Download or read book The Music Lesson written by Victor L. Wooten and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes an inspiring parable of music, life, and the difference between playing all the right notes…and feeling them. The Music Lesson is the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning...All you have to do is find the song inside. “The best book on music (and its connection to the mystic laws of life) that I've ever read. I learned so much on every level.”—Multiple Grammy Award–winning saxophonist Michael Brecker

Download or read book The Effect of Music on the Reading Comprehension of Junior High School Students written by Stacey A. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students often claim they can study for exams and complete homework assignments effectively while listening to music. However, scores on national achievement tests indicate otherwise. Empirical studies of the effects of lyrical music on reading comprehension are limited and mixed in their findings. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the effects of lyrical music on the performance of a reading comprehension task in junior high school students. Theories such as personal construct theory and social identity theory formed the basis for the study; concepts such as attention and distraction, self-discipline and self-regulation, and the role of music in adolescent identity development and formation were considered. Three-hundred-thirty-four 7 th and 8th graders completed the reading comprehension subtest of the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests, Fourth Edition, under nonmusic conditions and with accompanying music composed of Billboard Magazine's Top Hit Singles. Following the music portion of the test, the students completed a survey to assess their preference for or against listening to music as they study. An Analysis of Variance procedure determined that the reading performance declined significantly when listening to music. A point-biserial correlation illustrated a more pronounced detrimental effect on comprehension for students exhibiting a stronger preference for listening to music while studying. Results are important for furthering student, parent, and educator understanding of the internal and external influences on study habits with the goal of designing, implementing, and evaluating support systems and strategies uniquely tailored to the developmental needs and personal preferences of adolescents.

Download or read book The Effects of Music on Reading Comprehension written by Özlem Erten and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of listening to music while reading on reading comprehension performance. The participants of this study were made up of 129 eighth grade students. The study was modeled by the randomized posttest-only control group design. A Music Appreciation Test and A Reading Comprehension Test, originally developed by the researcher, were used to determine the students' music preferences and reading comprehension performance, respectively. The results showed that the reading comprehension performance of the students who read the passage with their non-favored non-verbal music, non-favored verbal music, and favored verbal music were significantly poorer than those students who did not listen music while reading the same passage. Importantly, the current results also demonstrated that the reading comprehension performance of the students who listened to their favored instrumental music while reading did not considerably differ from the reading comprehension performance of those who did not listen to music.
