General Music 6 Mrs General Music 6 Mrs. Tichy Show Student Info Form from Gen Music documents. Why Learn Music Music is a Science It is exact, specific, and it demands exact acoustics. A conductor’s full score is a chart, a graph which indicates: 1. Pitch, 2. Melody 3. Dynamics 4. Harmony 5. Intensity- all at once and with the most exact control of time. Music is Mathematical It is rhythmically based on the subdivisions of time into fractions which must be done instantaneously, not worked out on paper. (4 sixteenth notes played 1 e & a!) Music is a Foreign Language Most of the terms are in Italian, German, and French; and the notation is certainly not English, but a highly developed kinds of shorthand that uses symbols to represent ideas. The language of music is the most complete and UNIVERSAL language because in every country of the world, NOTES are the same! (Music scores) Music is History Music usually reflects the environment and times of its creation, often even the country and/or racial feeling. E.g. Revolutionary or Civil War songs reflect those times. God bless America and God Bless the U.S.A. after 9/11. Music is Physical education It requires fantastic coordination of :fingers, hands, arms, lips, cheek and facial muscles, and TONGUE, in addition to extraordinary control of the diaphragm (breathing muscle), back, stomach, and chest muscles, which respond instantly to the sound the ears hear and the mind interprets. Music is all these things, but most of all…. Music is a FINE ART!! It allows a human being to take all these dry, technical, but boring and difficult techniques and use them to create emotion! That is one thing science cannot duplicate: humanism, feeling, and emotion. FUNCTIONS OF MUSIC People of all ages in all parts of the world use music in many different ways and for many different purposes. Some of the uses are listed below.

PURPOSES AND FUNCTIONS OF MUSIC (HOW MUSIC IS USED TO AFFECT US…..!) SELLING AND ADVERTISING • Used in commercials (“Mike Barney Nissan..” “Valu…”, others????? • Used to motivate us to BUY (e.g. Christmas music in October!) EDUCATION/LEARNING!! ☺ • Learning the Alphabet • Learning the metric system • Classical music before/during tests • D.A.R.E. songs ENTERTAINMENT • Concerts: Rock,Pop. Rap, Classical, Oldies • Shows and Musicals • Parades, Circuses, Amusement Parks, etc. HEALING • Music Therapy e.g. assisting stroke patients to regain use of arms How is music therapy utilized in hospitals? Music is used in general hospitals to: alleviate pain in conjunction with anesthesia or pain medication: elevate patients' mood and counteract depression; promote movement for physical rehabilitation; calm or sedate, often to induce sleep; counteract apprehension or fear; and lessen muscle tension for the purpose of relaxation, including the autonomic nervous system. How is music therapy utilized in nursing homes? Music is used with elderly persons to increase or maintain their level of physical, mental, and social/emotional functioning. The sensory and intellectual stimulation of music can help maintain a person's quality of life. How is music therapy utilized in schools? Music therapists are often hired in schools to provide music therapy services listed on the Individualized Education Plan for mainstreamed special learners. Music learning is used to strengthen nonmusical areas such as communication skills and physical coordination skills which are important for daily life. MUSIC IN OUR LIVES Centuries ago, the sounds of a bird- or the rushing of wind through the trees - indicated the presence of God to nature worshippers. For example, the famous composer Franz Schubert regularly sat by a stream and listened to the turning of the water wheel and the dripping of the water. (Interesting inspiration for new pieces…) Music was also an example of the voice of God speaking to his people. Today, music is heard in many different ways. Most of us are too busy to sit by a stream listening. Instead we hear music in: the stores and malls in which we shop, theaters, places of worship , our homes , and our cars . We are awakened by music on our alarm clock and we often listen to music while preparing for our day and riding to work or school . Music is almost as much a part of our daily lives as is the food which we eat. Music can affect us emotionally, changing the way we feel. If we hear music which is inappropriate for a certain occasion or mood, frustration may result. If we like the music, and it fits the occasion, it will energize and excite us! Music can affect us physically, perhaps helping us to run or walk faster, or work more productively in school or on the job. In school, music is used not just in band, orchestra, and chorus, but also in phys ed, life skills, social studies and many other subjects. Many studies have found that listening to classical music before tests (Mozart esp.) can help students score higher on those tests! Of course, many students who do participate in band, chorus, orchestra, jazz ensemble, or the school musical find those activities to be the highlight of their school day. In fact, America is known as the “land of opportunity” and the “land of musical opportunity” because only in America can students receive free instrumental music instruction in school. In most European and Asian countries, parents must pay for after school private music lessons. Adults who participate in music as a hobby often enjoy their music experiences as much (or even more than!) their chosen career. Most movies and sporting events use music constantly. For an experiment, turn down the T.V. volume to zero while viewing a movie or commercial. How does the lack of music affect it? The world of business uses music constantly to market/sell products. During holiday seasons, malls feature local music groups. In fact, we are often shocked to hear holiday music in stores even before Halloween! Retailers use music to set a mood which will motivate shoppers to “buy now.” T.V commericals use music to motivate the public to buy the product. Again, turn down the t.V. volume during some commercials and ask yourself how that changes the commercial. In the field of medicine and helaing, music has recently become an effective tool. Music is often played during surgery to relax both the surgeon and the patient. The field of Music Therapy uses music to help children and adults with special needs, as well as stroke patients, develop physical and mental coordination. Music is fun…but more than fun…music is part of life itself. “Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts, as the one which, more than any others, ministers to human welfare.

