I spent the first ten years of my life, roughly, homeschooled and constantly around both my parents. During this time, I had no choice but to listen to whatever music they enjoyed playing drying the day, whether it was Seal in the car or Melissa Etheridge on the home stereo. Once I had struck my preteens, and with the help of my then high-school aged sisters, I was introduced to punk rock and hard rock genres of music. This became a new addiction for me; it felt rebellious, cool, in style and new. Eventually, it felt very repetitive and it seemed as if everyone was trying to emulate the same sound. So, after a short time, I began searching for music on my own. I bought Coldplay and Vampire Weekend albums, and was on the lookout for music with a more sophisticated feeling than what I had been listening to previously. I was then hopelessly addicted to music that I was discovering, and was proud to say I found my own style of music to listen to. After I received Coldplay’s album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head” as a Christmas gift, I would play it daily to

Electronic music is in most of the music that we hear today, and it’s good. We hear it in cafes, restaurants, clubs and even elevators. It’s all over us and it surrounds us even if we don’t realize it.

For as long as mankind has walked on this earth, music has been an important part of our culture and lifestyles. Each walk of life beats to a different drum. Different cultures use music for many aspects of their lives; for religious purposes, for celebrations, for comfort, for sorrow, for relaxation, for sports, for dances, for energy, for learning, for sleeping, and for sexual experiences. Everyone uses music for something. Music connects with people and reaches them in ways that words simply cannot. Music is a representation of what feelings sound like. It expresses emotion and brings that characteristic out from within us; it tells us a story. Every generation has its’ own sound and different music styles have emerged and become

From the day we’re in our mother's stomachs, to the day we die, we have always been listening to music. For me, listening to music all my life helped me develop a passion for it. When I was around the age of 6 my dad introduced me into the world of Rock. The very first band I remember listening to was System of a Down and ever since then, I fell in love with rock music and all its possible variations; for a long time this was all I listened to. It wasn’t until high school that I started listening to all sorts of genres and realized that I wanted to have a career in the music industry. That's when I learned about producing music.

Ever since I was a small child, I have loved music. The strong, steady beats, the

College is what everyone goes after High School it isn’t a choice anymore to succeed in this world you need to go to college. Going to a two year college versus a four

The music I listen to is rap mostly tupac. I started listening to him in 2015 I have a while and I never get bored of him. Another rapper I listen to is YG. I also never get bored of his songs. I listen to them everyday even when I am working. If I am home I put pandora on the tv and just put full volume and I just sit back and relax. Music makes me want to do things and relax. It doesn´t take my mind off of anything I still listen to the teachers. I understand what they say and respect them. Music has been around for a very long time and rap it has changed a lot. Tupac talks about life his life, reality. When he was at a studio doing a song people asked him, Pac what do you think or how do you think future rappers are gonna be and he told

When everyone hears the name York College, they look at me like I’m Medusa. They become stoned and mute making me feel as if I made the wrong decision. York College, in many eyes, is “bad” or “you will never find a job if you got to York College”, or “York College is boring, nothing “big” ever happens”. Every day I would hear this cynical comments about my future college. To fight back with society’s beliefs I chose York and I’m going to prove to them that yes by going to York you can get a high standard job and learn the same knowledge you would learn in Baruch College. My major is accounting and after I earn my bachelor’s degree at York I plan to go to a graduate school to get my Master’s degree and become a CPA and CFE. After graduating

“I walk around with headphones in A hoodie on,I'm trying to blend in With all the other useless kids That's how I've always been” Even when i was in the womb i rocked out to the metal kings, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Slayer, anything you could think of. Now 15 years later my music is my life quite literally, its is the only thing that keeps me grounded, reduce stress and help me focus in school. It would be hard to guess that Twenty Øne Pilots, Troye Sivan, Neck Deep, State Champs and so many more artist help me do better in school.

Music has always been an interest of mine. The different genres of music of music, but how they are mixed throughout each other. A genre that caught my fancy growing up would be R&B/Soul. It was something about the nasal tone of Anita to the cries of Patti about how somebody is loved. The tones played over the radio as my mother cooked a soulfool dinner and danced around with me. Not just this genre though, it has went as far as rock, Nickelback to rapper Eminem.

EDM, known as electronic dance music, is a term that covers a wide range of different genres of music, all of which is created by using electronic instruments. There are numerous electronics instruments that are used to do so such as synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, turntable and more. The 1970s marked the beginning of modern dance music, the 1980s marked its commercial breakthrough, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that electronic music grew into the massive genre it is today. In the 2000’s EDM has become one of the biggest and most successful music genres. With new technology being made EDM has the potential to create an experience like no other and lead the

One thing that over the years I’ve become very good at is learning how to play many musical instruments. The different factors and components of this learning process include learning music theory, learning the basics of an instrument and how to apply different skills to various types of instruments such as string, brass, percussion and wind. Some of the instruments that I have learned are piano, organ, harpsichord, keyboard, guitar, bass, mandolin, trombone, cello, banjo, harmonica and soon the fiddle. Each of these different types of instruments required a different basic skill set.

Musical taste is subjective. Everyone has a different musical preference that depends on their age, where they live, where they are from, what mood they are in, and so on. For example, according to an interview with Freddy Matt who is a college student in New Jersey, “I listen to music, which is pop music, when I get bored, or when I want to be relaxed. Otherwise, usually I do not listen to music” (Matt). According to another interview with bar patron Tom Hunk, who is 35 years old, “I listen to music for fun. Friday and Saturday night, I do go to a bar in order to let myself go” (Hunk). These examples show that people listen to music with different purposes. On the other hand, people listen music when they do sports such as running, weight lifting, walking, playing tennis, etc. Even though they live in the same community, their perspective on music is different.

Everyday life is shaped by one force: music. Everyone listens to music every single day of their lives and, whether they realize it or not, it shapes their lives. Music affects people’s moods and interactions. People interested in different genres will also act differently because various genres have separate effects on people’s minds. Each genre has its own personality that it is generally related to, however not everyone who enjoys a specific genre is the stereotypical audience, such as a normally happy and quiet person listening to loud, angry metal music. This is because of the how unique one organ is in each and every person: the brain. Everyone’s brain works differently and reacts to any given situation in a different manner because of that. The brain takes all the information given to it by the senses, sight, tough, taste, hearing, and smell, and decides how the body needs to react to the stimuli. These reactions are sent out using the body’s nervous system, of which the brain is the center. Electrical impulses are sent through the body via small nerves called synapses. These small cells all have a receiver and a transmitter in order to get the message from the cell before it and share the message with the next cell. These cells in turn tell the cells in whatever body part they are in control of what to do or how to react to external stimuli, such as music. Music has been around since before man began recording history. The earliest forms of music included singing,

Technology and music have always had a connection; a marriage. As one progresses, the other
