Reflection Unit 4 (Music)

Reflection Unit 4, Music

This unit was the last unit of this course in this semester that I enjoyed it like the other units. Like the other units I learned a lot about this season such as the variation genres and the roots of some genres such as Blues and rock and roll. My Aha momentin this unit was when I learned about the variation of genres of music. I could not believe that music has a lot of genres such as EDM, Meme, and house. It was the first time that I heard about this genre and I do not why I did not know about them. In presentation day, when my classmate presented about their genre and played a song about it. I figured out I did not research enough about music. I did not knowabout the root of rock and roll until I presented about it. When I was researching about it, I learned how it is important the music of African Americans and how much their music has affected the other genres of music in America. The articles I read about music helped to earn a view about the popular music during 50 years in America and knowing about the root of music especially the Blues article. My bumper sticker is:For knowing music you need to learn about its roots.In my opinion, knowing the root of music can help us to earn an understanding about music. 

Special Event (House of Blues)

Alba and I decided to go to the House of the Blues. First we thought Blues genre is boring but it was not. We really enjoy it. We danced with song and ate delicious foods. When I came out from there I had a good feeling and I think I like try it again. Now I am fan of Blues genre.

A Song That Touch Me Emotionally

There are a lot of songs that touch me emotionally. One of these songs is “Hotel California” from Eagles. This song reminds me the great days when I was in high school. one of my friends gave me the CD of this song and when I listened to it, I fell in love with it especially when I read the lyrics and found the words hardly because I had never heard such a song like this. Indeed, the song start with a romantic words and space and at the end finish with a scary space! This song touched me emotionally so much because my friends and I used to sing it most the time when we were together. I love those days that I had great friends, I had great times with my friends, my lovely nephew was kid and so cute, all of my family members were in one city, I was hopeful to future, and I had no stress about future. Also, when I listen to this song now, I miss my dear friends a lot. The interesting point is they have a same feeling with me about this song. My friends and I stayed good friends for years, but now every one of us are in a different part of the world and we could not see each other for 3-4 years. I like once again we gather and have fun.
