Music
Music has been around since the beginning of time. Some Native Americans have done rituals that involve music and dancing. Our ancestors have made music with instruments that require materials that you would be able to obtain from animals and dead trees. Music started to boom when the radio came to be. It broadcasted lots of music that would be heard all around the world and for everyone to listen to. Music has been shaping the future for centuries and it has become very popular every time we hear it.
Music in this century is beginning to have more of an effect to people than ever before. It has evolved into calming and something that anyone can dance to. However, some music genres are becoming too provocative due to the lyrics being hateful to many things. But for some

In some cases, like a birthday party you would sing the happy birthday song to the birthday boy/girl. When you would attend a dance party, you would hear music that you would be able to dance to without knowing the dance moves to the song. The music will have a good beat to it and a good rhythm to it as well. At quinces, there will be music for the birthday girl and her father to dance to. It would be exciting for you at a quince because there will be a lot of dancing and singing going on at the party. For Christmas, there will be jolly music that would make you smile and know that it is the time for cheer and to be together with your family.
Music in my life is really has become a positive thing. I get to relax when I am stressed out, or it gets me pumped up before I do something that would be hard for me or that would need a lot of work for me to do. If I am studying, I would listen to music that is calming with lyrics or with a very good beat such as dubstep. When I am really stressed out with school, I like to lie down and listen to alternative music such as Fall Out Boy, Cage the Elephant, or Twenty One Pilots to calm me
The Native American flute is the third oldest known musical instrument in the world, with bone flutes dating back over 60,000 years. The first instrument found were drums, then varies whistle were made. Over time, the instrument evolved with many different materials and shapes. And these difference and changes reflect the culture of that time. Virtually, flutes were used all types of hardwoods and softwoods in history. They had many different configurations, 2, 3, 4,5,6,7 or 8 holes. The flute we used in class is 6 holes, and we also saw many different flutes in class, someone smaller, someone larger, someone with 3 holes, etc. The oldest flutes we have were made from wing bones of a Griffon Vulture [1] and a Whooper Swan [2], as well as one from mammoth tusk ivory [3].
Native American music has many different musical styles. Within every Native American tribe there is a variety of musical styles and instruments. In response to the research that I have conducted, there are three main musical styles that are going to be my point of focus. The Sioux Grass Dance, the Zuni Lullaby, and the Iroquois Quiver Dance are the principal methods which contribute to Native American music.
Music has always been an integral part of human life. Not only has it followed us throughout our history, but it has its own history.
In chapter ten, author Bruno Nettle takes the reader to the town of Browning, Montana, where he is about to witness a modern Native American ceremony. As he observes, he notices that only one-half of the people there are actual Native Americans. The rest are are white tourists and innocent observers just like himself. Eventually, somewhere around eighteen singing groups appear from different tribes and reservations. They will be summoning the dancers into what is known as the grand entry. Nettle notices that the overall style of the music remains the same among all of the different groups, or `drums.' People are able to interact by taking pictures, video and tape recording what goes on. In that respect, the event is similar to a high school or local sporting event. Throughout this chapter the reader is introduced to many aspects of Native American music including: ceremonial traditions, musical areas, societies, unity and diversity, ideas about music, musical instruments, and aspects of history.
Music has been around sense the dawn of time. When man first started to discover music it was not the kind of music we have today. All it consisted of was grunts, moans, and banging things. Music has evolved just as much as the people that created it. From Chromagnum men to musician and from grunting too classical music, rock, and rap.
Music has been in existence for a very extensive time in human history, music has had a monumental impact on us. Music has a strong power to move our lives, and our minds. Music can change the way you think about something. Music can change the way you feel and alter your emotions. Music can be revolutionary, start...
Since the earliest days of human civilization music has been a key tool for communication of stories which carried emotions through them. If we think back to our youngest years of life music has surrounded us whether it was from our parents singing us lullabies or from some sort of toy that played music we can say that musical melodies have helped shape or lives one way or another. Once we start growing up and figuring out who we are our musical preferences change; some people like classical and some like punk. We start to befriend people who like the same music as us and eventually we may attend a musical event. Our lives somewhat revolve around the music that we listen to.
