Whether the student is a beginner, or someone who has studied music for a number of years, the way in which one views oneself as a musician can be an important factor in the kinds of experiences one has with music. A quality music education is one that challenges students to set clear and achievable goals, think musically and critically, and apply what one has learned in a meaningful way. If a musician harbors a negative view of his or her musical abilities, the lasting effects of this view on his or her musical experiences and achievement could be challenging to overcome.
The Voice and American Idol are two popular reality television shows that aim to find the best unknown singers and transform them into a household name. Beginning in 2002, American Idol has soared in the ratings due to the unique competition style of famous celebrity judges deciphering the best singer from large groups of hopefuls, with its most successful season bringing in over thirty-eight million views during the finale.

Authenticity, which could be described with terms like “real”, “honest”, “truthful”, “with integrity”, “actual”, “genuine”, “essential and “sincere” 0, seems to be lacking with performers who do not write their own songs. The fans feel deceived as the artists perform the songs as if they were their own, and form an ostensible connection with the fans. Once the true writing credits escape from under the fame of the performer, the authenticity of the artist is greatly reduced. Fans feel a lack of truthfulness, which “interacts with the social and cultural context” and gain a feeling of betrayal that their favourite artist has gone for commercial gain. While the performer may be gifted, it is the composer that succeeds in “conveying the impression ‘that the listener’s experience of life is being validated, that music is “telling it like it is” for them’”.

After learning how to talk, I found that singing was something I really enjoyed. Music has helped me to express myself. I have
this is not to say that I have much musical talent. I did perform in the choir in elementary school, and I played the flute for four years through middle school, but one day I came to a simple decision. When it comes to music, I am a much better enjoyer of it than a producer of it. When I am alone in the car, my sing-along-to-whatever-is-on-the-radio voice is fab-u-lous. However, as soon as any else climbs into the car with me my talent suddenly dwindles. My larynx doesn’t seem to appreciate an audience when it is trying to perform. Thus, my musical enjoyment stems directly from listening.
The music business entered a dramatic change in the 21st century. These changes appear in the way of how people access and consume music.

Commencing the year 1950 sound recordings experienced a drastic raise in sales by an average of 20% a year (Krasilovsky and Shemel, 2007). While the music industry was dominated by six major record lables (Time Warner, Disney, Vivendi Universal, Viacom, Bertelsmann, and News Corp.) (Hull, Hutchison and Strasser, 2011), further growth in the industry has been recorded in the 1970’s, where record sales “rose from less than $2 billion at the beginning of the decade to over $4 billion in 1978”, which took a sharp turn entering the Depression around the middle of the 20th century (Krasilovsky and Shemel, 2007:5).
