Music to me, means a lot. Ever since I was born, I've been around music. My Mom used to have a great amount of CDs, tapes, instruments, and is a really good singer as well, so I was always around music growing up. As I went into my teen years, my taste in music changed drastically. When I was about 10, I got my first mp3 player. With this device, I would experience listening to music I chose to listen to, when I wanted to, adjust the volume, etc. I loved the feeling of hearing music I liked or discovering new music I liked. When I got my first iPod, I began streaming music and my taste quickly changed from rock n roll to rap/ hip hop. When I was 7, I began playing the guitar but as I began to like hip hop/ rap more and more, I slowly drifted more towards drums and piano. Guitar was still my main instrument but I did not play it as much. Fast forward to age 17, I started to make beats. When I figured out how to make my favorite type of music, I realized I want to make music for the rest of my life.
I am always listening to music. When I am not listening to it, I am probably either thinking of music or making it. I make beats every day and work to get better. I love the process of making a beat, listening to it, giving it to an artist, and hearing a complete, released project. Music has done a lot for me in my life.
This is a blog devoted to the ideas and analysis of BSU students as they discover, listen, read, analyze the works of various musical artists, across various genres, whose music centers on political, social, and/or cultural issues. The ultimate goal of the class, other than focusing on the students' writing skills, is to allow them the space and time to express their own opinions and ideas, to expose them to music that can and has made significant change.
