- I have gained the knowledge of pointing out the six basic elements of music, learning what they are and applying when listening to music in my car. Being able to recognize the harmony and timbre without even realizing it.
I did not know any history from any other music genre besides hip hop and R&B. This course has opened up my ears and mind when listening to music. My favorite composer that I have written about in this course is Nadia Boulanger. I think she was a brilliant composer and an even more brilliant teacher. She taught many students, which some are still alive today. She had an influence on music culture that is greatly appreciated. She used her sister’s death and turned it into passion. Music is beneficial in every way of life, music is therapeutic to me. The type of music I listen to reflects my mood. Music has always been a part of me since playing the saxophone in my middle school band. Music serves as mu happy place, as a way from me to sit back and listen to the words and the meaning behind each lyric. My perception has changed knowing that there is more music to listen to than just hip hop and R&B. knowing that each genre has its own origin and how music from more than hundreds of years ago, plays a part in the music I listen to now.
