Term 4 week 3

Guiding Question : How have developments in technology changed the ways in which we engage with music ?

Music Theory Class :

Developments in technology have influenced the ways in which we engage with music. Before, people had to go to the opera house or some similar places to listen to music because that was the only way for them to be able to listen to music. But then, later on, they started to listen to music through phonograph record, cassette, then radio, and now through CD, iPod, mp3 player, and even online. These inventions / developments help us to be able to listen to music easily and now we can listen to music wherever we are and whatever we are doing. I also found out that there is a kind of mp3 player which can be played in water which can accompany us while doing water sports.

Music Instrument Class :

This week, I only had the instrument class once because the other session was used for the group slide presentation. In that one session, me and my classmates practiced to play "Autumn Leaves" with some improvisation on the rhythm. It was kind of hard at first, but after being taught by our teacher and practicing for quite many times, I don't think it's that hard. I think that I just need to do more practices to be able to play better.
