Joplin wanted his music to be respected since in the earlier years ragtime music wasn’t appreciated by the larger public. However, years after his death, ragtime…

After taking time to reflect on the least restrictive environment (LER), it seems as though there is quite a bit that educators should keep in mind. LER is used to help benefit student by providing an environment that is conducive to student learning without putting unnecessary restrictions. Furthermore, LER also ensures that accommodations are made so that regardless of a student’s disability they are still able to learn to the best of their ability.

Jazz, a genre of music that originated in African American, is one of the most influential music style in the world. It is the production of a blend of influences from different countries and different cultures, giving rise to many distinct styles. As the Jazz musician Ahmad Alaadeen once said, “Jazz does not belong to one race or culture, but is a gift that America has given the world.” Among the early music styles, Ragtime and Blues are two contributors which largely influenced the emergence…

regarded today as one of Armstrong’s finest recordings. This song is a quick-paced jazz melody with the trumpet along with the piano providing what I believe is to be a 4 beat per measure rhythm. “Potato Head Blues” also sounds different from that of Joplin Rags since I counted 2 beats per measure.

Dehumanization is treating someone like they are not human and form opinions on people that aren’t read. People from all around the world have an idea on what they want to do in their life, and in most cases is to become a famous celebrity like an actor, musician, or even an athlete, so…

Empress of The Blues The 1920s were an exciting time to be alive, the economy was flourishing, everyone was throwing extravagant parties and the music industry was booming.
