Full textThe present research studies the different artistic devices offered to older people who have been identified as vulnerable by “L’Hôpital de Jour des Fragilités et de la Prévention de la Dépendance de la Grave” in Toulouse (The Day Hospital of Frailty and the Prevention of Dependency of La Grave). The day hospital encourages patients to commit to joining some art workshops facilitated by professional artists and by cultural institutions recognized both locally and nationally. These artistic devices that do not fall under art therapy and do not have any therapeutic goals fit into a new way of thinking those interventions.For a number of years, a number of studies have measured the therapeutic effects of art on health, however very little research has been devoted to the particularities of the type of those artistic devices, especially in France. This thesis – based on field data collection – focuses on the experience of participants, on the educational positioning of the artists and also on the required dimensions that make those devices a success. To achieve this, we have established an organized research protocol consisted of several stages (observation, analysis, experimentation, modelling.), based on almost four years. We wanted to give an answer to these following questions: What effects these art workshops might have on a frailty old people ? What meanings and what values do people place on these workshops? Do the devices affect the representations of the participants (regarding themselves, the others, the aging effects…)? What are the assets and the limits of those devices? This research, driven by the theory of the devices from l’École de Toulouse, is at the intersection of several disciplines. It aims to capture the different levels of reality, particularly through case studies. This thesis, firmly focused on the co-construction of the knowledge between the actors of the devices and the researcher, participates in the understanding of the approach to artistic practices. We aspire to demonstrate the interest of professional artistic intervention in the field of health and also to reflect the role that art can play for every individual in a society, regardless of their profile

"Singing and Cystic Fibrosis| A collective case study on the effects of private voice lessons on the pulmonary function and quality of life of adult Cystic Fibrosis patients." Thesis, Shenandoah University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10000826.
Full textCystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that affects multiple systems including the respiratory tract. Thickened secretions in the airway must be removed to prevent deterioration of pulmonary function. Airway clearance techniques are based on physiological principles such as cephalad airflow, the combination of expiratory airflow with high frequency oscillation at the chest wall or oral cavity, and repetitive cough. Diaphragmatic breathing, respiratory muscle training, and voicing during therapy have also been shown to improve or maintain pulmonary function in CF patients. The physiology of airway clearance is similar to the physiology of singing, which involves controlled airflow resulting in pressure oscillations and vibration. Singers build awareness of their bodies and learn to manage their breath. It is also a relatively inexpensive and enjoyable activity that requires little equipment or space. Singing should not replace medically recommended therapies, but it may be a viable adjunct therapy.
In this concurrent mixed methods collective case study, the effects of nine private singing lessons on the pulmonary function, measured by FEV 1 and quality of life, measured by the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) of four CF patients were investigated. Participants also completed an exit questionnaire to determine their satisfaction with the lessons and impressions of the study. Lessons were taught by the same teacher and tailored to the needs of each participant. The teacher kept a journal of the proceedings of each lesson. To evaluate the efficacy of the lessons, the teacher assessed each participant before and after the lessons using a rubric and helped the participants to create modified phonetograms. Two single-factor analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were performed on the phonetograms to compare the pre and post voice lesson effects in terms of maximum and minimum sound pressure levels. Due to the small sample size, no further statistical analysis was performed, and the results of the study will be pilot data for future research.
Effects on FEV1 were inconclusive, but the teacher observed all participants coughed during singing and not during conversation, suggesting the mobilization of mucus. All participants improved in the domain of body image on the CFQ-R. This, combined with comments from participants on the exit questionnaire about gaining confidence, suggests an overall improvement in self-esteem resulting from the lessons. Most participants also improved in the domain of physical functioning. Two participants improved significantly in terms of maximum vocal intensity as indicated by their phonetograms. The teacher was well informed about CF but did not need to structure the musical aspects of the lessons in any specialized way, although an emphasis was placed on breathing and the allowance and encouragement of coughing from participants, which is deviant from the norm. All participants reported satisfaction with the treatment and wrote about breath control being one of the most important gains from the lessons. All but one reported they would continue lessons if given the chance. The results suggest singing lessons may provide some airway clearance and improve the quality of life of adult CF patients. Further investigation of this topic is warranted.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate what motivates a small group of student singers during singing lessons in an Art High School programme. The method used is qualitative semi-structured interviews. High school students were interviewed individually about their motivation, in specific relation to the singing lessons they attended at their schools. The data is analysed from a motivational psychology perspective. In the result chapter the theme To “feel good” is presented, which summarizes the participant stories about the increasing motivation they experience when they feel good when singing. Another clear theme that emerged in the semi-structured interviews was singing teacher’s impact on the motivation of the participants, which is presented in the section Genuine teacher- student relationship. The results also give an insight into the importance of Individualised lessons and Working towards goals as a key influence on student motivation. The discussion focus on what motivates singing student during the singing lessons in relation to motivational psychology aspects, with a focus on Explaining success with capacity, Positive feedback, Autonomy and Individualizing communication. Finally this study analyses the correlation between student/teacher relationship, individualised singing lessons and student motivation.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to examine voice teachers’ views on and work with music theory in singing lessons. The study’s research questions concern how voice teachers construct their views on the subject music theory within the framework of the singing lesson and how voice teachers construct their work with music theory within the framework of the singing lesson. To examine this semi structured interviews were held with four singing teachers working in high school. The theoretical framework of the study is discourse theory with some inspiration from discourse psychology. The interviews were recorded via audio recording and were then transcribed and analyzed. The analysis was conducted with tools from the chosen theoretical framework. In the result the six discourses found are presented, also presented is the fact that they conflict with each other in pairs of two: music theory as a necessary tool for singing versus music theory as an unnecessary tool for singing, music theory as the voice teacher’s responsibility versus music theory as other teacher’s responsibility and music theory as not dependent on another instrument versus music theory as dependent on another instrument. The result also shows that different discourses can exist collaterally within the same conversation with a singing teacher. Furthermore, the result shows how the respondents, on the basis of the discourses, work with music theory during their lessons and how they give home assignments in music theory. In the discussion the discoursive battles presented in the result are discussed in relation to the theoretical framework as well as previous literature and research.

