Blog - Stack Exchange: Winter Bash 2013 is here!

Abby T. Miller on December 15, 2013

The gatherings of family and friends, the giving and receiving of gifts, the making and/or breaking of New Year’s resolutions – however you and yours celebrate, the end of a calendar year heralds many traditions.

Here at Stack Exchange, we wanted to get each of you an awesome, personal gift, and mail it to you as our way of saying “thanks.” But our accountant pointed out that there are 4.5 million of you, which promptly reminded us that the holidays aren’t about gifts. The real spirit of the holidays can only be captured with… …

@badass “Their idea was that if you can find a music where there are no prior associations, and you are now using this music to create a self, help a person descend into human consciousness and evolve, the music you are creating will now be associated with this process of development […]” (Aigen 2001: 91).

evolve=to develop and change gradually over a long period of time?

right?

badass

correct

@badass . In their work with individuals, their early sessions would frequently find them discovering an idiom which „worked‟ and engaged the child and they would often bring the same music to later sessions. Moreover, Nordoff and Robbins used precomposed children‟s songs to connect with their clients from session to session

precomposed??

badass

made before

Ice Girl

Nordoff and Robbins‟ great ability to be open and attuned to their clients, delicately exploring many different idioms with their clients led them to realise that “many (children) react strongly to one or another of the archetypal forms of music originating in different
cultures […]” and that “the ability to improvise in all these styles is called for if the therapy is to attain its widest scope”

delicately here means?

badass

Marked by sensitivity of discrimination: a critic's delicate perception.

sensitive

Ice Girl

improvise =to invent music, words, a statement etc from your imagination, rather than planning or preparing it first?

right?

badass

correct

widest scope means?

most applications

[…] why the writer use this in his essay?he used it in different parts

. We cannot jump straight in automatically presuming that therapy with a particular client will be easy because they are from a similar cultural background or because we believe we are able to play in their cultural „style‟. Even when a meeting of musical cultural identity does not arise with a client, their experience can still be valuable. from we to that means?

badass

[…] = missing text

Ice Girl

We cannot jump straight in automatically presuming ?

badass

We can't rush in as know-it-alls

Ice Girl

13:59

Aigen appears unafraid to admit that there may be problems when culture and identity become entangled in the therapy process, but he also puts forward the possibility that the objective qualities in music can override our subjective opinions and attitudes.

objective qualities and subjective opinions?

badass

objective=measurable

Ice Girl

what?

sure?

badass

subjective=not measurable

100%

Ice Girl

override?

not measurable opinions=subjective

badass

override=out weigh

not measurable opinions=subjective

Ice Girl

14:08

I didn't understand this part: not measurable opinions=subjective

badass

subjective opinions=personal opinions

depend on the person

remains largely open. It would be interesting and enlightening to investigate the subject further through clinical experience, and perhaps this paper will encourage practitioners to do so.

remains largely open. ????

badass

the question is unanswered

Ice Girl

This paper has mainly explored theories, and therefore the question posed in its title (Music therapy and culture: an essential relationship?) remains largely open. It would be interesting and enlightening to investigate the subject further through clinical experience, and perhaps this paper will encourage practitioners to do so.

now what?
