Every spring, students and professors of the Glendale College, as well as members of the local community, have a chance to enjoy annual concerts performed by the Glendale College Community Orchestra (Glendale.edu, n.d.). On May 22, the Orchestra performed in a huge concert, which took place at the Mainstage Auditorium. Bethany Pflueger was the conductor of the Glendale College Community Orchestra, and, probably, this was the key thing why the performance was so successful. This concert featured Glendale College Concert Singers, and it was also led by Chris Rios and Chris Coulter as musical directors. The Glendale College Community ...

Rock and roll began to emerge shortly after the Second World War somewhere in the mashup of cultures and peoples that comprise the American South. It is a hybrid form whose mixed heritage is marked by poor blacks singing Delta blues, hillbilly descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants, working-class factory heroes, Christian country folk, and urban teens crooning a cappella on street corners. Its journey of 70 or so years has taken it from the margins of society to the center of today’s multi-billion dollar global music industry. Its course can be charted by examining a select handful of the ...

1. There are four essential components of a physical exam: inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. These parts of the physical exam should take place regardless of what organ system are being evaluated. Inspection involves looking at the patient and diagnosing any non-normal physical findings. A good example of this is bruising seen on the abdomen during an abdominal exam. The next part of the examination is palpation. Here the physician will feel for any abnormal findings, such as masses or abscesses. Following palpation is percussion. During this step, the physician uses their hands to produce a sound and can ...

Arturo Sandoval is an outstanding musician who had to overcome a lot of difficulties in order to be able to do the job he was born to – playing the jazz music. Life of Sandoval recalls a musical history book that describes two disparate worlds. For the people who were raised up in the States, it may be hard to imagine what obstacles Arturo Sandoval was faced with to become a jazz musician. He is a great son of Cuba, and this country should be proud of him, but when Sandoval was at the beginning of his career, the government ...

Rock and roll is one of the most important genres in the history of modern music. The signature guitar styles, drum rhythms, and powerful electric sound allowed this genre to singlehandedly change the way that music was created, presented, and performed. Rock and roll techniques and styles are present in almost every single genre on the radio today, and the traditional rhythms helped to form the basis for other styles of music. Bo Diddley was a rock and blues legend who was so intriguing that he spent over 60 years on the road playing his songs. Born in Mississippi, ...

Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 science fiction film Under the Skin is a supremely stylized, innately profound work that utilizes kaleidoscopic visuals and an unsettling performance from Scarlett Johannson to explore issues of the male gaze and take them to their furthest conclusion. Telling the story of an alien (Johansson) who comes to Earth and entices men with sex for her own twisted, mysterious purposes, Under the Skin charts the progression of a woman’s experience by simultaneously giving her a power and a predatory agency that women are not typically afforded, then stripping that agency away bit by bit ...