nmez May 2010, 205 pages This thesis investigates how two loosely autobiographical works unveil the effects of colonization on their major characters in terms of their identities and senses of belonging. The Grass Is Singing by Doris Lessing, a second-generation member of the colonizer, and My Place by Sally Morgan, a third-generation hybrid Australian Aborigine, are selected because both novels essentially deal with colonial issues by depicting their major characters in a process of maturation within a colonial and post-colonial framework, the former using a semi-autobiographical narrative tone and the latter using an Aboriginal version of autobiography, which integrates oral tradition and storytelling. These two books reveal that a sense of identity is closely related to a sense of belonging and that both are fundamentally affected by the colonial situation. The effects of a sense of identity and a sense of belonging, which boil down to the demise or survival of the individual, interacts with family and society, physical environment, and race issues that the thesis investigates by dedicating a chapter to each. The method used in this point-by-point comparative analysis is to approach the issues of sense of belonging and identity in a colonial context with a close reading of the two works, to find out what the texts say for themselves regarding the effect of family and society, environment, and race as depicted in The Grass Is Singing and My Place. The theoretical background that is most relevant to this study is post-colonial literary theory, although here it is taken as secondary to the close reading that is the thesis&rsquo
s primary approach to these works. Keywords: Doris Lessing The Grass Is Singing, Sally Morgan My Place, Colonial and Post-colonial Literature

Lessing puts two epigraphs to her first novel, the Grass Is Singing. One is an excerpt from the fifth section, "What the Thunder Said," in T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, from which the title of this novel is taken. The other epigraph is from an unknown author, which goes, "It is by the failures and misfits of a civilization that one can best judge its weaknesses." My thesis is based on these two epigraphs, and also tries to connect Lessing's novel with Marx's comment on capitalism, his theory of alienation, and the Marxist-Feminist articulation of women's oppression under capitalist patriarchy. Judging from these two epigraphs, the message Lessing tries to convey in her first novel becomes self-evident. That is, she intends to portray the society she creates for Southern Rhodesia as a reflector of Eliot's wasteland, to describe it as "patriarchal capitalist white supremacist," and then to present the protagonists as failures and misfits of society. In this way, she can judge the civilization dominated by capitalism. This judgement of capitalist society is based on her commitment to communism at that time. From 1942 to 1948, she was active in a Marxist group in Southern Rhodesia, and while she started writing her first novel, she was still devoted to communist ideas. In an interview she said she believed that through communism people can achieve a utopian world where there is no emphasis on color, class or creed, and everyone has a chance and the right to develop himself. With this hope, Lessing first lays bare how capitalism distorts humanity, and then analyzes its failures and misfits. Therefore, The Grass Is Singing serves as her accusation of capitalism as well as colonialism and patriarchism. In this novel, she delineates capitalist social phenomena, and explores how capitalist ideologies penetrate into white protagonists' minds, how native laborers are exploited under racism and capitalism, and how women suffer from the oppression of capitalist patriarchy. In this way, the devastating impact of capitalism becomes conspicuous.
