Originals in variation, or Variations of the Original?

What may have played a part in my own major probably goes back to high school. In high school we didn’t have a music problem until me and my friends decided to try our best to get one, we argued with the school, we looked for a teacher who could teach and be willing too. We found a teacher who knew music theory but that was the extent of her knowledge but it sufficed we had a teacher now then we continued to search for instruments, few were obtained through our personal collection and most were found through funding.

What may have played a part in me deciding on a major would go back to high school. In high school we didn't have a music program until my friends and I decided to try out best to get one. We argued with the school for months and finally after a long fight we got our program; just one problem we didn't have a music teacher. We looked or a music teacher who could teach music as well as be willing to although we didn't have to search long, we found a teacher who has some education in music which was just enough to suffice. The final problem was getting instruments, between ourselves we had enough personal equipment but no extras for other possible students.

What I did with this passage was fix some grammer issues and change some run on sentences. I had some basic errors, spell check errors, basic grammer in general, sentences that could form two different and complete sentences.

After teaching all those students I just started thinking of how I would never want to teach music because there just isn’t anyone with the passion until one day my boss at the day care back home I played guitar on my break and kids came and asked me to teach them, I figured they just wanted to be able to play something like me, but I decided to teach them some basics and it was a completely different from trying to teach high school student with no interest, these kids had a genuine interest they really learned what I taught them. After the hours passed these kids could play blues guitar and I felt proud but that didn’t even come close to how great I felt when I heard the kids talking to their moms saying “Mom, I can play guitar now. Trevor taught me.” That is what made me think of a future teaching music.

 

After helping my teacher at the high school I started  thinking of how I would never want to teach music because no one had any passion to learn music in that class; until one day my boss at the local daycare back home said I should teach some kids guitar as an activity. I sat down with my guitar and the kids came up to ask me to teach them, instead of me having to ask if they want to learn. I figured they just wanted to play on one but it made me happy never the less. I decided to teach them basics and unlike the high school students these kids were actually showed a genuine interest and learned what I could teach them. After the hours passed each child could play a little bit of blues which made me feel proud; although that had no comparison to how I felt when the mothers would come pick up their kid and hear them saying "Mom, I can play guitar now. Trevor taught me." That is what made me rethink a future of teaching music.

 

What  I changed here were more basic errors as well as a major error in this passage that didn't make sense at all. I split some sentences and made others more detailed.

 

Thingysand enthographies

Issues that may ensue are that, clashing schedules may leave both student and teacher left without a time slot for interview, and maybe there would be no possibility for a shadowing, but I believe that neither of these shall befall me. I have talked to my teacher and she has agreed to another interview about my aspiration for towards a musical education degree; although I have yet to find someone willing to let me sit through a class to shadow.

A memory that may have had a lot of influence in me choosing my major is when I found out how much I loved to teach children while working at the daycare. It all started with a memory, something to push me into the direction, something that helped me realize that I want to teach children music.

            While working at the daycare there were a few times where my boss asked me what I could do to keep the children interested and busy while she cooked a meal for all the kids. So I would call the children into the living room and hand a few of them a guitar and the other children would go outside with the other workers and play tag or something. I remember looking at the confused faces of these children and each of them wondering what they were going to learn. As I taught them the basics of fretting a single string I could hear the buzzing of the strings from the children who were not holding the string down all the way and then you would hear a child gloat about how they did it hoping that the teacher would say good job. It must have been boring for some of the kids cause a couple were staring outside wanting to play tag but there were a few whose entire focus was put into the guitar they were holding. After a long while of teaching them something I thought they would like, a couple of the kids could play a blues riff.

            It was fun I got to play my guitar at work, I got the kids there to stop climbing on everything, but I guess what made me smile the most was when the parents came to pick up their kids and some of the kids would talk about how “I can play guitar now! Trevor showed me!” The parents were happy and in turn my boss was happy, although I still never got that raise I wanted.

