Unit 4 Assignment

What music do you associate with childhood? How did/does this music make you feel? How do your choices reflect your childhood experiences?
The music that I associate with childhood would be many different songs like the Alphabet song, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Old McDonald, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and This Old Man. When I hear any of these songs I have to smile. They remind me of when I was younger and also of when my own children were young too.
When I got older I remember listening to bands like Air Supply, Aerosmith, Journey, Chicago,(Chicago was a band that was listened to and still is)

I loved all of it! I would listen to any of the “Big Hair” bands like Poison, Def Leopard, Kiss, Winger, White Snake; I could go on and on! I also liked to listen to pop too. I went through a phase where I loved Duran Duran, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and different artists like them. To this day I can still sing along with any of these bands and it will take me back to my carefree days of hanging with friends or being in high school. Certain songs will actually remind me of things I was doing at the time when I first heard the song! Yes, I also went through a rebellious stage too. There was a time when I thought that listening to bands like Two Live Crew was so cool! Now I wouldn’t let me kids listen to it!! I think that the type of music that I listened to was because I enjoyed listening to it at the time not because I was worried about fitting in. I have always been the type of person that music plays a huge factor in my life. I listen to music more then I watch T.V. I always have the radio on whether I’m at home or in the car. (I told my kids that I need an I Pod for my birthday). I have tons of tapes and co’s that I would love to have put onto an IPod so that I could listen to them at

    Growing up there was always music in our house, I was raised next to a record player and my mother always taught me to appreciate all genres of music. When I was nine years old my friends were all gushing over Hannah Montana while I was listening to The Beatles’ One album, and when I was four my favorite song was “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head”. I can remember being in my mom’s office while she worked away at her desk and begging her to “Play the raindrops song!” She would always give in and change it from the local classic rock station to the 1969 traditional pop song “Raindrops Keep Fallin’…

    To start off, I have listened to numerous types of music throughout my life. I started off listening to hip-hop and rap music. I believe that my sister influenced this.

    A lot of the invasion stayed in that generation, many bands and songs that were big then are all but totally forgotten about now. Bands such as the Searchers, the Swinging Blue Jeans, and Gerry and the Pacemakers all had one or two great hits which stayed in that time. This however, was part of the beauty of it all. Some of the music stayed with us thirty years later, and that's great, it gives us a good sampling of the time. On the other hand, you have the music that was meant for the era, and not for future generations. That is part of the uniqueness of it all, and Lester Bangs says it best when he tells how it doesn't matter that the music isn't listened to anymore, that's not what it was for. It was for the time, it was a "timepiece".…

    Those were the days of real music. People would invest time to find the most obscure, crazy, indie rock band, Tower Records, Haffa's were some be-there-or-be-nowhere record stores where new and unusual albums would find their way into peoples small time lives. Peoples ganja and patchouli-hazed sensibilities were christened in those foggy years. This was when rock was driven by a guitar master or two, a healthy bass, whacked out synth and a drumbeat that would alter your pulse. You know the saying, if you remember the sixties and seventies, chances are, you weren't there.…

    What do you feel when you hear a rapid drum beat? Or even the shivering sound of the low hum of a bagpipe? We all probably at one time turned on music to lift our spirits from a sad time in our life or even just to amp up our attitude even farther from a joyous occasion. What is it in music that causes different emotions to come out and affect our attitude? Well that’s a question that is still being researched but we have somewhat of a understanding of it. Then we’ll take a look at three specific genres. Rock, folklore, and classical.…

    It can be appreciated by all cultures and ages. As infants and toddlers, we were sung lullabies while being put to sleep. Music is a universal language. It can be used to celebrate or ease pain. While a slow steady piano melody can be deemed soothing, at the same time screaming to fast power chords can drown out ordinary daily stressors. There is a favorite genre for everybody’s niche: country, dubstep, rock, rap, pop, classical.…

    Following the counterculture of the 60s, the 70screated a trend of relaxing music as well as dance music. If ever a musical style defined a decade, Disco was the definition of the 1970s. Although its popularity was relatively short-lived, the genre hosted a great deal of songs and artists that people are still dancing to today and had a large influence on the fashions of the decade, too.This style of music became so popular that well respected artists like Rod Stewart and Diana Ross jumped on the bandwagon by adding Disco elements to their new music or creating their own disco albums. Unfortunately, it did not take long for the public to see disco's silliness and commercialization - something that they had just rebelled against a few years earlier. Youths rebelled against the genre as well and it was not uncommon to see a few music fans sporting "Disco Sucks" T-shirts.…

    A Perfect Relationship

    I was over at a friend's house. We both played guitar, but nothing else. I had never thought of being in a band. It always seemed too out of reach, too glamorous. Until that day. My friend's brother had a drumset, the really cheap kind that you buy for a six-year-old at Toys-R-Us. But it worked for me. I remember pounding out the visceral beat on the kickdrum. It was the heartbeat of the music. Thump thump thump thump 1-2-3-4. We played songs by the White Stripes. The music we played was so raw, so bare. It was two kids divining their path in life. Playing mediocre versions of simple songs in a suburban bedroom was the most mindblowing experience I have ever had. From that day on I lived an entirely different life. Music was no longer only a friend introduced to me by others. Music became a friend…

    Children music is the most useful in my opinion. Through the songs, it teaches the children different things such as the alphabets and numbers. With the music, the children are able to remember the alphabets and numbers better. Music is also used for special occasions such as wedding ceremonies and funerals. In wedding ceremonies, the music played is jovial and gay. However, in funerals, the music is sorrowful. It creates an atmosphere in the function.…
