Tony Baker & Alex Iles: Interviews with Two Trombonists who Excel as Performers and Soloists in Classical and Jazz settings
No full textabstract: The ability of musicians to perform well in multiple musical styles is increasingly common and necessary. This paper profiles two trombonists who have gone well beyond the ability to function in multiple genres, and are instead considered significant artists. Tony Baker and Alex Iles were chosen to be profiled for this project because both have achieved recognition as solo artists in the genres of classical music and jazz and have performed on international stages as soloists. They also have significant ensemble experience in both classical and jazz settings and are active teachers as well. Both hold-high profile positions that have helped grow their reputations as performers: Mr. Baker as a professor at one of the largest music schools in the United States, the University of North Texas, and Mr. Iles as a highly in-demand freelance musician in Los Angeles. This paper presents interviews with both trombonists that investigate their development as musicians and soloists in both classical music and jazz. They are asked to describe the benefits and challenges of performing at a high level in both styles, and how these have affected their musical voices. Common traits found in their responses are examined, and recommendations are created for musicians seeking stylistic versatility.Dissertation/ThesisD.M.A. Music 201
Girls' 'Pain Memes' on YouTube: the production of pain and femininity on a digital network
No full textIn this chapter, the author tentatively calling pain meme' videos on You Tube created by teenage girls in Australia and other Western countries. The author use the phrase pain meme' to describe a particular style of video blog found on You Tube, and seemingly created mostly by young women, who use handwritten flash-cards and an emotive music soundtrack to narrate personal experiences of bullying, abuse, grief, and often also self-harm, eating disorders and anxiety. The videos related to Todd's that surface on You Tube have several stylistic features in common: the use of handwritten flash-cards to tell a story while the subject remains silent; a black and white film setting; and an emo' ballad soundtrack. Many such videos predate Todd's. Research conducted on the representation and discussion of self-harm and suicide online is of some use in helping us understand the meaning and function of pain meme videos

Heteroglossia and Trujillo: Assessing Dictatorship in the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
No full textvi, 35 p.In this project, I will analyze the novel's two prominent forms of dictatorship. The first concerns the legacy of Trujillb - how he silenced an entire nation for decades, and the lasting effect of such silencing. This particular dictator is a man of both fact and fiction, of reality and mysticism (the Dominican people believed he had supernatural powers). In light of this, my work will feature historical accounts as well as the fictional accounts in The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. The second form of dictatorship is the act of writing itself; in the novel, Yunior's narrative approach suggests this potential, particularly with the story of Belicia, Oscar's mother. In an effort to piece together this story, Yunior must rely on secondary accounts (not Belicia. herself); it is through this indirection that the silencing potential begins to surface. In addition to recognizing this potential, however, I also want to address fiction's ability to resist it: Diaz and his writing brethren can and do (in his case) distinguish themselves from the likes of the Trujillato. Bakhtin's work in linguistics, specifically "Discourse in the Novel," elucidates an important form of resistance; Bakhtin believes that through a novel's heteroglossia, the authorial, "single voice" (O'Rourke) can fragment into a multiplicity of voices, some transcending the author, others not. I argue that The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao conforms to this Bakhtian principle and it is through the heteroglossia that Diaz can resist authorial dictatorship, just as Oscar's family (and the Dominican people) endeavors to resist the Platano Curtain-the singular voice of Trujillo and his troubling legacy
Improving the Partnership Between Parents and Teachers Through Communication of Expectations
No full textParents and education professionals are allied in their concern for providing the best possible educational experience for all children. However, while they may be partners, there may be a lack of consensus on the best educational practices and the role of the school in areas of socialization, discipline, and the discussion of controversial topics. To better facilitate the partnership between schools and parents, some schools have begun using parental surveys of teachers which allow for parents to provide input on their children’s education. This thesis uses a survey conducted at parent-teacher association meetings in two schools to explore parental expectations and attitudes toward educators and education. In total, 45 adults with children enrolled in school were surveyed. The author found that parents who saw the teachers as more encouraging of parental visits also deemed them to be better qualified. Results from both schools were largely analogous, though the parents of one school were particularly focused on teachers’ qualifications and abilities. The surveys also showed that parents are more likely to understand the educational system and to work cooperatively with teachers when they consider themselves an integral and important part of their child’s educational experience.SUNY BrockportEducation and Human DevelopmentMaster of Science in Education (MSEd)Education and Human Development Master's These