Interviewing... to learned something i wanna do

I wish to interview Dr. Boden again because I want to be a music teacher when I grow older, I hope that I will be able to meet her in person again and take notes on the interview, so I hope that I can prepare for the interview, maybe talk about music and teaching.
I want to know what goes into a days work as a teacher, I am curious how the days are spent before during and after the class room. I am curious how to present the material, how you could give an example and explain it in terms the students will understand.
Also I am curious about what  goes into planning a class lecture, what kind of material is put into consideration different material, what is taught in the book, what is aloud to be taught out of the book.
The difficulties of teaching and how to deal with that.
The reason I want to ask these questions is because I want to know what the job is like from the teachers point of view, how difficult it can be and what kind of work I could expect.
I think I could add more variety of questions I just feel that I am asking easy questions, but I cant bring myself to not want to ask them because they are good questions
I don't think my questions are too bad in comparison to others but I don't get how I am supposed to compare to others.

Remediation!!! and a techinical journey

The effort in making a web text is long and tedious, this I knew because when I was in high school I had to make a web page for my final project. No hints were given I was just given basic steps and had to figure out all the coding myself, this took me a long time because not only did I have to write my text, I had to put in all the coding to change the font, the color and size. the page to me forever because my goal was to put all types of format into the paper (i.e. links, video, pictures, slide show) I didn't mind it at first but some of the codes were long and the placement was a bit difficult to navigate.
Although I knew about making a web site I never tried making a good one. I never though of the designs and the finer aspects of it, the sounds of the links never crossed my mind.
I am not very savvy when making a design but this article has given me some things to think about.
Web design is also a decent paying job if you can get good enough, a problem is that you have to know the coding and be willing to sit and work hard for a long time. although web design might not be a career choice, my high school teacher was a computer tech and he would get the occasional odd job making a website for someone.

My technology journey is more oriented around musical tech because I am still learning all the different things out there, computers I kind of have down simply because I learned about them more than anything else in high school.

ReMEDIAtion.... (see what i did there)

Bringing up the thought of someone changing the rythym to thriller is not to hard to believe for me, if i go off the definition of remediation given to me i can say that people do this all the time and have for years so, yes i can see it. People dont just remidiate songs there is a program called photoshop that not only enable you to create something original it can also alter a photo comepletely,likeputting a guitar in the statue of liberties hand and making it look real, its not their original work but they have altered it and made it somewhat there own.
There is also remixing, which is done commonly among musicians, i could write a song on my guitar, then i could play the exacting in a lower pitch or i can give it an echo or maybe make the sound clean, its the same thing just different versions of it.
I think i could use these strategies by reffering to someones musical research to back a point, or i could summerize results from an old experiment about the effects of certain genres of music on memory. I could refer toa teachers lesson and how they saw a certain idea I could change the writing to make the idea clear and more tangible in the case that someone may not understand the musical  terms put into some of the work.

PROBLEMS!!!!!

This video isnt working right now!! it keeps taking me to a proxy error page!!!

MY processes and a man named ... Zinsser

As for my writing process I believe that i have managed to make a steady progression, although my first draft seems to have had lack of any data what so ever, i believe that with the knowledge presented tome by the text i have read gives me some sort of information and i continue to write my paper, building my ideas, adding onto my thoughts. I have been and will continue to write in ernest what i have been so far, i will critisize and understand the current teaching method of the elementary teachers, but i believe that a time for change would be in the interest of anyone and i will write as to why.
My reasearch will rotate around the axis of what the effect of music has upon each person, and i will offer the ideals in which i present and back them with the axis, and i will also observe what todays current teaching is.
After reading this paper, i have seen a new point of view, less is more he says, it makes so much more he says; although my problem is that if i were to follow this approach instead of my usual i believe that all those years of improving my diction in the hopes of making my matter speech more eloquent would be a waste. I believe that if we restricted our speech to the standards written in ths paper would not be benificial but instead make writing a a tad more difficult. I personaly was always told that i am not making the way i talk better, but making the manner in which i speak more eloquent.

