    Preparing for the future: A description of client music preferences and musical preparedness of music therapists by Nathan A. Mensah, MT-BC A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement For the Master of Arts Degree Master of Arts in Music Therapy Program in the Departments of Graduate Studies and Music and Theatre Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana May, 2019 Abstract Music therapists often use client-preferred music in order to build rapport with clients, decrease their anxiety, increase relaxation, and increase overall efficacy of music interventions. The American Music Therapy Association states music therapists are required to play a wide variety of genres for use in sessions. Client’s musical tastes have grown diverse due to music streaming, and some music therapists may not have the musical skills necessary to recreate these styles in sessions. Currently, there is no data to show which genres and music styles are most commonly requested by their clients, or data to show which genres music therapists feel musically prepared or unprepared to use in sessions. A survey was used to collect data from board-certified music therapists to ask about which genres their clients most commonly request, as well as which genres they feel musically prepared using in sessions. The survey’s findings were that client’s most frequently requested Children’s, Classic Country, Classic Rock, Gospel, Hymn, Oldies, and Pop Music. Respondents reported to feeling most musically prepared to use genres that were most frequently requested by their clients. Music therapists reported not feeling musically prepared to use genres associated with World Music cultures or genres requiring use of electronic or synth- based instruments such as Bachata, EDM, Funk, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop/Rap, J-Pop, K-Pop, Latin Hip Hop/Latin Rap, Latin Pop, Merengue, Punk, Reggaeton, Salsa, Ska, Trap, and Video Game Music.

  • American Music Review the H
    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLVI, Issue 2 Spring 2017 Dominican Migrants, Plural Identities, and Popular Music Angelina Tallaj, Guttman Community College, CUNY In an age of globalization marked by proliferating population movements, ever-faster communication, and cultural exchanges across nations, diasporic communities strive, often through music, to maintain connection to a homeland identity. In doing so they create new styles in adapting to their new host society, and offer musi- cal experiences that complicate the home/host binary positions. Dominican-American music, while influenced by American genres such as R&B, house, and hip hop, also features specifically Dominican Spanish lyrics and distinctive local Dominican rhythms to assure a continuity with Dominicans’ identity as Latinos or Hispanics. Dominican genres in New York, especially merengue and bachata, have become symbols of Latinidad (pan- Latino solidarity) for many migrants from Latin America precisely because they blend local and global genres of music. These genres mix rural Latin American cultural references with urban elements from New York City in ways that Spanish-speaking groups, who also experience newly fluid racial and ethnic identities away from their homeland, can identify with. Experiencing these Dominican-American genres is a way for migrants to rei- magine new and more porous borders of geography, race, and history. They combine past and present, rural and urban, and home and host countries in ways that create new and more plural models of identities. For many Dominicans, New York is just another Dominican city: we call upper Manhattan Quisqueya Heights, citing the Taíno Native Indian name for the island of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

  • The Same Old Song?: Gender, Subjectivity, and Dominican Popular Music in Bachata Del Ángel Caído. Kathleen Costello Pedro Anto
    Vol. I, Número 1 Invierno 2009 The Same Old Song?: Gender, Subjectivity, and Dominican Popular Music in Bachata del ángel caído. Kathleen Costello Pedro Antonio Valdez’s first novel, Bachata del ángel caído, earned the Dominican Republic’s National Novel prize in 1998 joining a long list of late twentieth-century Caribbean novels that have garnered critical attention for their appropriation of popular music to the literary realm. However, unlike other Dominican novels that incorporate elements of popular music primarily in reference to the Trujillato, Valdez’s novel engages popular music in relation to contemporary Dominican society and the popular musical form of bachata, highlighting many tensions and conflicts concerning gender and Dominican social identities. Yet, in many respects, Bachata del ángel caído constitutes a deeply problematic representation of the intersection of gender and Caribbean popular music, dealing in patterns of social behavior that tend to stifle the empowerment of women. Throughout Valdez’s novel, bachata music serves as a leitmotif in a plot that centers on life in the poor barrio of el Riito in the Dominican city of La Vega. Valdez’s lower-class characters frequently come into contact with each other at the local cabaret that doubles as a brothel with a jukebox that continually pumps out bachatas. In this essay I will draw a connection between bachata music, the emotionalism of the male characters, and the physical and psychological violence carried out against the female characters. In order to understand how the bachata functions in the novel in relation to gender and patriarchy, it is necessary to briefly outline the music’s complex relationship to contemporary Dominican society and trace its transition from a sub-cultural phenomenon to a more dominant cultural form.

