music

At the end of the day if its one thing most people look forward to is music. Music is another form of art, another way to express yourself and show your creativity. Yea we have all these professionals but there are allot of amateurs and plenty of people who like to sing in the shower or play an instrument. One thing we learned recently is that music brings people together. It may have been obvious by now but if you think about where and why it started to bring people together you'd be surprised. In our Humanities class we watched a documentary on jazz and the great depression. I'm sure music connected people before this but this time was truly a time where music was important. We were able to watch and witness how Jazz comforted people during this time. We said that it gave people hope and since it was free it became very popular not only that but it brought the best out of people. Luis Armstrong was a musical genius that transformed jazz and singing he really made it popular. When we heard one of his pieces I felt like tapping my foot or dancing my self, and I don't even dance. This is how you know how jazz is a great type of music . We said that Jazz opened the door to the black world for white people. It brought everyone together black and white, when you were out dancing and listening to jazz it didn't matter. This all led to the many types of music we have today. Along with bringing people together music also has created tension between people. Today we have people arguing about what type of music sounds bad or good. These arguments are still a form of bringing people together because now they are able to share opinions freely. The Internet is a great way to share your idea on music or even post a song that you've created. You can go on YouTube.com and watch a video of your favorite song and be able to read pages and pages of comments of people arguing or agreeing. Everyone wants to share their opinions especially on their favorite rapper or band. The point is that even today with all the different types of music (stemming from the Jazz times) it still brings us together.
