KING TUBBY’S REIGN "Dub mean raw riddim. Dub jus’ mean raw music, nuttin water-down. Version is like your creativeness off the riddim, without voice." Osbourne Ruddock, known professionally and affectionately as ‘King Tubby’, the ‘Dub Master’ of all dub masters, is truly the Daddy of Dub, in every sense of the word. Not only was he one of the most innovative musical engineers of his time, but an artist, a pioneer, and a teacher to the procession of dub masters that would follow in his shadow
Cultures are a system of knowledge shared by a relatively large group of people. It includes a system of shared beliefs, values, symbols, and behaviors. No two cultures are the same. We are living in a mixed culture setting where a wide variety of nationalities exist together. I interview my friend from class, Cynthia Wilder, who is Jamaican and compared myself to her since I am an Indian. Although Indian and Jamaican cultures are not the same, they share many things in common. Both cultures have
The Holocaust was a tragic and discriminatory event. It was a time when most of the Jewish population of France, the Netherlands, and Greece, as well as hundreds of thousands of the citizens of Poland were killed. The gas chambers took the lives of 437,000 people of the Jewish faith in a matter of weeks. At least 6 million people that practiced the Jewish faith were killed during this horrible time. The reason many Nazis targeted children was because they thought that the survival of the children

Smith and Stirling Since the 18th century, music making for women was simply a social skill. However, in the Romantic Period, music making was considered more than just an ornament. For women of this period, it was often very difficult for them to have their music published especially if they were not born into a musical family like Schumann or Mendelssohn. Even if they were born into a musical family it was still difficult for women to become composers. This is due to the fact that, it was not

over again?" Psychologists claim that it's because music, whenever repeated works wonders in the brain. Actually, repeating is the crucial to this participatory component of music. There is also one more aspect to it-- the sound or part of lyrics which did not really seemed instantly as relevant, come to sound totally shaped as well as purposeful after repetition. Our brains reveal even more activity in their emotional regions when the music we are enjoying is familiar, despite whether or not we
Music is more than just an idea, it is a way of life. It is something that can create emotions in oneself that they did not know they even had. Music speaks about one’s life, their hardships and happiness, their sorrow and joy. Many types of music have done this for thousands of years, but I think that the genre that best describes life is reggae, with its soulful lyrics and laid-back island vibe it was a type of music that spoke right to your heart, and with reggae comes one name, Bob Marley.

Music in Tibet Music is a part of everyday life for almost everyone in the world. Music provides us with enjoyment and relaxation, and can be used in many ways by many different people.

first developed to provide a strong philosophical foundation for music education and continues to evolve as a solid theoretical orientation for current effective practices. Bennett Reimer has contributed much to the discussion and development of the value of aesthetic education for the teaching and learning of music.

opera. The mere fact opera has a narrative, although told through music and libretto, combines the two. Michael Tippett’s opera, The Midsummer Marriage, contains influences from other established form’s (drawing examples for Wagner and Verdi) as well as containing Tippett’s own futuristic ideas. Tippett writes about the heightened style of opera and also later argues that although this is a marvellous event, the categories of music and drama must be coherent and specific to the desired product
donate time to help today's youth to learn about what music really, with the help of MTV’s network Vh1 they support a program called save the music. It is a program which is designed to save music programs in school because budgets cut music programs out of the overall picture when it comes to spending.

How Music Works The way in which music affects the human organism is complex. Attempts to explain the relationship between the organized sound which we call music and our responses to it fall into two broad classes, heteronomist theories and autonomist theories, although the boundaries between the two may be by no means watertight. That music causes a response in humans is undeniable, but does it do so by some form of direct appeal to our inner selves, our emotional sides, as the proponents

The band would never be the same without me! I admit it: I'm a band nerd, a music nut, and a clarinet geek. You can describe me with whatever phrase you want. Regardless of how you look at it, I'll always be a band geek, and I'm proud of it! Not only am I in the band, but I am an essential component to the success and
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. The Musician(that lives in my mind): Ummmm...excuse me? The Scholar: You heard what I said. Everyone gets sick of a song after awhile. It's because there are no life issues in music. You hear it and it's over, and
“You can’t touch music—it exists only at the moment it is being apprehended—and yet it can profoundly alter how we view the world and our place in it” (“Preface” 7).1 Music is a form of art enjoyed by millions of people each day. It is an art that has continued through decades and can be seen in many different ways. That is why Ellison chooses to illustrate his novel with jazz. Jazz music in Invisible Man gives feelings that Ellison could never explain in words. In Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man,

One will choose to play multiple instruments mainly because that skill will usually make the person more marketable and/or popular (BLS). A musician can also choose to play alone, in a small group, such as a band, or in an orchestra band (BLS). Many times, one will either choose to perform popular music, which draws in more attention than that of the second choice, a classical musician, which usually
