Interveiws

I am almost done with the interveiw with Mr.Taylor. I am just waiting on hiw last reponse and I will be able to put up the interveiw since it was via email. He has given me some good answers and I really do appreciate his help.

Sadly, I haven't heard back from Mrs. Dobberstien though. I don't know if she is busy or has a lot going on.

Also, I can't interveiw Mr. Lindner due to the fact that he is not here due to family health issues. That also means that I can't turn in any mentor logs.

I also havent heard from my old high school band teacher at all. I hope that if I send another email, I can get a response.

Continuing to learn

I am almost finished with the interveiw with Mr.David Taylor.

He is the choir teacher here at northern and he also teached Music theory. He has also taught A.P Music theory in past years and also was a band director that had a marching band.

He is my teacher and I do look up to him and I am learning a lot from his responses.

Starting to finish

Today, while waiting for my interveiws to all come together, I am going to start working on my powerpoint. I have a lot of things I have to do like:

I have a lot of information for each subject. I don't know how long this powerpoint is going to take and I am also going to have pictures and videos which help my point.

Interveiws

These past few days, I have been starting to interveiw Mr. Taylor, the choral and music theory teacher here at Northern, and my middle school band teacher, Mrs. Dobberstien. I have recieved emails back but the interveiws aren't finished yet. Hopefully all of my questions will be answered and more people will take my survey.

The power of music

Update #3

Lately, I have been trying to get more interveiws especially with professors. I have some or students but I don't have any for teachers or professors yet and I have been trying to contact people but not many have responded. I have been doin a lot of research in the mean time and have gained a lot of information to help my point and I haven't once found anything against it. All of the evidance I have found is stating the good about music and not the bad. 

More Info

While Researching, I found some interesting information that helps prove my point that music does truely help those who allow it to...

In 2001, students participating in music scored higher on the SATs than students with no arts participation.
• Scores for students in music performance classes were 57 points higher (Verbal) and 41 points higher (Math).
• Scores for students in music appreciation classes were 63 points higher (Verbal) and 44 points higher (Math).
