Stephanie Griffin Ms. Maness ENG 111.0021 04 September 2017 R&B Memories Why do we listen to music? There are many different types of music that is listened to based off how we’re feeling at the time or what is liked.

You can listen to slow R&B for romantic reasons, special occasions, because of the calmness and just maybe because it’s your favorite type of music. “Don’t Change” by Musiq Soulchild gives hope in love and marriage and reminds people of what it is like to have someone that loves you unconditionally.…

Music can have a very optimistic effect on people when they are in an uncomfortable or tough situation. Although it can have the opposite effect, if a person picks the right music to fit his or her mood it can help. That is how music can chase optimism in the face of a…
When you go to see a musical, you expect all your going to see is just something for your entertainment. Which is true, but there are some musicals thought to have changed the way society sees things. Is it possible these musicals influenced the minds of their audiences? Or did the musicals just make them aware of certain situations happening around that time. I believe that the musicals did influence society and brought awareness to the important themes they were trying to portray.…

Music is not music without reading and writing. I am not speaking of reading and writing English, rather I am speaking of reading and writing musical notation. The real importance of reading and writing in the context of music has to do with actually learning the language that is music. This might mean learning how notes relate to a staff, or possibly how an audio clip fits best in your garageband composition, or maybe even how a 7th chord can put a whole new twist on a Sara Bareilles song (if you do not recognize the name, do yourself a favor and youtube her...

I believe, as a teacher, that all students should have the opportunity to explore and develop themselves as musicians. This could happen through formal teacher instruction. Music being taught in schools can help two ways. It can create an appreciation for music and help the students form their own type of music which they identify with. The students musical identity can be developed through processes such as performance and academic study.…
While music and language are both processed by the auditory cortex, language generally considered to be lateralized to the left hemisphere, and properties of music to the right. However, some features of sound are common to perception of both music and language. These common features include pitch, timbre, and hierarchical structure.
