In class 6


I must say that I enjoyed class this week. I liked how Jasie introduced us to grooveshark.com, and that she could show us a piece of music from each time period. There was more interaction with that in class discussion about music in general. I liked how we went over how music is important and why or how it affects us. Music is very amazing to me. I took a physics class last semester and one of the subjects that we learned had to do with acoustics, and how sound is created. Each note has a certain frequency and they are all related mathematically. Also when the source of sound is moving or when the obsverver is moving there is a doppler effect. The doppler effect changes the frequency of the sound. In this class we are learning how music affects our brains or our emotions. I personally love music. I play the piano, and when I had extra time in the past, I liked to learn new pieces. I love playing mozart. He definitely was a genius. Seriously, how do people come up with this kind of stuff? How do all the notes flow perfectly to make us feel the way we do? It is all amazing.
Throughout my life, I have noticed that when I listen to certain songs I remember the first time or around the first time that I've listened to them. For example, when I am listening to The Beautiful Mistake it reminds me of my senior year of high school, and how I would drive every other week from Las Vegas to go snowboarding up in Brian Head near Cedar City. Also other songs remind me of other things. I wonder what I am listening to now that will make me remember now later. Now, that is interesting.
