My Most Positive Memories Of Music

During the 1900s, passion of composing music arose and encouraged many young teens to create garage bands and elder to perceive music as career. Famous musicians like Robert Johnson, Bill Monroe, and Elvis Presley were seeking the same. Although many were composing songs, most of them adapted their own versions from many which created a list of similarities and differences between them. Most commonly similar were themes or forms yet some differentiated in delivery style or instrumentation. Many artists got more creative and used similar instruments but give a twist into the sound play. This can be seen in the script or heard in the audio of the songs “Walkin’ Blues” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky” like many others.

Everyone has a certain song, or songs, that bring back a certain memory. From the second you hear that first beat your mind goes racing back to that time. With that song and memory you begin to be reminded of the feeling, setting, and mood from the time you are reminded of. It is crazy how all of that can come from a simple beat with lyrics. My song is, “The Spins” by Mac Miller. Every time I hear it I go back to a simple, yet memorable night with my boyfriend.

Now : Songs are created by synthesizers. Nobody can realistically take credit for their own songs because most songs are re-mixes or a collage of dubs from other people's  music.

“Musical is a universal experience. With few exceptions, all humans perceive musical pitch, tone, timbre, and harmony. We listen to music to relax, to help us think, to celebrate, and grieve. Our emotional responses to music have been noted in literature, poetry, and drama. The power of music to evoke an emotional response is used by advertising companies, film directors, and mothers singing their babies to sleep. Early education teachers are familiar with using music and rhythm as tools for learning language and building memory. (Foran, 2009) Several musical melodies are used in grade school to learn information. Music is used in my math classes across the world to enhance the learning process of formulas. English classes use music help children learn prepositional phrases, adjectives, adverbs, noun, and etc. However, after most scholars reached a certain grade level, using music to achieve new heights academically became a technique of the past. Most instructors didn’t bother using music in order to help retain information. It was almost as if it was forgotten about. But, if music is so important why isn’t it allowed in most classrooms today? Many teachers are not fond of music in the classroom. To many, it is seen as a distraction. Is it the type of music a person chooses to listen to? Would it be different if the music chosen by

Thinking back, there were many where I did just that. I would spend hours composing remix tapes and much thoughts

I can remember the moment when I decided that I would become a musician. I was at a summer music program that I didn’t really want to be at, sitting in a room that was filled with the scent of insulation. I was sitting on one of the many blue cushioned chairs in the room/. The instructors went around the hall, asking other children how old they were and what instrument they played. Everyone seemed to know each other already, chewing at the bit to be let on the stage to grab their preferred instrument and play the little music that they already knew with their friends. I felt left out, as I didn’t have an instrument that I could call my own. When the instructor finally got to me, he asked my age, name, and what I played, just like he had to

Music is a unique way of expressing one’s self, though ideas can become recycled and borrowed by other artists. These days, a particularly older person could hear a newly-released song and find the music to be familiar. An artist can simply borrow the music from an older song and then incorporate it into a new song of their own. Many artists and songwriters nowadays use this technique in their own music. Say an older person was to hear the smash hit “Shape of You” by songwriter and singer Ed Sheeran. They would hear a song that they once treasured from their days in the club. The song “No Scrubs” by a high-selling music trio of the 1990’s, called TLC, once wrote a song that contains that same music. This is a perfect representation of the idea of reused music.

This aim for this project was to create a remix or mashup of different songs of our choice. We were to create the project on programs like Audacity or GarageBand. The intended audience for this remix was anyone that is interested in music. There is no specific age limit to this project considering it was made to be appropriate for everyone when making it. The purpose of this project was to gather an understanding on using programs like Audacity and enhance our skills.

When I first picked up the saxophone, I could barely play a simple scale, without causing my instrument to whine and wail in protest. My attempts at music consisted of mistakes and errors. As I tried to coax out a harmonious melody, the saxophone/notes screeched in anger. My fingers felt too large and clumsy.

The first, which I have tentatively titled “Melody,” started with me humming a rhythmic piano part, then a melody line. Next, I developed the instrumental in GarageBand, with an electric guitar part as a placeholder for the vocals. I found some really cool techno/electronic effects, percussion parts, and bass parts, and utilized them in my project. I scribbled some rough lyric ideas, then brought them into class one day and implored Vanessa to help me finish the

Technology and music have a strong correlation and as technology has improved, so has music. Technology has allowed music to be expressed in so many unique ways and has also inspired people, like myself, to learn more about the evolution of music throughout the years. Therefore, for my final music project, I chose to do the creative option and decided to compose my own music through a music software called, Garage Band. It is a technological support that allows people to play around with pre-made loops, recordings and a variety of sounds from different musical instruments (Preve 11) . I was further inspired and motivated towards creating my own music after going through the readings from class and thought about how creating my own music using

However, modern technology has made it possible to package many of the features of large recording studios into small digital recording consoles, which amateur musicians can afford.  The price of one of these consoles, the Tascam Digital Portastudio 788, at Musiciansfriend.com, is $899.99 [1].  This console, although seemingly expensive, is much more cost-effective than paying for an entire studio, and can achieve nearly the same results.  The real benefit of a digital recording console, however, is the creative control it bestows upon musicians.  Instead of having a producer who dictates how the recording should sound, the musician becomes the producer, giving him complete control over all aspects of the composition.  Additionally, because of the cost of studio recording, a musician's time in the studio is usually limited.  However, with a personal digital recording console, one can freely experiment with new ideas without time constraints.  While this unmediated recording environment theoretically provides an artist with unlimited creative flexibility, it also allows for detrimental misuse in the form of non-original composition, which can negate the creative possibilities of this new artistic process.

I am sure you have those songs that when you hear them, it reminds you of some memory linked to its melody. This happens to everyone,including your children.This illustrates that music is easily absorbed by one’s brain (Lucas par. 1).Music increases one’s capability in memorizing information. This skill helps to write tests and exams confidently. Favourite songs stimulate our memory in many ways. “As claimed in a study from McMaster University in Canada, students who

“I hope that Amadeus likes music.” These were some of the first words that my mother said after giving birth to me. The few months before I was born were some of the most troubling times for my family. My mother battled against a legion named “breast cancer” without chemotherapy while she was pregnant. Consequently, my parents called me “Amadeus” not for its musical ties with Mozart, but because it meant “Gift of God.” Nonetheless, my mother hoped that I would develop a love for music, but in the imminent future, that was anything but the case.

    Marching band and band camp is a sport that brings memories of a lifetime. Three years of marching band have taught be so much in such little time.while to others they say marching band is not a sport unfortunately they were most likely  not in marching band.
