The religious background was examined as well as their common interests. Despite the relationship being no more profound than their religious beliefs it has demonstrated to be a solid, healthy relationship. The participants were my parents, Martin and Chamine McDowell. The methods I used were…

different activities in the early years’ curriculum. Penny Tassoni (2007) The features that make up the theory include, making up playing rules, having first-hand experience, playing together, pretending, having personal agenda, making props and deep involvement, among others. She believes that children learn a variety of experience which she calls the ‘web of learning’. I agree with Tina Bruce’s theory as I like her way of thinking about how the children learn and she uses the holistic…

civilization were the scientific theories and explanations that famous philosophers and scientists created. However, during this time period, scientists and philosophers did go through the modern scientific method when creating a theory. The scientists of that time came up with conclusions founded on false ideas and assumptions based on religious variables, thus, creating an array of erroneous conclusions. (Scientific Revolution). Although many of the original theories during this time period…

in taste, great art could be ugly in both its subject matter and its depiction. Western history, reality itself, created by God was conceived of as beautiful. The definitive voice in the identification of beauty with an ultimate reality was Plato theory. Beauty, in which is the exhibit itself in all and only beautiful things. Beauty itself is not just the truth of beautiful things according to Plato. Many theorists have insisted that art is not about accurate representation, but instead is…

into play when dealing with the topic of Strain Theories. The first topic that will be covered in regards to the actual theory itself is the historical foundation of the theory, which is the groundwork for how the theory came into existence in the criminal justice society. An additional factor when dealing with the Strain Theory is the concepts and propositions of the theory. This will explain the foundation of the theory itself. The future of the theory will also be covered; this will explain…

The Origin of the Mariachi Music from very remote times has been part of people's lives. Simple sounds that could create a rhythm can be considered music. For instance, in the region of Mexico, music existed before the colonization of the Spanish people. Throughout the years, different rhythms and instruments were created and adapted. Consequently, little by little distinct genres and groups of music were form and known. One of these is Mariachi, a genre of music that is very particular in…

Charles R. Ciorba and Brian E. Russell are Professors of Music at University of Oklahoma and University of Miami, respectively. Ciorba and Russell discuss the acquisition of jazz theory and the types of students that are most likely able to acquire that knowledge and apply it to jazz improvisation. Ciorba and Russell begin by pointing out the problems of traditionally acquiring knowledge in jazz theory, which was almost entirely trial and error (sec 1.2). They then discuss the importance of…

Eric Whitacre’s music is undoubtedly compelling. One can find themselves to be struck by its uncommon beauty and wonder why it is that being exposed to this music can affect them so heavily. After an in-depth analysis of several of Whitacre’s choir pieces, it is clear that his complex chord structures are key to his incredibly unique sound. Whitacre uses strong, unexpected chords that demand resolution and possess an intense energy. This paper presents an examination of Whiatcre’s musical…

After Keiler examines Bernstein’s logical fallacies, he dismantles Bernstein’s claims of the harmonic series as basis for all music. He writes that even the “simple diatonic scale requires…gross adjustment” (Keiler, 208). This is indeed true, with the fourth being 29 cents flat, the third 14 cents flat, and the seventh 12 cents flat (as compared to equal temperament tuning). Keiler also says the diatonic scale reaches into the outermost limits of the harmonic series. This is again factual, since…
