Kevin Ung Professor Vazquez English 101 October 9, 2007 Music Censorship I enjoy and love music very much. I feel that music artists should have the right to freely express their work and I feel that I should argue about the censorship attacks on these artists. I’m tired of listening to a good song on the radio with some of the words censored. It ruins the song and I can’t stand it. Some people think that rap is a bad influence and causes the young to behave badly. But I think all this censoring
Music defines people. Our generation uses music as a tool to get them through everyday life. Many students listen to music anytime they have a free moment. Sometimes this also means that they listen to music while doing schoolwork. My partner and I performed a study to find out if different genres of music affect 8th grade student's math accuracy. We tested three genres of music. The tested genres were rap, rock, and country. We thought that if we had 8th grade students listen to rock, rap, and country
What kind of music do you like? Is it rock, country, rap, pop, or something else. We all have some sort of preference that we like, and we can thank our brain for that. With this paper I will tell you how our brain reacts to music and how it affects us. Different people like different types of music. There are also many sub genres that are grouped into the major ones. One example is metal, it is a subgenre of rock. For my personal preference, I like most types of rock. My favorite is probably
the genre of the music affect the mood of the person(s) listening to it (New York, New York - Frank Sinatra, You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance, and The Hills - The Weeknd)? I chose this experiment because everyone (or just my family) says rock makes you demonic, pop makes you happy, etc. and I knew that’s not the case. So, I decided to test it on an eighteen year old that happens to be my sister. My independent variable is the genre of the music that she listens

Baroque music started around the 1600s and reflected the theatrical art and music which was popular at the time. During the Baroque era, music was shaped by the magnificent paintings, sculptures, and Catholic Church. Four hundred years later, music still shares some similarities like instrumentation, harmony, and dynamics, while being incorporated into modern day music. Deep Purple was a rock band formed in 1968 who experimented with, and incorporated the Baroque style into their music. However,
Music has always affected the society in which the notes are played. Times of class contained dignified pieces pleasing to the ear while times of upheaval produced performers with a bit of an edge. The arrival of rock and roll in the 1950s, at a time often deemed as a decade of concerns, does not fit the long thought pattern. This class will delve into the arrival of rock and roll and the decade that did not know what to do with the new sound. This class will detail the effects of rock ‘n’ roll on
development of rock & roll. A great analogy that I came across while doing some reading and research for this paper was “If Elvis Presley cracked open the door for rock & roll, Chuck Berry kicked it wide open” (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame). I believe that this is a great way to visualize how great of an influence Elvis Presley was and just how great Chuck Berry was on rock and roll in comparison to him. To me think about that is just mind-blowing. I truly believe after working on this paper that Chuck
