and 2013” you speak of the difference in music in the year of 1963 and how it was gleeful and uplifting and still is but you believe the music of this generation is so discrediting and malign. In my opinion, I agree this music can be extremely offensive to many people and it is saddening that we have to come to a time in the world when it’s a daily normality to hear the word “nigga” in a song or to hear women referred to as “bitches” and “hoes”. The music we hear today should be changing the way…

Aaron Copland book, What to Listen for in Music, seems helpful to me because it explained music, and where music comes from through the eyes of the composer. His essay creates the foundation for an scientifical musical appreciation, beginning with basics as harmony, melodies , and pattern. It also has implicitly caused me to start asking some questions when I'm listening to a piece of music.

In Sheela Doraiswamy’s article “Does Music Help You Study”, She explains that “The researchers at the…
