    No-one is Unmusical:Elizabeth, Everyday Cheermongery, and Active Musical Citizenship

    Get PDF
    Everyday cheermongers spread positive emotion through social contagion. This capability is illustrated here through a portrait of Elizabeth, a ‘Suzuki method’ violin teacher in Edinburgh. Through this example, we can learn about the important ways in which children and parents alike rely on skilled and dedicated felicitators to help them through the difficult balance between enjoyable and sociable music-making on the one hand, and the pursuit of musical excellence on the other. After presenting the philosophical and practical aspects of Shinichi Suzuki's ‘everyone-is-talented’ approach to instrumental music instruction, this paper argues for recognition of the key roles of music in facilitating happiness, and explores cultural variety in the promotion of musicality. While also recognizing that music education needs a democratic ‘no child left behind’ approach, the argument is that the full benefits of music are better realised through active musical engagement and social music-making. When not treated simply as an optional leisure activity or as a means to other ends, music can be a pathway to self-transcendent ‘peak experiences’ that can be achieved not only via the extraordinary performances of elite musicians, but also by savouring the very imperfect musical sounds produced by children

    (Board)ing Schools: Rudyard Kipling’s young heroes

    Get PDF
    Rudyard Kipling’s young male characters, namely Stalky (Stalky & Co. ) and Harvey Cheyne Junior (Captains Courageous), whom he portrays with noticeable admiration, exhibit, on the one hand, circumspection, stoicism, leadership, and stalkiness, on the other hand, the absence of scruples in manipulating those acting in loco parentis to achieve their desired ends. This article aims to examine how these characters can shed light on one another, allowing for a better comprehension of them both. Furthermore, it will explore how the religious archetype of the trinity permeates Stalky & Co.’s composition of characters, and how muscular Christianity shapes Captains Courageous. Stalky and Harvey thrive in a masculine world, access to which requires leaving women behind, substituting them with brotherhoods or identification with the father. The perfect man, Kipling postulates, is the resourceful and courageous rule-bending Christian who is able to keep women and natives in a state of obedience.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    VERSE 1I never knew that sunbeams shone so brightly,I never knew that such sweet flowers grew,I never saw the stars that twinkle nightlyUntil the day, my love, when I met you.I never knew that I would feel so lonely,Yet when you go, my very soul goes too.My life would know but gladsome moments only,Could I but live it to the end with you. REFRAINMy heart has learned to love you,Now do not say good bye;You filled my life with fondest hopes,In childhood days gone by.Were you to leave me now, dear,My very soul would die!My heart has learned to love you,Now do not say goodbye. VERSE 2What tho’ the flow’rs sweet incense e’re be lending,What tho’ the moonbeams make night bright as day,What tho’ the bird’s sweet cadence be unending,‘Twould be as naught to me, were you away.Let all the world bestow its grandest treasures,E’en gates of Heav’n swing wide to let me thro’.‘Twould be an endless life bereft of pleasures,Had I to live it, loved one, without you.

    Beautiful Ohio

    [Verse 1] Long, long ago, Someone I know Had a little red canoe In it room for only two Love found its start Then in my heart And like a flower grew. [Chorus] Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream While above the Heavens in their glory gleam And the stars on high Twinkle in the sky Seeming in a Paradise of love divine Dreaming of a pair of eyes that looked in mine Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see Visions of what used to be [Chorus 2] Drifting in the moonlight While the Heavens gleam Ah Ah Seeming deep in love Dreaming of your eyes Beautiful Ohio in my dreams used to be
