Wrappin' It Up
One thing that I learned was that all music does not sound the same. This sounds obvious, but it surprised me what things some people do or do not conciser music. Most of the songs we listened to from other cultures confused me. I kept trying to count them in Western tempos but it never matched up. The instruments were also so cool to me.
At first I wondered if America really had a culture. It took me a while to realize that the pop songs that I hear on the radio and the country and the rap and the blues and the spirituals are all apart of our culture. I felt quite proud that though the United States is young, we have had such a great influence on the world's modern music.
I really liked hearing the different segments of the different kinds of music. I wish that we could have gone a bit more in depth into the technical of each instrument and learned more about Chinese opera.
When writing the blog about the Chinese music, I research more about Peking opera and I was surprised with how much I enjoyed learning about the technique behind it. It was really cool and i would like to learn more about Peking opera in comparison to Bel Canto.
