In the Wind Ensemble, I play the trombone. It is a very easy instrument to play because there are only seven slide positions to remember. The only problem I have with playing the trombone is how much space you need to play it.

In specific, gender and sexuality is highly targeted towards females within new religious movements (NRMs). To begin, gender plays a role in new religious movements, where women become subordinated in a hierarchy, lower than men, while they…

The spiritual process of artistic expression in the Quaker community was based on the conflict of spiritual principles, which sought to minimize the corruption and debasement of the material world. This religious foundation defines how the Quakers sought to find a simple and plain expression of architecture or art, which diminished the influence of the material world on their spiritual purpose under God.
