Healing America Begins with You: Bridging Cultural Gaps - Composer Sabrina Pena Young

A way we can help heal our society:

Take the time to make at least three meaningful relationships with individuals of other cultures. The type of relationship where you go to each other's houses for meals, call when you have a rough day, have playdates and go camping together.

When your idea of a cultural group is based on a relationship and not movies, TV, the #news, or Twitter, you will avoid falling into the trap of lumping individuals together into stereotypes. You will be able to recognize the nuances and individualism that makes each person unique and responsible for themselves, not an entire people group.

BREAKING CULTURAL STEREOTYPES

I have had my own cultural stereotypes broken by moving around the country, being involved in communities that I would have never been a part of. I am wiser for it. I have more empathy because of it.

LEARNING TO LISTEN

Next time, when you hear someone making a comment about a particular people group, ask your close friend of that group what THEY think about the comment. And LISTEN. And if you only base your opinion on that group on what a news station or Twitter says because you have no close authentic relationships with people in that group, then it may be time to broaden your social circle.

Don't worry if this feels uncomfortable at first. Many of us live as the "other" in our own hometowns. It's okay. You will survive. Blessings. Feel free to share. We have to start the healing somewhere. And it can start with you.

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date - Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work. Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) . Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action. Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic sto...