It included diverse and famous regional dances in a mixture called “Jarabe.” Dance experts called this style “Jarabe” because of the sweet glances the couples share as they dance, or to the mixture of elements that it is composed of. In essence, the word Jarabe, derives from the Arabian “Xarab” which means mixture of herbs. And the word “Tapatio” means someone from Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco. It commenced when the famous Russian Ballerina “Ana Pavlova” was touring Mexico in 1919. She fell so in love with the culture and the sumptuous regional costumes, that she decided to include the dance in her permanent repertoire “El Jarabe Tapatio” while dressed as China Poblana. The Mexican cultural authorities concluded it was an honor having the “Jarabe Tapatio” as the most important dance of Mexico and that it needed to be danced with “puntas” dressed in the China Poblana costume.

  • Racialization of Dominican Youth in New York City ニューヨーク市における若いドミニカ系の人種化
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk 75 Racialization of Dominican Youth in New York City ニューヨーク市における若いドミニカ系の人種化 Mika Miyoshi 三吉美加 Abstract: This paper examines racialization of Dominican youth in relation to their distinctive lifestyles vis-à-vis that of their parents. Dominicans have played a central role in latinizing and caribbeanizng New York City. With the constant migration since 1960s, they gainfully consolidated their “ethnic” community in upper Manhattan, Washington Heights. As the US-born population develops, community leaders set up cultural institutions, such as afterschool programs that educate youngsters, teenagers and college students who according to their parents are seemingly not fully acculturated in the “real” Dominican way of life. Such anxiety as well as obvious differences in their daily lives as demonstrated in their English proficiency, legal status, ethnic diversity promotes racializing of their children in search of self-fulfillment as well as self-identity. The close contact with African Americans and Puerto Ricans who share the same neighborhood, gets strengthened as they spend time together in school and after school. The coteries among them, especially of hip hop fans reward them for racialized identities. Whichever identity; black, Latino or Hispanic one picks up, it separates young Dominicans from their parents. The young might be proud of themselves as Dominican Americans. Such identities clearly recapitulate ethnic transformation that is characteristic of New York City. Keywords:

  • Merengue and Bachata: a Study of Two Musical Styies in the Dominican Republic by Monica Nyvlt, B.AA4.A
    Merengue and Bachata: A study of two musical styIes in the Dominican Republic by Monica Nyvlt, B.AA4.A. A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fùlfillment of the requirements for the degree of (Master of Arts) Department of Sociology/Anthropology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario January, 200 1 200 1, Monica Nyvlt Cha~terTwo BACHATA The OrÏgins of Bachata The music that is now called bachata has been influenced by a long tradition of guitar music in Latin America; the Mexican ranchera. Cuban son and bolero. Puerto Rican jibaro music and Colurnbian-Ecuadorian style vals (Inchaustegui 1995: Hernandez 199 1; 1995). This guitar tradition consisted of tnos or quartets which incorporated guitars and percussion instruments such as maracas, bongo drums. the giiira, and clmes (Hernandez 1995: 5). In the Dominican Republic. spoons were also used as percussion instruments to accompany the guitar ensembles. The early style of bachata that emerged in the 1960s was characterized as romantic guitar music and the most notabIe influence on this style was the Cuban baiero. The Cuban bolero made its entrance into the Dominican RepubIic in the nineteenth century with the migration of Cubans fleeing the Wars of Independence between 1895 and 1898 (Hemandez 1995: 5; Manuel 1995). The Cuban migrants settled mostly in the Cibao region (Hemandez 1995: 5). They brought with them musical styles such as the son and the bolero, which have influenced the development of the Dominican bolero and Iater bachata. Interestingly, the region of the Cibao seems to be the region where merengue @ico and bolero, later bachata, developed.
