Week 5

Week 5
May 9-12
Question: How did my singing assessment go?
In my opinion, i fared a better chance if i were to practice a bit more. Through the practicing, one could gain knowledge of one's own faults.This would then help one to improve and reach new heights. If i were to practice more, i bet i would do better than what i did with my group members.


Week 4 guitar

Today, I practiced the melody of Autumn Leaves again. This time I'm feeling good that I could finish the song with few mistakes as possible. Though I'm still far from perfecting it, I should practice harder.

April 30th- May 2
Reflection question: How does business and industries affect the music maker and users
The aim of an industry would be to gain profit and more profit, hence they needed to find a way to gain that amount of profit. The way they usually do is to find an artist and remodel their music in order to please or hope to please the fans and listeners. As the internet advances, listeners tend to want to save money, they then used the internet to find uploaded songs in the internet and download them. This makes industry's worst enemy; Piracy, but to us listeners, we find it whimsical and exciting to have free music. Thus, industries then tried to band and support acts against piracy, this would later annoy the listeners. The artists are also affected by the industry as when they edit the artist's music they may make changes to what the artist like. All in all listeners, artists and industries depend on each other for pleasure and money.

Week 3
Guitar post
What we did in the guitar class was sing the assigned song; "Close to you" by the carpneters. We did oke but we could have done better. At home i decided to practice the song by myself. It is a shame i couldnt video the group singing. I will try to record it with the whole group members.
Week 3

Question:How have developments in technology changed the ways in which we engage in music?
As the generation changes so does music, this is mostly because of technology. Before this generation, people have used several types of ways to recored and listen to music. In the old days, people used a machine named the round topped jukebox. a little ways down the road, people started making the big juke box, not later after that they made cd players. The cd players then evolved into smaller more compatible objects like the ipod or ipod nano. With these changes in technology, the people of this generation is able to listen to music anywhere and anytime they want only if there is sufficient battery left in the machine, this technology revolutionize the music industry.
