Sarah Vaughan Quotes
Sarah Vaughan (a blue singer) once said, "When I sing, trouble can sit right on my shoulder and I don't even notice."

The message in Sarah Vaughan’s quote states that music can help change people’s emotions for a while. Music can refocus the person’s mind set and take it off of their problems. Some lyrics being sung can influence a person in a positive way. In fourth grade, I was bullied by several people in school. One day after day of being bullied, I came home and cried. I grabbed my headphones and played my favorite song Can’t Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake. In just a few minutes, I found myself singing along and dancing in my room. I completely forgot about my troubles in school that day. In the song Brave by Sara Bareilles

    Marie Lu Legend Quotes

    In the book “Legend” by Marie Lu, I would like to have Day be my best friend out of all of the characters. Day has been nothing but caring throughout the whole book to Tess and other characters such as June and his little brother Eden, which is a characteristic that I really admire about Day. An illustration as to where Day was caring to Tess was when he met Tess for the first time. Day was on the streets by himself when he saw her in an alleyway. He called out to her and she ran away from him. Day could tell that Tess was really scared so him stayed put. He did not want to scare Tess, he only wanted to help her. ‘“Stop crying, I’m not going to hurt you.’ I knelt down beside her” (Lu 85). This quote shows Day trying to take…

    Melissa Owens Quotes

    Lily is a fourteen-year-old girl whose mother died when she was four years old, an accident that Lily feels she was responsible for. She dresses in clothes she made in home economics. She is not a popular person in school. She has jet-black hair that resembles a nest of cowlicks, no chin, Sophia Loren eyes and an inferiority complex. She takes to picking scabs on her body and biting the flesh around her fingernails until they bleed. Boys, even the hard-up ones, ignore her. Rosaleen makes Lily wear breeches in the cold, which are neither fashionable nor complimentary, especially under her dresses. Girls become quiet when she walks past, because she has no fashion…

    Raymond's Run Quotes

    Music can give you a new view on something like how beautiful creatures can relate to the feelings of others and how they feel about stuff like racing or differences of others. The author of “Raymond's Run”, is Tiny Cade Bambara. The main characters are Squeaky, Raymond, and Gretchen. During the story, Squeaky has to defend her brother who can't take care of himself and is stereotyped by everyone. No, I think that there are too many striations on people and that it does not matter who you are, you can have fun like in beautiful creatures. I believe that Music can influence the way you act to others and the way you think about them. The quote talks about race is no way to judge people. “we are so different yet the same.” this quote from beautiful…

    That quote is probably the essence of romanticism.

    Aaron Copland: How We Listen To Music

    I think a lot of times we don't really listen to the music and don't appreciate the true or full meaning behind a piece. I know I am guilty of not really listening to the music's meaning. Many times I use music to change my mood. I can be bummed out about cleaning my room so I throw on some "happy" music to change my mood. I use music as a crutch instead of a learning experience. I often also find myself listening to the words in the song, but it is not always the lyrics that give the meaning to a song. There can be a song with no words and still give a sense of emotion and meaning through the notes or pace. After reading this essay I put on a couple of the songs by the composers Aaron Copland mentions in this essay. I tried to really listen to all three planes instead of listening to the music instinctively. This is something I have done before back in music class or when I took music lessons, but I forgot how beautiful music really is. Today many young adults, like us in highschool, no longer listen to music that has no lyrics. It is really a different feeling to listen to the melody or rhythm of the song then the crazy lyrics of the songs we listen to today. I think we still like music for the same reasons Copland discusses in his essay, but now the words in the songs play a bigger role in whether or not we listen to it. I think after reading this essay we can all learn to appreciate the meaning to…

    Nt1310 Unit 7 Music Assignment

    He goes on to say that the different type of music a person listens to can change their emotions in ways of crying, and even anger (Holt, M., 2007). When I am feeling down, lonely, blue or even just disappointed I tend to listen to mellow R&B music something that I know will relate to my feelings at that time. A perfect example would be when I have to spend more then a day away from my significant other due to our schedules and I am missing him terribly I tend to listen to a song that he told me is how he feels about m by artist Anthony Hamilton called “Her Heart”. When I listen to the song I know that everything will be okay and without having my love there I can still remember how he feels about me and that he does not want to be away from me anymore then I want to be away from him and I feel a little less lonely. I also use some music to try and calm me down such as a great artist his songs always change my mood his name is Calvin Richardson, he is a young R&B singer with an old soul in his music and it always picks my mood up when I am a little stressed or even upset. I just seem to be taking away by the music and forget about the world at that…
