(2006). Qualitative investigation of young children's music preferences. International Journal of Education & the Arts, 7(9). Retrieved [date] from http://ijea.asu.edu/v7n9/. Abstract This qualitative study examined young children’s music preferences through group conversations with children, interviews with parents, and non- participant observation of classroom settings in daycare and elementary classrooms. Data were analyzed inductively to generate themes, and revealed that (1) children expressed distinct preferences for an eclectic range of music from very early ages; (2) rock and popular music were frequently mentioned as preferred styles by parents and children, with movie and television soundtracks high in popularity; (3) music listening was characterized by a reliance on diverse technologies, with listening inextricably interwoven with viewing; and (4) music listening and experiences in the home described by children and parents varied considerably from what was offered in the school and daycare settings. Findings from this study contribute to an understanding of young children’s music preferences and listening habits in contemporary Western society. International Journal of Education & the Arts Vol. 7 No. 9 2 Introduction The week’s theme in the older toddlers’ room at the daycare center was “The Zoo.” Decorated with pictures of camels, monkeys and gorillas, along with stuffed animals and puppets, the spacious room displayed a large sign proclaiming, “Welcome to the Pearson1 Zoo.

  • Naperville Jaycees Announce *NSYNC's Lance Bass to Host the POP 2000 Tour at the Last Fling on Friday, August 31, 2018
    For Immediate Release May 8, 2018 Contact: Alex Anderson 773-677-0769 [email protected] Naperville Jaycees Announce *NSYNC’s Lance Bass to Host the POP 2000 Tour at the Last Fling on Friday, August 31, 2018 The Naperville Jaycees is proud to announce *NSYNC’s Lance Bass will host a lineup of boybands for the POP 2000 Tour at the Last Fling on Friday, August 31, 2018. This family-friendly tour will feature O- Town, Aaron Carter, Ryan Cabrera and Tyler Hilton from One Tree Hill. Lance Bass is the quintessential illustration of a highly successful and driven jack-of-all-trades: singer, host, actor, producer, writer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and cosmonaut. Beyond his fame as a member of the phenomenally successful group *NSYNC, where the group sold an impressive 60 million plus records worldwide, Bass has made himself a household name throughout the globe. He is the perfect host for the POP 2000 Tour, which will allow the Naperville Jaycees’ Last Fling audience to relive their boy- band memories from the early 2000’s. O-Town O-Town’s story began in 1999, when “Making the Band” (produced in conjunction with the creator of both the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC) chronicled the creation, development, and rise to success of O-Town throughout three seasons of the series. The group became the first to be signed by Clive Davis to his label, J Records, and released two full-length albums, which included #1 singles, “Liquid Dreams” and “All or Nothing.” The latter of which was nominated for Song of the Year at the Radio Music Awards in 2001.

  • Oh, Aaron. There Are a Lot of Ways to Find Inner Peace- Some Take Long
    Oh, Aaron. There are a lot of ways to find inner peace- some take long walks, some journal or paint, some do yoga or drugs, and some turn to their faith. And then there's music. Music, as the English playwright William Congreve once said, has charms to soothe the savage breast. Last Thursday, I didn't really know what to expect when I arrived at a Des Moines bar to see Aaron Carter in concert, but I would never have anticipated that I would leave feeling as if I had been saved. Then again, AC works in mysterious ways. Like a lot of pop stars who topped charts before they reached puberty, Aaron Carter's story is shrouded in a past Dr. Phil might call "troubled" and I would call "fucked up." Aaron began his career at the tender age of seven, and by the time his second album went platinum, Aaron Carter had become an international sensation, touring with Britney and plastering the walls of tween girls before he even finished middle school. Though a child sensations' dismal fall from stardom seems practically a rite of passage by now, Aaron's strikes you as being exceptionally tragic. He sued corrupt music impresario Lou Perlman for royalties, and had his career and his adolescence fiercely micromanaged by his mother Jane, who went on to pocket an unfair share of Aaron's earnings and sell him out to tabloids. Not surprisingly, Aaron filed for emancipation when he was 16. Reports swirled around his friendship with Michael Jackson, drug-related arrests, and substance abuse.

  • AMC Discussion Guide 2016.Indd
    IN CINEMAS NEW YEAR’S DAY “Outstanding” Illustrated special collector’s edition The Times “An insanely beautiful writer” Movie tie-in paperback John Green ABOUT THE BOOK An extraordinary novel of love, loss and hope 12.07. There’s a monster at Conor’s window. It’s not the one from his nightmare. But it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Now a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film, Patrick Ness’s modern classic is a heartbreaking but uplifting tale of healing and, above all, the courage it takes to survive. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What does the monster represent to Conor? Do you perceive it as real or as a product of Conor’s imagination? 2. Why does Conor feel so lonely and isolated? Is he right to feel betrayed by Lily? 3. “Stories are wild creatures,” the monster says. “When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?” What does the monster mean by this? In which ways does the rest of the novel prove the monster’s point? 4. Discuss the role that humour plays in this novel. Where are the best comic moments? 5. “Sometimes people need to lie to themselves most of all,” the monster tells Conor. In what sense is Conor lying to himself? Is his mother lying to herself? What does each of them need to believe? 6. “This is all sounding pretty fairy tale-ish,” Conor says to the monster. However, the monster’s stories deviate from the traditional fairy tale norm. Why does the monster play with Conor’s expectations? What do the stories teach him? 7.

  • Monster Walter Dean Myers Alberto Camacho - Engl 112B
    Monster Walter Dean Myers https://walterdeanmyers.net/ Alberto Camacho - Engl 112B Walter Dean Myers was born August 12, 1937, in Martinsburg, West Virginia. He was born Walter Milton Myers but after his mom died two years later he was given to Florence and Herbert Dean who lived in Harlem. Mr. Myers life “revolved around his neighborhood and church. The neighborhood protected him and the church guided him.” His speech impediment was often made fun of and he lead with his fists. Mr. Myers wrote Monster ​ in 1999. He was inspired by a boy who was facing trial for a “stick up.” When Myers asked him what his role was in the “stick up,” the boy answered, “I was doing the shooting.” He was switching from 1st to 3rd person and Myers noted that these kids would speak about their lives in 1st person but of their crimes in 3rd person. “They distanced themselves from the crime.” Summary: Monster is a beautiful story that tells us the harsh ​ realities that a black or brown person have to go through when in pursuit of justice. Steve Harmon is a sixteen year old boy who’s on trial for his being “involved in a murder of a drugstore owner.” The trial is set in Harlem and his D.A. believes that since he’s black, race is going to be a factor. Steve narrates the story as a film script, switching scenes or cutting to Steve’s own personal written narratives. His experience with the judicial system is rather optimistic because he knows that he’s not the Monster people are claiming him to be.
