Music: Music Analysis

Drawing takes coordination between your hands, eyes, and brain. Drawing strengthens your fine motor skills. According to Wells, The more you practice drawing, the better your hand, eyes, and brain can harmonize together. Your hands become an instrument to help you record the world around you.

“For many children, interest in a particular art form leads to sustained attention when practicing that art form. Moreover, engaging in art often involves resolving conflicts among competing possible responses, such as when choosing the correct note to

The very first thing about designing the experiment is to clearly identify the problem or question of interest. In this specific situation, the issue is whether the use of multimedia materials when

Berthold Auerbach once said, “Music washes away, from the soul, the dust of everyday life”. No one really knows when music first appeared in this world, but we do know that music has been among us for a very long time. Some define music as a bunch of notes put together to make a song, but I say it is so much more than that. Music is a way to tell stories, share emotions, a way to bring people together. It is part of who we are as people. It is in our culture, our religion, and it defines us. It helps us remember the many wonderful memories from our past and helps us imagine an amazing future. So you see, it is important to make music a part of your life.

LP1, FKA twigs’ 2014 album, was one of the most mind-boggling débuts in recent memory, with a unique sound marrying unsettling and gorgeous. Since then, Tahliah Barnett found ways to remain in the spotlight with various music videos, TV appearances and the release of an EP last summer.

I was not the best at first. Back in the fourth grade, I constantly drew Tuscan Villas and the Titanic, a symptom of my Aspergers. But like all of my obsessions, I found something better. Now in the first days of my Freshman year, I switched from a Study hall to Art I. My father was an artist in his youth, and he gave me some of his old sets and papers so I could “get ahead of the class.” Some of my first pieces were messy

Well some people wonder, which type of music can help you do your work. Well that is my science fair topic except. Except that I used two different types of music. Rock and classical

We experience time with the art of music. Music has the ability to express how we experience time in our lives. Time is an element that holds music together, such as the meters and notes of the piece. In the first example of a Duple Meter, the song Hallelujah, the choir began strong however emphasized the beginning and end of the word “Hallelujah.” The beats were stressed as they were split into two, the director also showed a dramatic high note change. The song was also repetitive as for the notes mostly, first the beats start out softer and gradually get louder. I also noticed that the violins and the trumpets grew louder as the vocalists emphasized their sudden dynamic. As for the second piece, directed by Bach, I was provided with a visual to see how the instruments maintained their beats and they seemed much more rapid. You can hear the beats as they sang, this piece was considered a Triple Meter. A Triple Meter is split into three beats, which you can count out if you listened carefully. There was also a great amount of crescendo throughout the song, and often times the song would seem wave like. The piano and the violin in this piece used a lot of forte or also grew louder in the song. Both of these

For many years children scribble. They scribble on walls, on paper, and even on furniture! As a child, I was different. My drawings actually look like something, ssimply because of the fact that I took art seriously and found it fun to create what I wanted with a stick stuffed with a rock inside it. Though I did try, my drawings still seemed semi-scribble like. I don’t know what come over me, but one day it was rather gloomy outside, and was a three foot tall sheet of snow draped over my complex. I was bored, and because I got cold really quickly back then I wasn’t allowed to go outside. So I decided to draw something. I didn’t know what to draw, but I my gut was telling me draw something with true effort, and not a bunch of scribbles that looked like a dog’s barf that a person had barfed on.

Sideshow does not only represent the disability of conjoined twins, this musical represents many other tropes. For example, in the cast of freaks there is a half man-half woman. This half man-half woman if shown today can cause many controversial issues because of the ongoing support and struggle for acceptance. To add, there is also an obese lady who is represented as a “freak” because of her size. With the body positivity movement I see representation as offensive and I’m sure many others can agree. It’s extremely inappropriate to put someone in a fat suit and showcase an obese person when they don't know how it feels or why they are obese because sometimes it’s a medical and genetic problem. Many tropes are used in popular culture, and in

In my experience "contemporary" has taken on the meaning of "pop" music, or what is being played on the radio. I, however, have not listened to a radio in upwards of ten years. In loosening the true definition of "contemporary" artists, the modern music I listen to varies a lot. I listen to Japanese and French artists, heavier bands, southern rock, 1990's pop music, grunge and alternative, pop-punk, acoustics, classical, oldies. Lately I have been getting into spoken word bands. In my current state, the three bands I have been most listening to are Taking Back Sunday, Hotel Books, and Movements.

When you hear the word rhythm, you probably instantly think of a pattern or beat. While you are not wrong, the real definition of rhythm is an orderly flow of music through time. When the composer chooses to play with the rhythm of a song, he is effecting the audiences interest in the music. For example, if a song didn't hold a somewhat steady beat through its entirety, the listener will become thrown off and confused. This will cause the loss of focus on the music piece and more attention to go to why the composer chose to do that. Another important piece of rhythm is tempo. Tempo is the speed of which the beats occur in music. A slow tempo (Largo) may calm a listener, while a fast tempo (presto) will give a very different effect on the listener. This is all

As I walked up to class I noticed that they were an object place at every group. The give task was to observe the toys using your five senses to figure out the function of it and what cause it to function as its does. As a group we had to move to the different station counter clockwise. Out of the five toys that the professor presents to us the two that appeal to me the most were the Balancing Bird and the Drinking Bird.

I would use music entrainment as my receptive method with this client. Because she is 10 years old, music relaxation with instruction from the therapist is a good option. I would start the entrainment process by matching her heart beat with the tempo of the music. I then would slow down the tempo of the music while instructing the client to match my tempo with her breathing. This will slow down her heart rate, in turn, reducing her anxiety. With this exercise I would use a digital music app that has the ability to adjust tempo continuously while still playing music such as Sonosync.

Moreover, I have learned what my music instructors never emphasized. I never really understood what the difference between a melody and a harmony was until I was forced to read about it. I also did not understand the importance that the rhythm posed in music. It did not occur to me that rhythm could change the whole meaning of a piece of music even if melody and harmony were left unchanged. Music for me was always, play it this way because that’s how the sheet tells you to play it. Additionally, learning how to analyze music has allowed me to learn about the music that I listen to on a daily basis. I am able to listen to a song and understand how the elements of the song influences the way I interpret the song and the emotion that the artist wished to convey.
