An Analysis of Music in the Creation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth Music is a part of daily life, and it makes up enormous sections of cultures around the world. J.R.R. Tolkien, in creating his own world, made certain that the aspect of music was still deeply engrained within his fictional works. Music is used to further deepen the plots, enhance the characters’ emotions, and to give life to a world that to him was as precious as our own. So the question arises: In what ways and to what…

eating ice cream, you could sit and listen to the pipe organ play in the background on a hot, summer day. In the reading about the pipe organ, it mentions that one of the different ways it makes different sounds is through flue or reed pipes. My question would be, what is the difference in the sound of each type of pipe, and what are they made out of? The reading also introduced the concepts of harmonics, which is playing surrounding notes around the one that is played. One interesting fact…

They forget about the raw emotions that the artist was trying to get across to the listener within their work. It is easy to tell the different types of planes that different artists are trying to reach. Artists that play heavy beats with repetitive sounds and lyrics are appealing to the sensuous plane. They are trying to reach those people who are intrigued by loud noises and bass drops. Artists such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Drake are some popular examples of singers on this plane. These…

the short and long sounds of each letter. The students received multiple phonics lessons all from two videos. They were physically interacting with the video because they used their arms to create the letter C when a consonant appeared on the screen and the letter V when a vowel appeared on the screen. After the videos, the students participated in another activity that…

which discusses the treatment and tools for children diagnosed with auditory-processing disorder. Another definition of ADP is “A disorder in the recognition, discrimination, ordering, grouping, and localization of sounds, with both organizations emphasizing the processing of non-speech sounds” (Moore, 2007, p. 295-304). There are studies shown that there are similarities in that of dyslexia. That is why it gets overlooked so much when assessing the child for auditory-processing. The children…

I haven’t realized that the mechanism for us to hear the music is quite different from the languages before. This video reminds me of one of my classmate in middle school, who is born deaf and had the cochlear implant. He could communicate with us but his pronunciation is slightly different from us. It happened almost ten years ago and I am not sure whether the cochlear implant devices have been greatly improved nowadays. According to the video, the modern multi-channel cochlear implant device…

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) CAS is a pediatric neurological speech sound disorder. This disorder impairs the precision and consistency of the movements that underlie speech. However neuromuscular deficits are absent. It may be the result of a known neurological impairment, and include complex neurobehavioral disorders with known or unknown origins. It may also occur as an idiopathic neurogenic speech sound disorder. The main impairment in planning and/or programming spatiotemporal…

How does sight and hearing affect your reaction time? Introduction/Background: Many researchers have confirmed that the reaction time for sound is faster than reaction time for sight. Average reaction times for hearing being 140-160 milliseconds and a visual reaction time being 180-200 milliseconds. (Galton, 1899; Woodworth and Schlosberg, 1954). This is because an auditory stimulus only takes 8-10 milliseconds to reach the brain (Kemp et al., 1973) whilst a visual stimulus takes 20-40…

or straight? Curly… or straight? Hmm i'll just go with curly.” i plugged in the curler and put on some tunes but loud enough to where i could still hear the doorbell ring. As i was almost done with the last touches of my makeup i hear the faint sound of the doorbell going off. I jumped in excitement which in result got mascara on my nose! I rushed trying to get the black stain off the end of my nose as my mother called out my name letting me know that he is here. I ran out of my bathroom and…

I am a very good listener. It is one of the qualities that I like most about myself. As a communicator, I feel that I my empathy is one of my strongest attributes. Empathy involves feeling and experiencing another person’s situation, almost as they do. When listening to others, I internalize what they are saying or expressing. Because I am aware of what someone is going through, I am able to respond in a way that shows I understand and care. I would like to have more tolerance for ambiguity.…
