This reference shows how music lays a foundation of teenage values beyond school or parental teaching. A musical artist can influence a young mind by the chosen lyrics with greater effectiveness than formal education. Music can control or enhance moods. A good mood can get better or a bad mood can be worked through with the choice of music. A bad mood can also be enhanced by lyrics about suicide or violent behavior. Teens can also use music to gain information about the adult world, to withdraw from social contact, facilitate friendships and social settings, or to help them create a personal identity. (O'Toole, 1997)

I have come a very long way; the four years since I started have only progressed with intensity and involvement with music. I know the next years of my life will only be more intense and more involved with music, and I hope that it can become a career one day. Music has allowed me to express myself during my happy moments, my teenage angst, my depression, my heartbreaks, and it has always gotten stronger, and it carries me with it. I cannot wait to see what music I’m creating in five, ten, or fifteen years. One day, I’ll look back to the songs I have finished in my younger days, and I will be reminded of my high school years, and what I was going through during those times, because, to me, music is

“It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.”(page 50) Lastly, music has already helped me grow and find myself as an individual and I can’t wait to see what the rest of my life has in store for

For as long as mankind has walked on this earth, music has been an important part of our culture and lifestyles. Each walk of life beats to a different drum. Different cultures use music for many aspects of their lives; for religious purposes, for celebrations, for comfort, for sorrow, for relaxation, for sports, for dances, for energy, for learning, for sleeping, and for sexual experiences. Everyone uses music for something. Music connects with people and reaches them in ways that words simply cannot. Music is a representation of what feelings sound like. It expresses emotion and brings that characteristic out from within us; it tells us a story. Every generation has its’ own sound and different music styles have emerged and become

The perception of one’s role and how they fit into a particular community can very important, so it makes sense that feelings of exclusion can be particularly devastating, especially at a young age. Shelby Martinez, who has been my closest friend since high school, has shared her adolescent experiences with these feelings of exclusion, with me on numerous occasions. On many of those instances, she reflected on how much time she spent by herself in her bedroom with headphones on, just listening to music. It was clear that music played a big role for her growing up, so I decided to do my musical ethnography on her. Shelby spent her adolescence in Yuba City, which is a relatively small Northern Californian town that embraces country life, with big focus on agriculture, hunting, and country music. However, Shelby was didn’t hold this same affinity for a rural

The age fifteen is often mentioned in Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen” and Five for Fighting’s “100 Years” because of its effect and importance towards one’s future. The songwriters use the age not only comparing it to the years of a human’s life, but instead referring to the age when one aspires to live in a romantic fairy tale. In this stage of one’s life, they transition between the innocence of childhood toward to the maturity of adulthood. One is not yet fully developed, or independent, but are still gaining new knowledge. Fifteen, an illusion created by preconceived ideas, is focused on through song to display when one discovers or questions their identity.

The piece that stood out to me is The Appeal” by Erica Daborn because of the simple black and white color. The first thing I noticed was the animals behind a wall or in some kind of cage while on the other side people are holding empty bowls. The people were asking the animals for food but there is also a lady with fox skin on her shoulders. The Mural was made with charcoal on a canvas and has many details in the texture of the animals and people. Daborn’s contrast on this mural makes it stand out, as well as the size of the canvas. She did very little of the landscape in the background so that people would look for the meaning instead of the beauty. On the plague next to the painting it mentions that it is a part of the Dialogues with Mother

“How can I be good again? I just lost my wife and son in a car accident. There's nothing in life that can cheer me up. I have become an alcoholic who is now jobless.” I said. My Therapist, Dr. Newman, told me “Trust me, Mr. Smith. Only time can heal your wounds if you allow it to. Well, that's the end of the session, and I want to recall the accident that occurred so we can talk about it tomorrow.”

As a child I frequently made up little songs, and there seemed to be a constant stream of music in my head. I could see myself in the children she was observing and like them I didn’t have a framework for my experience – it was just my life. Whether it was singing while playing, tapping out some rhythm, singing at the top of my lungs to a favorite song, or goosebumps from hearing “Hall of the Mountain King”, it all felt familiar and warming. It has also made me aware of the musicking I continue to make every day in small ways here and

I laid on my empty bed, wondering where it all had gone wrong. Was it me? Did I cause this? I needed answers, but I knew I would never get them from that unbalanced man. I didn’t understand, I followed father's advice,
