All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled We're Free: The Impact of a Rap Writing Music Therapy Intervention on Self-Esteem of At-Risk Adolescents in a Public Middle School Setting by JESSICA L. SCHLABACH has been approved for the School of Music and the College of Fine Arts by Kamile Geist Associate Professor of Music Margaret Kennedy-Dygas Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT SCHLABACH, JESSICA L., M.M., May 2015, Music Therapy We're Free: The Impact of a Rap Writing Music Therapy Intervention on Self-Esteem of At-Risk Adolescents in a Public Middle School Setting Director of Thesis: Kamile Geist The negative behaviors displayed by adolescents who are at-risk can have detrimental effects on society. Developmentally appropriate, engaging treatments that adolescents enjoy may be the most successful as preventative interventions. The purpose of this study was to investigate rap writing as a possible treatment intervention to improve self-esteem of at-risk adolescents. A convergent, mixed methods design was used to provide qualitative insight into quantitative results. Quantitative measures include the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a frequency count of low self-esteem behaviors. Qualitative measures included a thematic analysis of a post study questionnaire, a session transcription, and lyrics written by the participants. The results of this study suggest that rap writing had some positive effect on the self-esteem of three at-risk middle school boys. Participants perceived rap writing as a fun activity that increased confidence and satisfaction Keywords: music therapy, rap writing, at-risk adolescents, self-esteem, hip hop, rap in therapy, hip hop in therapy 4 DEDICATION To all the clients who led me on this unexpected journey discovering the therapeutic importance of rap and Hip Hop. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my thesis committee for their commitment to advising me through this process. Kamile Geist, Laura Brown, Richard Wetzel, and Greg Janson, thank you for encouraging me to be my best and supporting me throughout this academic endeavor.

dropout. In the United States, 7.4% of the population were considered high school dropouts in 2010 (Hansen, 2014; Kanu, 2014) and the National Center for Education Statistics reports the typical national average of dropout is 3.4%.

    Lose Yourself Eminem a F G Am F Am F Am His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy F There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti Am He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready F To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting Am What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud F He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out Am He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now F The clock's run out, times up, over, blaoh! Am Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity F Oh, there goes Rabbit. He choked, he's so mad but he won't Am Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows F His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope Am He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he knows F When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Am Back to the lab again, yo F This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment G And hope it don't pass him Am You better lose yourself in the music F G The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Am You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow F G This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo Am You better lose yourself in the music F G The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Am You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow F G This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Am His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping F This world is mine for the taking, make me king Am F As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring Am But superstardom's close to post mortem F It only grows harder, homie grows hotter Am He blows.

  • The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power
    The Notion of Song, Identities, Discourses, and Power: Bridging Songs with Literary Texts to Enhance Students’ Interpretative Skills Elroy Alister Esdaille Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Elroy Alister Esdaille All Rights Reserved Abstract Sometimes students struggle to interpret literary texts because some of these texts do not lend themselves to the deduction of the interpretative processes with which they are familiar, but the same is not true when students pull interpretations from songs. Is it possible that students’ familiarity with songs might enable them to connect a song with a book and aid interpretation that way? This study attempted to explore the possibility of bridging songs to literary texts in my Community College English classroom, to ascertain if or how the use of song can support or extend students’ interpretive strategies across different types of texts. I investigated how songs might work as a bridge to other texts, like novels, and, if the students use songs as texts, to what extent do the students develop and hone their interpretative skills? Because of this, how might including songs as texts in English writing or English Literature curriculum contribute to the enhancement of students’ writing? The students’ responses disclosed that the songs appealed to their cognition and memories and helped them to interpret and write about the novels they read. Moreover, the students’ responses revealed that pairing or matching songs with novels strengthened interpretation of the book in a plethora of ways, such as meta-message deduction, applying contexts, applying comparisons, and examining thematic correlations.

  • Permafrost Warming in the Tien Shan Mountains, Central Asia ⁎ S.S
    Global and Planetary Change 56 (2007) 311–327 www.elsevier.com/locate/gloplacha Permafrost warming in the Tien Shan Mountains, Central Asia ⁎ S.S. Marchenko a, , A.P. Gorbunov b, V.E. Romanovsky a a Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, AK 99775-7320, USA b Institute of Geography, Almaty, Kazakhstan Received 11 May 2005; accepted 19 July 2006 Available online 5 October 2006 Abstract The general features of alpine permafrost such as spatial distribution, temperatures, ice content, permafrost and active-layer thickness within the Tien Shan Mountains, Central Asia are described. The modern thermal state of permafrost reflects climatic processes during the twentieth century when the average rise in mean annual air temperature was 0.006–0.032 °C/yr for the different parts of the Tien Shan. Geothermal observations during the last 30 yr indicate an increase in permafrost temperatures from 0.3 °C up to 0.6 °C. At the same time, the average active-layer thickness increased by 23% in comparison to the early 1970s. The long-term records of air temperature and snow cover from the Tien Shan's high-mountain weather stations allow reconstruction of the thermal state of permafrost dynamics during the last century. The modeling estimation shows that the altitudinal lower boundary of permafrost distribution has shifted by about 150–200 m upward during the twentieth century. During the same period, the area of permafrost distribution within two river basins in the Northern Tien Shan decreased approximately by 18%. Both geothermal observations and modeling indicate more favorable conditions for permafrost occurrences and preservation in the coarse blocky material, where the ice-rich permafrost could still be stable even when the mean annual air temperatures exceeds 0 °C.

    Review: Roadburn Thursday 19th April 2017 By Sander van den Driesche It’s that time of the year again, the After Yellow Eyes it’s straight to the much anticipated annual pilgrimage to Main Stage to see Dark Buddha Rising Tilburg to join with many hundreds of perform with Oranssi Pazuzu as the travellers for Walter’s party at Waste of Space Orchestra, which is Roadburn. As I get off the train the another highly anticipated show, and in heat kicks me right in the face, what a this case one that won’t be played massive difference to the dull and rainy anywhere else (as far as I know). What morning I left behind in Scotland. This happened on that big stage was is glorious weather for a Roadburn phenomenal, we witnessed a near hour Festival! Bring it on! of glorious drone-infused psychedelic proggy doom. In fact, it felt a bit too early for me personally in the timing of the festival to experience such an extraordinarily mind-blowing set, but it was a remarkable collaboration and performance. I can’t wait for the Live at Roadburn release to come out (someone make it happen please!). Yellow Eyes by Niels Vinck After getting my bearings with the new venues, I enter Het Patronaat for the first of my highly anticipated performances of the festival, Yellow Eyes. But after three blistering minutes of ferocious black metal the PA system seems to disagree and we have our first “Zeal & Ardor moment” of 2018. It’s Waste of Space Orchestra by Niels Vinck not even remotely funny to see the On the same Main Stage, Earthless Roadburn crew frantically trying to played the first of their sets as figure out what went wrong, but luckily Roadburn’s artist in residence.
