Unstructured interviews allow the interviewer to build rapport with the pupils, unlike questionnaires where there is no chance to build rapport because the researcher has limited contact with the pupils. This will help the interviewer to gain more valid results when interviewing children from different subcultures. This is because the pupils will be more likely to give truthful answers when they trust the interviewer. This is especially important when interviewing pupils from anti-school subcultures, as they usually come from working class backgrounds and may be less willing to speak to the interviewer. This was shown in William Labov’s study of the language of black American pupils.
In the 30s, as Les Paul was moving up as a professional musician and playing with bigger and better bands, he had an idea. His idea was to build a guitar with pick-ups in order to amplify his instruments appropriately. He tried many ways to do so. His situation was comparable to Thomas Edison’s invention of the lightbulb, in that he tried so many different ways of amplifying this guitar without it sounding like complete rubbish. In 1941, after some success, he came out with “The Log”.
These are friendships that I may expect to maintain for a lifetime. I have talked a lot about what music education means to me, but there is proof that being musically inclined can help academic performance. As an example, since I have been in high school, either the valedictorian or the salutatorian has been involved in a music program. And if you look at the list of students who have been in the top 10% of their classes, you’ll find most have been involved in one music program or another. Music education isn’t just for friendships and relationships.
METHOD Subjects The subjects were 36 boys and 36 girls enrolled in the Stanford University Nursery' School. They ranged in age from 37 to 69 months, with a mean age of 52 months. Two adults, a male and a female, served in the role of model, and one female experimenter conducted the study for all 72 children.

Music aside, Foxx who was so talented in telling jokes that his teacher at the second grade used him as a reward, had built his career up only by becoming a stand up comedian. He got his first onstage performance in 1989 when a girl friend of his challenged him to do so. And so Foxx went to the Comedy Club and took an 'androgynous' name because he learned that women got preference for mike time on open stage nights.

(Christenson, 1992) The study measured the reactions of 145 middle-school students, ages 11–15. The students were randomly assigned to two groups, one in which the album cover of the music they were asked to judge had a parental advisory label, and a control group in which students heard and judged the same music that did not have the advisory label. The students were then asked to indicate on a five-point scale how much they liked the music and how much they would like to own the recording. The results showed that labeled music was liked less and desired less than unlabeled music. (Christenson, 1992) Public Opinion on Sound Recording Labels A national survey of 800 parents of children ages 2–17, conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, asked whether parents “ever” used the parental advisory system for sound recordings to help guide their families’ choices.

At Stagecoach, the performing arts school franchise, student numbers leapt from 12,000 in 1999 to 36,000 today” (Brockes). Based on these statistics it is safe to say that there is a heavy desire for fame in present time. One concrete psychological reason behind why there is such a desire for fame, however, is something that is not safe to say just yet. “In recent years, a small number of social scientists have begun to study and think about fame in a different way, ranking it with other goals, measuring its psychological effects, and characterizing its devoted seekers” (Carey). Belongingness, rankism, and abandonment are among those studies being paired with modern day desires for fame.