Music has always been a basic form of expression. From Antonin Dvorak, to Eminem, to even ancient, tribal music, it has been a medium through which individuals convey their thoughts and expressions. Today this medium is under attack. Everywhere we turn, everything we do and say is being scrutinized. We are being told what to say. We are being spoon-fed our emotions. No longer are we allowed to think freely, openly. All the censors out there are on the prowl for another piece to rip to shreds because it doesn't fit their description of what is decent and moral. What they fail to realize is that we don't make the music for them... We do it for release.
Music has been around for a really long time. Most people use music to aid with their stress or for entertainment. As our generations are growing so is music. Music is popular nowadays and most of us teenagers use it. We all find it beneficial. Even I find it beneficial for my well-being. They’re many reasons on why I listen to music and why I enjoy it. It has a big role on my life. Ever since I was a young child I listened to music and sang along with it. Music continued to affect my life as I was growing up. It affected the school I went. The mood I was in and it affected on how well I am. In middle school I was in chorus listening to piano solos with violin playing and the chorus singing. It’s a very pleasurable sound. Even now in high school, music still lingers in my life.
Music has been around for many thousands of years, and it is found in every known culture, modern and old. There are many genres of music, greatly varying from times and places. It is believed that music may have started in Africa about 50,000 years ago, and that from there it has evolved to become a fundamental constituent of the human life. Music is used to express ideas, opinions, and feelings and just about anything that an individual would like to express. There are many things that influence music; some of these things are culture, economy, personal experiences, feelings, climate, crime and many others. Music is created by people called composers; these composers vary between periods in time and regions. Music has a very long history since it’s been around for so long.
Music is a vocal or instrument combined in such a way to produce beauty as a harmony or expression of emotion. Music is important to many people and many cultures. Music can help us find the words we can’t say. It helps relieve stress or tension, can bring people together, bring people happiness, and countless other things.

Music creates the way you feel, and think. It is a huge social interest. If you go out with your friends, usually there will be music. It is a big impact on a teenage life. Think about dances, parties, and other social gatherings. It's turned into a new fashion. If your friends listen to a certain type of music, there is a high percentage that you will too. People treat music like a clothing brand; a product to brainwash large quantities of people . What happened to the real musicians? Where are they? Well I'll tell you. They are the ones sitting in the back alley of a rock concert, going unnoticed, until their dream is smashed and they give up the dream of being "company property", and they wake up. Why bother trying to grasp the media's attention? You will just become one of them: a money craving beast.
For some people, music serves as a distraction, but this does not apply for everyone. It should also be recognized that music helps keep the brain relaxed, happy, and alert(“Listening to music while you study makes you smarter” par. 5). As stated in an article "Music and Learning" on thelearningweb.net website, "Music relaxes the mind and lowers stress levels that inhibit learning” (qtd. in Petersen par. 2).“Ms. JenniferEllingson, a teacher at Floyd Dryden Middle School says, "Music is the best thing ever created. Music can be relaxing, because it helps you forget about things that are stressful and help you to focus” (Petersen par. 3).
Music plays a huge role in all the people. Music can help ease stress and calm the body down, music can be used to pump our minds when we're feeling sad. It is proven that music affects our emotions, “When we listen to sad songs, we tend to feel a decline in mood. When we listen to happy songs, we feel happier. ... About 22.2 percent of people said that they listen to music between one to two hours every day, where another 22.2 percent said they listen at least five hours a day” . Like how art comes in many forms so does music. Music can vary from really loud music to really slow music and a lot in between. For example, there is classical music which can be used to calm down a body and sometimes help people distract themselves from things, and there is hip-hop or rap music which can be used during a party to lighten the mood and get in the zone to have a good time. Music can be used to help people express themselves. Artists write their music in a certain genre or a certain way because it helps them pertain themselves to others. Music helps people throw out their feelings and tell people their stories. For example, Taylor Swift writes about her breakup and
A survey that I conducted aimed at students and teachers revealed that seventy nine percent of them regularly listen to music while working. This indicated that other people besides me indulged in music listening whilst studying. Music has the ability to calm one down, leading to more conscientious studying, elevating ones mood, motivating one to stay focused and studying for longer periods of time. Many websites and articles I found show and prove that music in general can help with stress, anxiety, vision, speech, memory, sleep and depression.
