Teenagers listen to different music genres and use music to relax and study as exam pressures increase during high school. They may also be inspired by bands to start their own musical groups. College students have free time to listen to music and opportunities to play, and use music magazines and concerts to enjoy their favorite artists while balancing school commitments.love pp presentation

This study examines how newly arrived immigrant and refugee children perceive and understand music learning activities at their school. Interviews were conducted with three students from different cultural backgrounds to understand their perspectives. The students demonstrated a clear understanding of the music lesson content and creative process. They emphasized the social and engaging aspects of music making. The most popular instruments were the bass xylophone and drums, likely due to their physicality and emotional expression. The students' perceptions of music learning were remarkably similar despite their diverse backgrounds, possibly because music lessens the stresses of cultural adaptation. This study provides insights into effectively eliciting perspectives from non-native English speaking children through creative interview techniques.The many hats of james laster

Steve Foley - Reference for Lowrie Robertson - Aug 20_2013
- 1. August 20, 2013 To Whom it May Concern: It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Lowrie Robertson. Lowrie was employed as the lead music teacher at Portsmouth Christian Academy from 2004-2009. During most of that time, I, as principal, was Lowries supervisor and had several opportunities to observe and evaluate his teaching. Lowrie was an excellent teacher, who moved forward our music program during his tenure. His strengths were his rapport with his students, his commitment to improving his craft, and his administrative skills. During my observations of his class, I was impressed with the demeanor of his students: they saw themselves as part of a team, they respected Lowrie as a musician and a teacher, and they demonstrated a joy of learning. His classroom was comfortable yet energetic and challenging. When I met with Lowrie to review the results of my observations, he consistently demonstrated a desire to grow as a professional, taking constructive criticism well, asking insightful questions, and seeking to always improve student learning. Unlike other teaching positions, music teachers also have their work observed and evaluated by the wider school community during performances. For our school, these performances occurred during Christmas and the spring. As with any school, these concerts were high profile events that required weeks of preparation and planning. Lowrie oversaw every detail, preparing his students extraordinarily well to do their best. As he became increasingly familiar with our students potential and our school culture, Lowrie moved these performances forward, with each becoming better than the last. In closing, Lowrie Robertson was the consummate professional, and any music department would be fortunate to have him. I was blessed to be his colleague and am pleased to know that soon students will be once again under his tutelage. I would hire him without reservation. Sincerely, Stephen M. Foley Dean of Men Portsmouth Christian Academy, Upper School
