Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Analysis of Guido’s Methods: Solutions and Importance

Guido was born towards the end of the 10th century in Italy, and learnt in the Benedictine Abbey near Ferrara. As a music teacher, one of the problems he experienced with his students was the fact that they were unable to sing by themselves despite singing for many years since they had not mastered even a single antiphon, which was generally a waste of time. The solution for this as suggested by Guido would be not to provide antiphons that lacked neumes (Taruskin & Gibbs 2012, Pg. 212). Another problem faced was ...

Last summer my dream was about to come true: I was extremely eager to go to one European country – to Spain. I have never been there before, so I had a huge desire to travel to this sunny country since the time of my childhood. There is no exact explanation why I liked this country – I just adored it and that is it. Maybe the reason was its sparkling beaches or warmth of Mediterranean See, maybe it was ancient cities, like Barcelona or Madrid, full of professional matadors. Perhaps it also could be colorful carnivals with a great deal ...

One of the crucial objectives for the health care staff in Kenya is to improve the medical conditions in the rural area. The thing is that, compared to the developed countries, the number of rural health care workers in Kenya is extremely low.

In Australia, this number is 29, while in Kenya – only 1 (World Health Organization 91). Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number ...

The main belief that Bennett communicates is coordinated charity; she is opposed to uncoordinated charity work. She says that results in delay in the most efficient emergency responses from trained people such as the army, firefighters, and medical practitioners (Bennett). I am in agreement with the author’s claims. Moreover, I am impressed by the way she blatantly attacks the people that involve themselves with the emergency responses yet they have no training at all. The society needs such authors that illuminate the real issues facing different communities. Additionally, the fact that the author provides alternatives for people to ...

New business owners often find themselves facing issues they had not previously considered when starting a business. Many new owners have recognized the need for their product or service and have identified a market for it. They are prepared for that aspect; it is how they came to start their own business. Other aspects however, such as accounting, employee oversight, and taxes are areas where most people have little expertise without actively taking the time to learn about these issues, but where many of the struggles small business owners face are originated (Collamer, n.d.). There are several basic areas ...

However, by living an affluent life in a community dominated by the Caucasian community, Johnson’s wife and children tend to develop a blind eye towards their skin color. They believe that the fact that they are black has nothing to do with their identity. However, Johnson still sticks of the fact that there is a great difference. He compares the current black identity with the identity he had as a black boy. He realizes that there have been a lot of “imagined” changes that he feels that are not realistic (Cara). To him, a black will always be ...

The story of stuff, a video by Annie Leonard takes a fun and lively mood to elaborate on its primary conceptualization of the material economy. Leonard goes to great lengths to demonstrate the reality of how the industrial economy interacts with sustainability. The video touches on the global economy’s ignorance to sustainability and its compulsion to serve the growing middle class. The increase in the middle class raises consumption that in turn elicits demand for higher production. Essentially, this is the central theme of the video. The phrase “material economy” is not a formal term used in economic ...

Lane talks incessantly about his school work and assumes that Franny does not understand some of the words ...

Entry 1 For many times since I was in elementary, I always hear that there is the left side of the brain and the right side as well, and that the two sides make different contributions to the behaviour of people.

I thought that either the right side or the left side of the brain works, depending on what a person is doing. After the ...

The sun had already set when Dan reached the pub that spring evening. It was probably a bad idea to go anywhere near the place after that last AA-meeting, bu the didn’t care. It was Friday night and he desperately needed a drink. The phonecall he recieved earlier that day was still clinging to his mind, slowly turning into a blur by each bottle of beer that went through his throat, but one sentence refused to go away:

”I’m sorry, Dan, your mother passed away.”

Those words were still ringing in Dan’s ears when he woke up in my bed the next day, the ...

I am writing as the head of the survey department. Our department involves working in the field to collect geodetic information. In many cases, different crews are situated in different location.

There are a lot of myths that we tend to believe without even trying to discover whether they are true or not. Ben Ambridge tells us about 10 popular myths that exist in psychology that we think are absolutely right. To be honest, I was also surprised as it turned out that I actually also believed in some of them. For example, the popular one is that we just use 10% of our brain and if we used more we would be just geniuses (Ambridge, 2014). Of course, no one has proven this fact and it is just some ...

The history of capitalism is a fascinating thing to explore from a sociological perspective, and many social theorists have attempted to investigate both its origins and its eventual outcomes. Sociologists Max Weber and Karl Marx have their own respective ideas about the nature and history of capitalism, both of which are somewhat different in theory. For Max Weber, capitalism largely came about due to the religious pressure of Puritan principles such as hard work and professionalism on its citizens, which allowed societies to take advantage of that willing work ethic to maximize productivity and profit. Karl Marx, however, sees ...

Historically, women have been educated to develop opposite characteristics to men, and occupy contrasting roles. Thus, women have been constructed as passive while men have been perceived as active. This is because men went to war, performed public functions or courted women, while women waited at home for men to return, they were rescued or abused, gazed upon, or conquered. Today, women continue to occupy the same positions in the society. Katha Pollitt argues that “the paradox is that the world of rigid and hierarchal sex roles evoked by determinist theories is already passing away”, (382). Sports advertisements could ...

Fairytales are much often made of stuff related to fantasies and fancies. Fantasies of a child and possibly that of a child who never grows up continues to exist in an adult body in the form of imaginative figments. Such imagination is so lucid that it translates almost to reality, maybe the surreal and the virtual reality. Princess Bride is also a story of fantasies that have occasionally gone wrong, but again, the imagination is so fertile that it is apparently very close to the reality. The main character Billy believes in certain amount of reality behind wild imaginations. ...

When we talk about feminine and masculine, look around you and evidence of its pervasiveness is all over. One of the many evidences is during one of our discussions in my Women and Gender Studies class. Our instructor broke us into two groups separating women and men.

This exercise alone gives us a hint that the two rigid gender categories namely the feminine and the masculine are already part of our ...

Similarly, a kitchen with everything at the right place signals a well-disciplined person. Therefore, organizing a kitchen carries great importance. First of all, in order to organize a kitchen, one needs to ...
