studied under educator Charlotte Andrews Stephens. Florence Price is considered the first black woman in the United States to be recognized as a symphonic composer. Her training was steeped in European tradition, but still Price’s music consists of mostly the American idiom and reveals her Southern roots. Her mother, who was a soprano and pianist, carefully guided her early musical training. At the age of fourteen, Price enrolled in the New England Conservatory of Music with a major in piano and organ. She studied composition and counterpoint with George Chadwick and Frederick Converse. She wrote her first-string trio and symphony in college, and graduated in 1907 with honors and both an artist diploma in organ and a teaching certificate.
Since her story was the most inspirational I would probably choose to meet with her, if given the opportunity. I would love to ask her questions that had to do with mindsets such as how she coped when she was diagnosed. How her and her husband get through the difficult times, and how he copes with things. I would even ask her what her biggest fear is, since in the essay she mentions how death is not one for her. The questions I would really like an answer for is how she deals with her depression, when she gets depressed. I would ask these things because I have a lot of trouble coping with things. I have been diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. I have no heath disability except for mentally. It would be inspirational to know how she deals with her depression, because if she can do it, then I know I could

In the early 2000’s, America’s famous and favorite home cooker made headlines, and not in a positive way. Headlines that would forever change that way people thought about her. Martha Stewart was convicted for misleading federal investigators who were looking into allegations of insider trading which raised several ethical issues. Is being to rich a reason to convict Martha of this crime? If everyone does it, why hold Martha to a higher standard? In this case, insider trading was clearly evident in Martha Stewarts Case.
Trying really hard to not disappoint her parents by quitting the violin. Overworked and stressed from her upcoming audition.
This letter is to recommend, Ms. Marissa Korte, for your Rhodes, Marshall, and/or Mitchell Scholarships
For the purposes of this assignment, I had the privilege of interviewing an incredibly talented person by the name of Cynthia Jeanette Hyatt, who graciously granted me a last-minute interview after an incident with a previous interviewee rendered that interview borderline unusable.This is not to suggest that choosing her for an interview was merely a matter of convenience. While that did indeed play a role in her initial consideration, the opportunity to interview her was truly appreciated and ultimately enjoyable. Due to busy and conflicting schedules, the interview was conducted in the common area of the high school at which the interviewee works and the interviewer attends. There were a couple gaps throughout the interview, during which the conversation was turned to another person or became tangential, but overall the interview was fairly cohesive.
1. Earlier this semester I went to have a look around the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Unlike my many previous trips to the museum, the trip I took on September 7th was very different, my friend Griffin and I were on a serious mission. From our favorites we sought out the perfect piece of art to write an essay about. Upon entering the Hall of European Art, I gazed up at one of my favorite paintings in the museum’s permanent collection; A Portrait of Sarah Siddons. During my time in high school, I went to the museum on several occasions, one of which was for an event hosted to help AP art students find the right college. Although I had no intention of attending a university for the pursuit of artistic studies, my visual arts teacher urged me
I believe that Virginia state university will exceed my expectations for a University. If I were to attend VSU, I would like to major in music education, as I do have a really big passion for playing my instrument. For the past few months, I have really been considering what I really want to do with my life and being a music major seems to be the only thing truly that makes sense. The reason I’m considering Virginia State for music is because my band director; in which I strive to be like,
Caitlin Hamoui isn’t very passionate about journalism, she didn’t even sign up for this class. Caitlin was expecting to see more photography involved since, she loves to take pictures. She considers herself to be a self-starter because she motivates and leads herself to do things - she doesn’t wait for others. Working pressure isn’t problem for Caitlin but, the pressure does get her annoyed. She defines a team player as someone who works in a team. That short definition alone should tell you that Caitlin is more of an independent person a, do it on your own, kind of girl. She has many strengths academically which include, Science and Language arts. Caitlin’s strengths, which also include her favorite subjects, become very clear when you hear
Brandeis University is my fourth school of choice. The opportunity to study at Brandeis is compelling as they provide a unique musical program that is a good fit for my musical interest and career goals. Their Bachelor of Arts degree in music creates a broad based program combining the study of history, theory and performance, which allows me to strengthen my knowledge in a structured lab component to enhance my musical skills.
I have long been committed to diversity, and recognize the barriers faced by women and other minorities in engaging in everyday life and graduate studies. I born in country of challenges: the challenge to born as a second female while your families wait for a male to complete their happiness; challenge to be born in patriarchal society when gender remained a barrier to power for women; as gendered stereotypes undermined and devalued women’s leadership abilities; the challenge to be born in country that codifies the law of equality and justice, but still value man more than woman; the challenge of learning when I dreamt of being a lawyer; however, my family rejected the idea of studying somewhere far away from them. I just studied any major offered at the nearest university. Despite all these challenges, I am proud to have preserved and strived to be the best, and to have my grandfather Ezzeddin, who taught me how to be a man in a society where a woman is considered as minor and needed a man to protect and take care of her.
Please excuse this late communication, as I am now retired from Wiley College and appreciate solitude. Therefore, I can best be reached via email. Nonetheless, when I served as Dean of Social Sciences and Humanities, I became intrigued with Ms. Sanders’s advanced scholarship and recommended her for hire as an English Instructor, fall 2010. While observing her in the course of that semester, I immediately noticed that she exuded the following characteristics: audaciousness, grit, and tenacity. I am not an individual that is easily impressed, but I was. Ms. Sanders’s purpose is clear; her major strengths lie in her ability to explain complex theories and ideas to students, incorporate her skills in the dramatic arts into her lesson plans, and
The Scholar (that lives in my mind): What is that woman saying!? Drop my AP classes so that I'll have more time for piano? Does she realize that piano isn't life? Or at least not my life? I've taken ten years of music, I think that's enough. I'd rather be spending my time becoming a more prolific writer. That's were my passion lies, not in music. Music is just romanticized math. It doesn't say anything deeper than its title. Not anything specific, at least.
