capstone Abstract
This proposal is to identify the problem that has been occur to the campus and why is understanding different music from different places is important. St. Johnsbury
Academy is a school with diversity. But this diversity is not working its true value out.
It is extremely obvious at the breakfast or the dinner time, when there are only dorm students. People are sitting with only who speaks familiar language, especially as a part of the dorm community; I have found this problem by my own experience.
Because of my passion to music and dance, I personally started this project because I want to use music to solve this problem, or maybe just make it better. But there’s a huge problem in it is some people do not understand other cultures’ music and they judge it by all kinds of bias. I would like to use this capstone project as a tool to create a talk and a concert just to bring two sides of the gap a little bit closer.
Literature Review:
Background:
Asian and Western culture have so many differences, not only generally, but more specifically, music has a big role in it. Literatures have mainly discussed the difference between Asian and Western music and how is it differ from each other. They includes: Tone system, couple analysis and what method was used in this literature. This review will be mainly focusing on why this differ has affected the campus and why is a presentation about it will be important to the campus, further than that, why is a product as a concert will help this situation.
Formal Review: At the study of Expression of Emotion in Asian and Western Music Mirrors Vocalization, it says this “In Western music, the major mode is typically used to convey excited, happy, bright or martial emotions, whereas the minor mode typically conveys subdued, sad or dark emotions.” Which
