CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES in the FAITH DEVELOPMENT of ADOLESCENTS: a PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY Winnie Gray White Liberty University School of Education CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FAITH DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY by Winnie Gray White Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University June, 2014 CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FAITH DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY by Winnie Rebecca Gray White A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA June, 2014 APPROVED BY: James Swezey, Ed.D., Committee Chair Meredith Furrow, Ed.D., Committee Member Lin Wheeler, Ed.D., Committee Member Scott Watson, Ph.D., Associate Dean, Advanced Programs 2 CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FAITH DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenology study was to discover how Christian music experiences affect the faith development of adolescents. The lived experiences are the on-going process in which adolescents develop through the stages of faith and how Christian music fits into that process. The participants were adolescents who participated in a youth group with an active music experience on a weekly basis. I used the transcendental phenomenology model which included the epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of texture and structure to collect, gather, and analyze the data. Data were collected from 11 adolescents utilizing observations, Fowler’s Life Tapestry Journal, Fowler’s Faith Development Instrument, and Christian music experiences interview questions. I analyzed the data using systematic phenomenology procedures by developing individual textural and structural descriptions, compositing textural and structural descriptions, and synthesizing textural and structural meanings and essences of the Christian music experience in the faith development of adolescents. This study resulted in compelling and insightful phenomenological descriptions about the faith development of adolescents and how Christian music affects their development. Keywords: music, faith development, Christianity, youth, singing, phenomenology 3 Dedication Page I dedicate this paper to Jesus Christ. I am thankful that He called me to get this degree, provided a way financially for my tuition, and gave me a family that supported me each step of the way. I owe my husband the most gratitude. He has provided me an office in our home, taken care of children at night in order for me to work, and coached me to work past my bedtime to “get it done.” Without his sacrifices, I would never have gotten this far. I want to thank my three children, Emma, Sarah, and Jake, for allowing me quiet time to work. They have sacrificed also so that I could get this degree. I also want to acknowledge my parents’ role in my dissertation process. They have provided moral support and also financial support. Without them, this would have been a lot more stressful. I want to thank Dr. Lucinda Spaulding for her guidance in EDUC 919, and Dr. James Swezey for his encouraging emails and expert attention to details in my work. Last but not least, I want to thank my principal, Joy McDowell. She has been incredibly supportive during these four years I have been working diligently on this degree. She has understood on the days I have run out of the school building right after the last bell. I am thankful for her support and listening ear. 4 Table of Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 3

ART vs. ARTIST by Khee Hoon Chan ike most sullen, angsty teenagers from the ‘90s, I was obsessed with emo, whil- Ling my days away on music from brooding white boys like Taking Back Sunday, Brand New and Hawthorne Heights. Brand New’s music had a huge presence in my formative years, with frontman Jesse Lacey’s dour posturing, caviling howls and logorrheic lyrics giving voice to the inexplicable emotions of teenhood. However, in light of revelations about his sexual violence, their songs have become abhorrent and unlistenable. The joy of listening has been replaced by outrage and guilt, as if my enjoyment made me complicit in his crimes.

  • This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
    This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.

With its aggressive beat and anti-establishment connotations, rockabilly is considered a widely male-dominated genre, a point supported by the majority of scholarship and literature on the subject. However, a review of available contemporary recordings, television shows, advertisements and interviews show that women were an integral part of the history of rockabilly music.
