The Essay is in response to the following: “You’re asked in this assignment to zoom into a particular moment from your life. What moments stand out to you when it comes to how music has figured in? Can you recall any family, cultural, or social events related to music that you found enlightening, encouraging, awkward, challenging, or unjust? A key musical moment when positive or negative emotions soared, were you struggled or triumphed? A song, album, or artist that serves as a memory of a place, activity, or person connected to your development? The moment you write about forms the basis of your literacy narrative, so it should be a subject matter that you are comfortable sharing. Just as important are the reflections you include in your narrative or cover letter to help readers make sense of the moment’s significance and implications. You’ll also want to carefully consider your tone and language choices. The delivery of your written and spoken narratives should be personalized as you see fit. You’re welcome to draw on your “native,” “home,” or “other” languages, literacies, and ways of being as you so choose.”
