  • “Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville
    “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights.

    Episode 308: JOHNNYSWIM That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs [00:00:00] <Music> Annie: Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun. I'm your host Annie F. Downs, I'm really happy to be here with you today. We've got a great show in store, one y'all have been requesting for always. So I'm thrilled about today's show. And before we get started, I want to tell you about one of our incredible partners, CRU. It probably goes without saying, but here I am saying it anyways, reading the Bible is so important to me. If you've been following me through 2021, you know, I've been doing the Bible in a Year, and I'm always blown away by the new things I learn, even in passages I feel like I've read 100 times. But imagine for a second that you couldn't get a Bible, like you couldn't afford one or couldn't just hop on Amazon and have one sent to your house. Take it one step further, and imagine that you aren't even allowed to have one. Honestly, sometimes we forget that there are so many people all around the world, who simply can't get a Bible. And that's why we're thrilled to partner with Cru. Cru is one of the largest evangelical organizations in the world, with over 25,000 missionaries in almost every country. Cru has given Bibles to people in their own heart language, and sharing the hope of Jesus all around the globe.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

    MUSIC EDVENTURES NEWS AND NOTES An Association of SongWorks Teachers November 2016 Fro m the President Hello MEI Community, As some of you know, I have a twin sister! My sister and I are similar in many ways, but here is one difference—she very recently took her first plane ride at the age of 30, and mine was a little over 10 years ago. I was a sophomore in college, and my friend Becky and I were Ruthanne Parker headed to Minnesota for a little fun. We stayed at a hotel with a Wyncote, PA restaurant that had delicious food, fabulous pool, and—to our delight, a free shuttle to the famous Mall of America. We had to go! We decided to venture out to the mall, even though the forecast called for a major blizzard. We thought “this is Minnesota, snow doesn’t affect them!” Of course, after enjoying some Orange Julius smoothies and rides, we found out the mall would be shutting down due to the blizzard. A very nice and brave cab driver (as you might guess the hotel shuttle was not operating at this point) drove us back to the hotel, and we went to bed early to rest up for the next day. We were meeting up with a very energetic, passionate, fun, and intelligent group of people and wanted to be on top of our game.

  • The Number of Nouns in the English Language Is Enormous
    The number of nouns in the English language is enormous. Nouns are “name” words; a noun can be the name of a place, person, thing, period of time, feeling, or idea. Examples of nouns: EIT, Taradale; Mary, man, child; computer, pencil; day, month, year, morning, afternoon, evening; kindness, beauty; communism.. Nouns are either proper and are capitalised (e.g. World Health Organisation, Einstein, Napier) or common (e.g. pencil, empathy). Common nouns are not capitalised, unless they are used at the beginning of a sentence. Some nouns change when they are plural. In the singular (e.g. book, child) In the plural (e.g. books, children) Some nouns do not change in the plural form Examples include: sheep, music. Nouns with a plural form can be counted; they are countable nouns For example: one book or two books. Nouns without a plural form are uncountable nouns For example: you cannot say two sheeps or two musics. Some nouns are uncountable in English but are often countable in other languages. For example: advice furniture weather information traffic news bread behaviour The three articles in English are a, an, the All three articles can be used before singular countable nouns For example: a book, the book. I have a few jobs to do. an egg, an organisation, the egg, the organisation. The may also be used before an uncountable noun, e.g. The traffic is heavy. The rice is cooked. How do you know which article to use? A and an are indefinite articles. This means that if, for example, I ask you for a pen it could be any pen.
