Music appreciation
is what #AnimateExpressions are really about.
We listen to music
for lots of reasons. Word on the street is, even when a new music gets you
going and there really is no particular reason for loving it, there you have is
a pointer to some chemical reaction that is directly connected to the feeling
that comes with needing music.
Erik Jonasson II rightly said “Music is one of the best ways
we have available to communicate with others and understand ourselves with.
It’s also something we can easily share with others. Let’s enjoy it, share it
and love it.” (http://ndsuspectrum.com/why-music-appreciation-is-important/#comment-50306)
The enjoyment of listening
is effectively therapeutic. Moods get lightened up, people get inspired, lives
get changes, people touch others dearly… the list is endless when we talk about
the impact music has on human existence.
The world is full
of music. We hear it as we shop and while driving in our cars. We attend
concerts and buy albums and digital downloads to listen to by ourselves. Yet,
despite having music surround us, we may not always stop to consider the
elements and pieces that combine to make music. In this unit, we will consider
some of the basic elements of music and how these elements are used in
different genres of music.
I recently had
reasons to visit the e-dynamic learning site (http://edynamiclearning.com/courses/high-school-music-appreciation-course/)
their career and elective courses are
really helpful.
Either for personal
or professional purposes, the need to constantly give back to these artists,
bands, groups, companies, labels and everyone in the making of music in all
genres cannot be overemphasized or underestimated.