Reading The Times... Beliefs and such

The thought that we have gained our own reasoning for the sake of only being right, i can not agree with this. I am not being stubborn, it is an interesting notion, i just think that we developed our reasoning due to the accumulation of knowledge of the race over the years. I don't think reasoning is to help us find better beliefs, better descisions yes but beliefs, no.
I think reasoning could have started back to survival, we learned to make desicions as well as think of ways to get food and water. At the start of our race, we were "Man the hunted" and I see the early people as first using their thoughts on survival, thinking of new tools to help us survive.
This thought of being arguementive, that wouldn't change righting at all, people write as such all the time. Myself personally I write what I see as right and wrong, I am the one who interperates it all, the problems and questions are let in the air (in this case the paper) I have to use my reasoning to first interperate and then cmmunicate what would appear right to me.
To relate myself, to the thought of this article, I can say that yes I did argue only to be right, as well as tell a lie, I find this entire article interesting, it is a different notion that we may hold true, as children, but as we mature we use are reasoning for the first belief

Shitty Drafts ... AND Replying to them!? OH MY!

Just looking at the header I can tell you right away that this paper is meant to be informal. I read the paper and the auther is telling us that it is okay to have a crappy first draft and to me that is what I need to hear at times, because I  am always thinking that I will be graded on small things, but in the end i finish the paper and then re read it and i find things that absolutely need to be corrected. Lammott tells us from her own experiences and people she knows that everyone (Almost everyone) does first drafts that are shitty, which could help students like me realize that it is okay to have bad drafts because even the better writers do the same thing.
Looking at the second paper, I can say that this writer is not using profanity because he wants to give the student something that will give them information, the first paper seem to have used profanity to help us relax and maybe without relizing it get us thinking soething along the lines of "Hey they cursed, maybe it would be okay if we did that as long as the ideas get put down." The second paper is trying to get to students looking at papers written like the first, trying to tell us how we could go at helping write the second more improved draft
Overall reading these papers I have gotten a better idea on how to help other students with their papers also The first paper helped me out cause I am always nervous about my first draft and i feel a bit better now.

ADS!!! .... and rhetorical... things

The idea of intangible value, I hear this as “How can we make these commercials more valuable without spending much more”

His idea of using models to help improve the train ride is adding value, well the mention would make me ride a train as well as many other men and that will make the company more money just off the tickets, and as he said instead your making money just buying the employment of models.

There are plenty of people who want the train ride to go faster, boredom? Late for something business related?

Although from personal experience from planes or the rare ten hour car drive I want the ride to go faster out of boredom, although if I had the said model that was mentioned for the train serving me food then yes maybe I would be perfectly content with the ride and willing to pay for the trip and wait for the end and so yes I believe intangible value can be there.

To think that ads can have an influence on someone’s buying decision is completely reasonable and makes sense; it wouldn’t be just once I heard (or said myself) “That commercial says it’s okay (Good, Preferred, Recommended etc.) There are people who don’t know if their shampoo is good, their toothpaste, cars all of these people will debate about but if someone sees that the person in the commercial is good looking and has great hair they want that, if they see a car speeding through a beautiful route as they talk about the handling they compare with the peaceful view than they want that peace and easy ride so that may push them towards a decision.

I wouldn’t say that I learned more from this video because I learned the power of ads through my philosophy classes or just the basic theme of commercials, although I did very much enjoy this video.

The Three appeals Blog Assignment 1

Aristotle'sThree Appeals
Logos- Using logic to to persuade
Pathos- Using an emotional appeal
Ethos- The credibility of the speaker or writer

These Appeals, Today

  There are weightloss companys give numbers, saying which person weighed how much and what amount of weight they lost and when. These numbers appeal to our logic, statistics can be enough to persuade someone looking for results, that is logos.
  Charity organizations have commercials everywere, they use their ads on television to attack you. It happens to anyone who sits around watching television, you hear sad music and see pictures of children and told that they are indeed orphens. These ads usually have a speaker who tells you that for only a little bit of money you can give these children this and that. These commercials can make anyone feel guilty (or annoyed depending on the television show you are whatching, that is pathos.
  Tootpaste or toothbrush ads appear with credentials from dentist at times, orthodontist approved or dentist preffered, and what people think when they see or hear that is if the professionals who take care of are teeth thinks it is better than it should be, that is ethos.

Syllogism-
  A logical argument
EX: He used syllogism on his case and has the most pull because his reasoning is the most convincing.

  These appeals are so common and intigrated into todays society that they have become simple use and yet most people that use it may not know the name of it and the people that it is being used on have seen it all over and over again in different commercials and yet all of it is still useful and effective because it maybe simple to learn and use but they are still there and they still work.
