    A Comparative Evaluation of Group and Private Piano Instruction on the Musical Achievements of Young Beginners Pai-Yu Chiu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Music and Arts University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Craig Sheppard, Chair Donna Shin Steven J. Morrison Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music © Copyright 2017 Pai-Yu Chiu ii University of Washington Abstract A Comparative Evaluation of Group and Private Piano Instruction on the Musical Achievements of Young Beginners Pai-Yu Chiu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Craig Sheppard School of Music This study compares the relative influence of group and individual piano instruction on the musical achievements of young beginning piano students between the ages of 5 to 7. It also investigates the potential influence on these achievements of an individual teacher’s preference for either mode of instruction, children’s age and gender, and identifies relationships between these three factors and the two different modes of instruction. Forty-five children between the ages of 5 to 7 without previous musical training completed this empirical study, which consisted of 24 weekly piano instruction and a posttest evaluating their musical achievements. The 45 participants included 25 boys and 20 girls. The participants were comprised of twenty-seven 5- year-olds, nine 6-year-olds, and nine 7-year-old participants. Twenty-two children participated in group piano instruction and 23 received private instruction. After finishing 24 weekly lessons, participants underwent a posttest evaluating: (1) music knowledge, (2) music reading, (3) aural iii discrimination, (4) kinesthetic response, and (5) performance skill.

The term is woven deep into our language as well as our consciousness. Consider the connotations of homemade and homespun. Home can offer refuge from the hostile world, or it can be a prison. People living together inevitably — sometimes intentionally — rub one another the wrong way. This chafing provides writers with rich material for art. (Remember, without conflict there is no story.) Are these writers working through their own failed relationships with mothers, fathers, and siblings? Sometimes. Are they exploring their conflicted feelings toward a home they left behind? Maybe. Are they holding up a mirror that allows us to see our own homes and families in a new light? Most certainly. Though the trappings of Happy families are all alike; home and family differ across every unhappy family is unhappy cultures, human families have in its own way. much in common. Legend has it that a man from Czechoslovakia, — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina after watching a production of August Wilson’s Fences (set in Pittsburgh in the 1950s), approached the playwright and asked him, “How did you know about my family?” Wilson may not have known that particular man’s family, but he knew about families and how the sins of the Getty Images / father play out in the lives of sons.

  • POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT in FOUR PLAYS by LYNN NOTTAGE Ludmila MARTANOVSCHI ”Ovidius” University of Constanța This Study Focus
    POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT IN FOUR PLAYS BY LYNN NOTTAGE Ludmila MARTANOVSCHI ”Ovidius” University of Constanța Abstract: Since the 1990s, Lynn Nottage’s drama has constantly spoken to audiences and critics alike, as her plays have depicted characters whose individual struggles question the status quo and inspire self- interrogation for audiences in the United States of America and elsewhere. Working with an expanded definition of political engagement, the analysis here examines four plays in which Nottage turns a seamstress from the turn of the twentieth century into a protagonist capable of holding the audience’s attention for the entire length of a play (Intimate Apparel), reevaluates the communist overtones of the fight for racial justice at mid-century (Crumbs from the Table of Joy), exposes lingering colonialism and cultural appropriation (Mud, River, Stone), and attacks extreme violence enacted on women as part of the ravages of war (Ruined). In an interview, Nottage talks about the need to challenge oneself and she does live up to her goal of defying labels. As the current study shows, she cannot simply be celebrated as an African American woman playwright, but as an important voice in American drama today. Keywords: drama, performance, African American identity, race, gender, sisterhood, social change, colonialism in Africa, rewriting history, bearing witness This study focuses on four plays by Lynn Nottage, Crumbs from the Table of Joy (1995), Mud, River, Stone (1998), Intimate Apparel (2003) and Ruined (2008), all of which reflect on essential aspects of political engagement. The analysis first examines the African American women’s experience as revealed by the focus on characters from Manhattan and Brooklyn at two separate historical moments: 1905 in Intimate Apparel and 1950 in Crumbs from the Table of Joy.

