It was a gorgeous day out today all the birds were chirping and the kids were running and screaming. I was ready to go home and ride the mini bike, we only had a hour and a half left of school. I just had one more recess and I also had one more class to go to. I talked to my dad about it last night, he said I could ride It all by myself today. I was so ready to ride by myself, I was gonna go really fast and hit that huge dirt mount! I was so pumped, I was ready to rock and roll. I just kept repeating my dad’s words in my head. We only had 30 minutes of school left, we were all playing with shaving cream making shapes and everything that a regular kindergartener can do with shaving cream. It was really fun until the teacher told us to go …show more content…
Swee. Everybody started singing along very loud, it’s really fun to sing. But the thirty minutes went by and the after school announcement came on and we all listened to it. Then we all went outside and waited for our parents to pick us up in the pickup lane. They call out my name and tell me which cone to go to. It was my dad that picked me up! I was already asking questions about the mini bike. I was so thrilled to ride it by myself. My dad and I always get a snack and a drink for me and him just like we do everyday. We have to wait about 30 minutes for my brother to get out of school and pick him up. That’s what we had to do everyday until football started. So I was still asking questions the whole 30 minutes waiting for my brother. Then when my brother finally gets in the car he says “Can’t wait to ride the mini bike when we get home! Hey dad, can I jump the dirt mound today? Because I’m ready!” I started throwing a huge fit about that I should be allowed to ride it first because I haven’t got to ride it by myself. Then my brother cuts in by putting his hand on my mouth and shutting me up. Then he buts in and starts to yell back at my dad, but I being a little kid, I bite his hand and hit him in the gut and yell at

Not parents, not teachers, but music changed the decade of the 1950s. Welcome to the decade, where rock ‘n’ roll music emerged. Rock ‘n’ roll changed the world, but it wasn’t just the music. The music created a movement. People were not afraid to be different. The Birth of Rock ‘n’ roll, created a major impact on many cultures and society.

I think of Rock ‘n roll music as a stepping stone for Americans because the music reflects on the change of America after the war. Everybody was afraid to break out and be different. Rock and roll music made it cool to be different. During the 1950s no other genre of music was accepted or despised as much a rock ‘n’ roll. The popularity of rock music can also be traced to the controversy that the music stirred up. When rock ‘n’ roll music hit the white suburbia area and became popular to the youth, the following decades talk trash about rock ‘n’ roll music. Despite the people talking trash about rock music, the music did help break down racial barriers. Rock music was universal. The music allowed different races to join together on the dance floor. As we take a journey through the 1950s, we will be able to understand the roots of Rock ‘n’ roll, famous idols, fashion sense the music created, and why rock ‘n roll has stirred up so much controversy during the fifties.
Most things have their beginnings in something small: a word, a breath, or idea; but not music. Music begins with a single vibration. It explodes and carries on, morphing worlds of unrelated personas. It lives rampantly in the mouths of millions of unruly and free-spirited teenagers, like a fever. The rock 'n roll trend that defiantly rose against the conformist ideology of the mid-twentieth century left remnants that commenced the start of a progressing society: a culture that redefined the rules of society and pushed social and moral limits while addressing social concerns.
Rock and Roll Rock music is something lots of people love and is a part of their lives. yet there was a time when churches banned this music while calling it “Satanic”.

The veterans were starting to settle down after the war for some peace, but that short period of peace made people, especially the younger generation, restless.

To many Rock musicians who have helped popularize Rock in the more modern era, they describe rock as having a blues genre mixed in it. It is characterized as music with heavy beats and melodies when it first started to come up. It is also described as Black Rhythm, blues, and country white music. These bands usually consist of a guitar, drums, bass, and keyboard or their instrument that gives Rock it’s uniqueness. It is generally based on twelve-bar blues, and the first and third beats are heavily accented.
Woodstock is a talked about legend. On August 16-18, 1969 Woodstock Music Festival took place on a patch of farmland in White Lake, a hamlet in the upstate New York town of Bethel. John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield and Michael Lang who all worked together to organize originally envisioned the festival as a way to raise funds to build a recording studio and rock-and-roll retreat near the town of Woodstock, New York.

Despite their relative inexperience, the young promoters managed to sign a roster of top acts, including the Jefferson Airplane, the Who, the Grateful Dead, Sly and the Family Stone, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Rock and roll. These three words represent a culture of freedom and rebellion, innovation and individual expression. This distinct genre of music is not only recognized and respected elements of many populations in the world, but also the inspiration for newer genres, like pop and rap. The creation of its identity, however, lies in its past. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, a new genre ascended in America. It encompassed a combination of elements from other musical genres like jazz, blues, western swing, and country music. Finally, in the 1950s, the genre acquired its name—rock and roll. It had a new name and a new style, and while American culture was evolving, many Americans embraced the rock and roll ethos. Rock and roll culture spoke to the youth about rebellion and questioning authority. It inspired listeners to transform their norms—the way they spoke, the way they dressed, the way they thought. In its earliest years, rock and roll was primarily American. Foreign musicians, like Cliff Richard and the Shadows, recognized America’s supremacy over the genre, as American musicians, such as Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, controlled the music scene. As the genre progressed through the 1950s, however, it spread to Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, and engendered reactions that changed its style forever; one reaction, in particular, influenced the genre so much that it was given a name: the British Invasion.

The Rock Hall has had massive success over the past 22 years it has been open, so what does the future hold for the museum, more success, a decline? Overall, the future looks bright for the Rock Hall, but some changing and growing need to happen before the rock hall truly grows, one of those changes being the genre of the artists they induct.

When it came to the chorus, Dave stopped singing and everyone in the room, sung the chorus back. I felt the unity with everyone in that room, although I hardly knew any of them. The song ended with a sigh. The night is over. Dave thanked us and smiled.
My short story is about the similarities of music and sports. First, music is the sound of voices and/or instruments. It has a range of high, low, loud, or quiet. Music is not just something to listen to. Music is also to play or sing. For people music is not just about the sound, it is about the feeling. How music makes you feel is important. It could be harming, calming, peaceful, hateful, dangerous, mysterious, inspirational, warm felt, dreadful, faithful. It has a different meaning to each and every person.

When I was around the age of 7 or 8 I was one big handful. Accident prone, annoying, rude, and thought I could do whatever I want. But that all changed one summer morning. I woke up to the sound of a horse neighing. I quickly ran to my barn to see my dad with a little Shetland pony.