  • Oliver Twist
    APPENDIX B Summary of Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist In a parish workhouse, a nameless young woman dies after giving birth. Her son, Oliver Twist—as named by the beadle, Mr. Bumble—is sent to a separate branch of the workhouse with other orphaned infants and raised by the monstrous Mrs. Mann. Oliver miraculously survives the horrors of the “baby farm,” and, on his ninth birthday, is transferred to the central workhouse. After three months of slow starvation, the boys draw lots to see who will ask for more gruel; Oliver draws the long straw and carries out this unenviable task. Bumble and the board of directors severely punish Oliver and plan to turn him out of the workhouse. After a failed attempt to apprentice him to a brutal chimney sweep, Bumble eventually manages to unload Oliver on Mr. Sowerberry, the undertaker. On top of his depressing new trade, Oliver must deal with the bullying of his fel- low apprentice, Noah Claypole. Oliver finally fights back against Noah when his rival taunts him about his deceased mother. This second “rebellion” earns Oliver a stern rebuke from Bumble and a brutal beating from Sowerberry. Consumed by the misery of his life, Oliver decides to run away, though he first returns to the baby farm to bid goodbye to his friend, Dick. Oliver barely survives the seventy-five mile walk to London. On arriving at Barnett, he encounters a strangely attired cockney boy who introduces himself as Jack Dawkins (though he goes by the name of the Artful Dodger). The Dodger invites Oliver to come and lodge with a respectable old gentleman, and he conducts a wary Oliver through the slums of London to a dilapidated flat.

For each AO, write their strengths and next steps. An examiner’s commentary is on the slide after but don’t look at that until you have attempted it yourself. • AO1- SPAG, terminology and argument • AO2- Writer’s methods • AO3- Context • AO4- Understanding of crime writing genre • AO5- Sense of debate Oliver Twist Dickens presents criminals as products of their society.’ To what extent do you agree with this view? Remember to include in your answer relevant detailed exploration of Dickens’ authorial methods. In some ways the criminals in the novel could be seen as products of society especially the likes of Nancy who is murdered and Fagin who is hanged. On the other hand, some people might argue that they are not products because they choose this life for themselves and many of them do really terrible things like Sikes who kills Nancy and Fagin who uses the boys. In this essay, I am going to look at both points of view. Firstly, it could be argued that Nancy is a victim, and therefore a product of her society, as like a lot of individuals who live at the bottom rung of society, the only way in which she is able to survive is by turning to criminal or immoral activity - in her case prostitution and involvement with more hardened criminals such as Sikes and Fagin.

  • Hunger for Life in Oliver Twist Novel
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 4 October 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 HUNGER FOR LIFE IN OLIVER TWIST NOVEL Karabasappa Channappa Nandihally Assistant Professor Of English Government First Grade College, U.G.&P.G.Centre Dental College Road,Vidyanagar,Davanagere. Abstract This novel focusing on Poverty is a prominent concern in Oliver Twist. Throughout the novel, Dickens enlarged on this theme, describing slums so decrepit that whole rows of houses are on the point of ruin. In an early chapter, Oliver attends a pauper's funeral with Mr. Sowerberry and sees a whole family crowded together in one miserable room.This prevalent misery makes Oliver's encounters with charity and love more poignant. Oliver owes his life several times over to kindness both large and small.[14] The apparent plague of poverty that Dickens describes also conveyed to his middle-class readers how much of the London population was stricken with poverty and disease. Nonetheless, in Oliver Twist, he delivers a somewhat mixed message about social caste and social injustice. Oliver's illegitimate workhouse origins place him at the nadir of society; as an orphan without friends, he is routinely despised. His "sturdy spirit" keeps him alive despite the torment he must endure. Most of his associates, however, deserve their place among society's dregs and seem very much at home in the depths. Noah Claypole, a charity boy like Oliver, is idle, stupid, and cowardly; Sikes is a thug; Fagin lives by corrupting children, and the Artful Dodger seems born for a life of crime. Many of the middle-class people Oliver encounters—Mrs.

    Oliver! (1968) AUDIENCE 82 liked it Average Rating: 3.4/5 User Ratings: 55,441 Movie Info Inspired by Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist, Lionel Bart's 1961 London and Broadway musical hit glossed over some of Dickens' more graphic passages but managed to retain a strong subtext to what was essentially light entertainment. For its first half-hour or so, Carol Reed's Oscar-winning 1968 film version does a masterful job of telling its story almost exclusively through song and dance. Once nine- year-old orphan Oliver Twist (Mark Lester) falls in with such underworld types as pickpocket Fagin (Ron Moody) and murderous thief Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed), it becomes necessary to inject more and more dialogue, and the film loses some of its momentum. But not to worry; despite such brutal moments as Sikes' murder of Nancy (Shani Wallis), the film gets back on the right musical track, thanks in great part to Theatrical release poster by Howard Terpning (Wikipedia) Onna White's exuberant choreography and the faultless performances by Moody and by Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger. The supporting cast TOMATOMETER includes Harry Secombe as the self-righteous All Critics Mr. Bumble and Joseph O'Conor as Mr. Brownlow, the man who (through a series of typically Dickensian coincidences) rescues Oliver from the streets. Oliver! won six Oscars, 85 including Best Picture, Best Director, and a Average Rating: 7.7/10 Reviews special award to choreographer Onna White. ~ Counted: 26 Fresh: 22 | Rotten: 4 Hal Erickson, Rovi Top Critics G, 2 hr. 33 min.
