...According to Elizabeth Scott’s “Is Music a Good Tool For Health?,” music affects the body and mind and is a helpful tool for us to improve our health. Furthermore, music therapy is a growing field of health care using music as a therapeutic tool. Many hospitals take on music therapists in order to help with mental and physical illness. The author concludes music is a good tool for health, and I strongly agree with the author when she claims that music influences the body and mind in many ways. Most importantly, I believe that music is a good tool to help the body in staying healthy. The author stated in her article that “Breathing and heart rate may be affected by the changes music can bring.” That is to say, if we listen to the slow rhythm of music, our breathing and heart rate will slow down. This can mean both breathing and heart rate can be adjusted by the alterations of music. For example, we can find that music is used to control breathing and heart rate in order to stay calm like a meditation. Breathing is an important factor for people who practice meditation and meditation music is performed to help them. According to the article, music helps with pain management and eases muscle tension. I have experienced the moment of relaxation response when I went to the dental office. While lying on the examination table, I was very nervous. But I released my nervous tension soon because there was a slow jazz groove. Relaxing the muscles or parts of the...

...For my Genius Hour proposal, my essential question I will try to answer is “How is African music similar to modern music today and how has it influenced the music we play?” This topic is very interesting to me because I play an instrument and I love music. I also though in my mind that I would like to study more about West African music and it’s influence on today’s music. I think that many people love listening to music or creating music, but they don’t know some of its origins and places it came from. For example, many people love Dixieland, jazz, pop, blues, and rock music. If you had asked them if they knew that African music influenced those types of music genres, it would be likely that they didn’t know the music had African roots...

...Mustang Music Case Analysis Date: 12/11/2011 Group 6 Mustang Music is a music store. Its president and chief executive officer (CEO) is Arthur Weber. He “graduated from a well-known performing arts conservatory with a master’s degree in music, double majoring in classical guitar and composition.” He opened the store three years ago. Weber’s emerging vision was not merely to operate a music store and earn a living. Mustang Music’s strategy from the start concentrated more on quality of its services and the richness of its product. Weber “wanted to provide a world-class musical education and high quality instruments to the general population and perhaps in the process, help to identify and develop the next gifted Hendrix,” Santana, Joe Satriani or even Keith Richards. With the perfect combination of store location, effective promotional style and great customer relationship building skills, Weber was successful in achieving his vision that he set for himself and for Mustang Music. The store has three zones: retail showroom, five small-soundproofed classrooms and office area. Its classroom setup was well planned and organized which provided great convenience not only to its customers, but also to the employees. The environment was built on such that it motivated not only the students that participated in its music, but also their parents, thereby, encouraging them to create long term commitment to its institution to deliver excellent tuition in music and to generate...

...Application essay My love for music began when I was around 14 years old, an age when i’m not yet understand every aspects of music like pitch, tone, rhythm, notation, but only the music itself. I was compelled by how music affects our heart and soul, how it can expess feelings words normally can’t. But mostly I’m interested in how to create such music that can moved people just by listening to. My passion in music grows ever stronger. But as much as I love it, pursuing music is not something that can be easily done. It’s a long and rocky road from listening to others’s music to producing our own. So many people have failed before. However, after doing much research about colleges that have a music composition program. I believe that the Contemporary Writing and Production Program in Berklee College of Music is the ideal starting place for me to chase after my music career. Music played a major part in my youth. My father used to play his piano smoothly every night before bed, and I would sit next to him, listening quietly. Every time I listened to his music, i always have such beautiful dreams at night. It really fascinating me how simple melody can deal major impact to our mind. Inspired by my father, i led a small music band later on in high school. We practiced day after day, learned many new techniques from each other. Our small performances at the tea houses, sidewalk, local park, even school concert, give us a lot of fun time and invaluable experiences. We once won...

...Pawitra C. A Critical Review of “Developing Critical Thinking and Assessment in music classrooms” As many American students have a difficulty to reach a goal of testing standard makes music teachers are required to add the reading and writing skills in their classrooms. Maria Stefanova has provided some options to solve this problem in the article called “Developing Critical Thinking and Assessment in music classrooms”. It was published in May, 2011 by American String Teacher. In the article, she presents five classroom strategies to fill the gap between music and literacy classes. The first strategy is a prior step of the class which requires teachers to survey the students about their interest and background, while the second one could be done at the end of the class as an “exit ticket”. The next two are tactics which conceal the knowledge behind the performances and inviting a musician as a guest to classroom. The last one is to ask students to record their homework constantly. The author says that “[these strategies are] not only strengthening music instruction, but also to develop active thinking and assessment tools in the music classroom” (Stefanova, 2001). Most of the strategies are agreeable, however, I have a different point of view in some issues. Maria (2011) says that it is important for teachers to know more about their students’ interest and background to help them improve their skills, especially for new students. It is better to use written form of survey...

...trying to sell isn’t really you, because if you don’t believe it how can your fans believe it. The truth always comes out. Instead of focusing on accomplishments, focus more so on one’s characteristics and traits. One of the most important aspects to remember when developing an artist is one’s online presence. Make sure you’re taking full advantage of all of the various social media networks, securing your name, and making your page look like you’re spending time on it. Interacting with fans will be an effective way of turning listeners into avid fans as you attempt to build your fan base. Put yourself into the shoes of listeners ask yourself where they will find music online, and then make sure your music is there and prevalent on the site. Most importantly ask yourself what the point of your music is. The music needs to speak to the listener. Otherwise everyone is wasting their time.

...Inmates have a variety of ways they deal with stress. Music, recreational activities, exercising and socializing. Life is full of expectations, commitments, deadlines, frustrations and demands. People are faced with stress every day that it has become a way of life. Stress is a response to evens that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some ways. According to Gilabert (2007:10) stress is defined as an emotional reaction occurring in the presence of certain stimuli that usually trigger the body’s coping mechanisms to face the new circumstance. Stress is caused by different factors, situations and pressure that are face by an individual. The situations and pressure that causes stress are known as stressors. Stress is not a sickness but it can have serious effects to the body. What causes stress depends, at least in part, on your perception of it (smith, et.al.2012:3). That is, if you are faced with a situation and you think of it negatively, then it will have negative effects, thus, if you look at it positively, then it will turn out to have positive effects. There are many life changes that causes stress some are positive and some are negative, however both causes stress. Negative major life changes are events such as death of a spouse, divorce, marriage pregnancy and so on. People who are faced with such problems have more pressure and worries that mostly stay with them for a very long time. The difference in stressors inside versus outside is more in the quality...