  • Tony Kushner's <I>Angels in America</I>
    Global Posts building CUNY Communities since 2009 http://tags.commons.gc.cuny.edu Tony Kushner’s Angels in America: Histories, Futures, and Queer Lives Vanessa Campagna/ We must strive, in the face of the here and now’s totalizing rendering of reality, to think and feel a then and there. Queerness is essentially about the rejection of a here and now and an insistence on potentiality for another world.[1] José Esteban Muñoz Two decades have passed since Tony Kushner’s opus, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes (1993), premiered on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre, yet the questions raised by the play are no less a part of the current zeitgeist than they were when the play debuted. Through its protagonist, Prior Walter, Angels in America poses audiences with provocative and poignant questions including: Does a queer engagement with the future exist? If so, what does queer futurity entail? What are the terms and conditions of the “citizenship”[2] Prior demands for himself and his fellow queers? These questions evoke two of the play’s major themes, history and futurity, and initiate conversations about queer lives. In the twenty years since Angels in America debuted, these themes and conversations have become increasingly integrated into American public discourse. The Defense of Marriage Act[3] has been repealed, the United States Supreme Court defeated Proposition 8,[4] and marriage equality measures have passed in nineteen states. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell[5] legislation was dismantled by President Obama, and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act[6] has been presented to nearly every Congress since 1994.

  • Rescuing the Tragic Bully in August Wilson's Fences
    MYLES WEBER Rescuing the Tragic Bully in August Wilson’s Fences t the end of Fences (1985), the third entry in what would become August A-Wilsons ten-play cycle dramatizing the African American experience during the twentieth century, Gabriel Maxson attempts to instruct Saint Peter to open the gates of heaven and receive the soul of his recently deceased older brother Troy, the play’s self-absorbed bully of a protagonist. The surviving Maxson sibling, a brain-damaged military veteran bearing a metal plate in his head, believes “with every fiber of his being” that he is actually his Christian namesake, the archangel Gabriel; but without a mouthpiece for his trumpet, Gabe fails in three attempts to produce sound through the instrument. Having waited some twenty-odd years for this moment, though, the character refuses to accept defeat. “He begins to dance,” writes Wilson. “A slow, strange dance, eerie and life-giving. A dance of atavistic signature and ritual.” Once Gabriel finishes, claim the stage directions, the gates of heaven open “as wide as God’s closet” to receive Troy’s spirit. “Hence, the menacing Troy has been forgiven,” observed Ladrica Menson-Furr, “and will find a home in the spiritual realm.” By having a character summon a divine force to rescue the deceased protago­ nist—whether that force is truly Christian in nature or pagan and African as nu­ merous Wilson scholars have contended—the playwright seems to break with Aristotelian tradition, which would normally oblige the protagonist to endure, unhappily ever after, the consequences of his own hubristic error.

    Pirandellian Dark Comedy in Wendy Wasserstein's (The Heidi Chronicles) Pirandellian Dark Comedy in Wendy Wasserstein's (The Heidi Chronicles) Ayman Ibrahim Elhalafawy (*) Abstract The main aim of this paper is to study Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles (1988) as a dark comedy in the light of Pirandello's definition of dark comedy. Wendy Wasserstein (1950-2006) is one of the contemporary female playwrights who makes use of dark comedy. She is an excellent example of the genre dark comedy in the late twentieth century. This study attempts to explore a brief history of the genre and its predecessors and of expert opinions on the subject. Since all of the theorists in this study agree that Pirandello laid the groundwork for modern tragicomedy, through his plays and from On Humor, Pirandello's key points are identified and used as guidelines for determining the criteria with which to assess Wasserstein's play as a dark comedy. Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles (1988) is evaluated using the principles suggested by Pirandello: contradiction, opposition, and skepticism, and the three aspects of character: incongruity, humanness, and pity and sympathy. In conclusion, it turns out that Wasserstein transformed the genre, made it suitable to her time and re-stated its significance as a method for revealing human frailty * Department of English, Faculty of Arts, Kafr El-Sheikh University, Egypt 155 Annals of the Faculty of Arts, Ain Shams University -Volume 43 (July -september 2015) Ayman Ibrahim Elhalafawy 8811 On Humor 155 Annals of the Faculty of Arts, Ain Shams University -Volume 43 (July -september 2015) Pirandellian Dark Comedy in Wendy Wasserstein's (The Heidi Chronicles) The main aim of this paper is to study Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles (1988) as a dark comedy in the light of Pirandello's definition of dark comedy.
