I interviewed Matthew Hamilton about the 10-20-30 benchmark

He thought that the purpose of this project was to get a sense of what was going on back then.

Some questions that he raised were; Is there any similarities between the music lyrics and what was happening in that time?

For him the best part of this project was writing about the music from the different time periods. 

For him the challenging part of this project was the finding of articles for this wiki.

If he were able to change something about what he did for his final project he would do more research on his events.

I interviewed Sean Force: 

What was the purpose of this project?

 

He thinks that the purpose of the project was to learn about what kind of music people listened to back then and to realize the different problems that African Americans were going through at that time.

 

 

What were some questions that got raised?

 

Were there any connection between lyrics and events going on at that time?

 

 

What was the best part about this project?

 

His favorite part was putting the music on the Wikipage.

 

 

What was the most challenging part?

 

The most challenging part for him was finding articles and summarizing them for the Wikipage.

 

 

If you were to change something about your final project what would it be?

 

He would change his article for 1976 because he said the article was to short and it really was not the best article.

Here is a link to my awesome Wikipage:

​The wiki looks decently attractive and accessible to audiences. There were some pretty concise analysis about the article and their connections to African American History. The music sections were decorative with videos and audios of preferences from interviewees, who lived through the era of 80s, 70s, and 60s. However, it could've been better. The analysis can be more in depth and there should be connections drawn between the music and the history of that era. 

The challenging part of doing this project was to gather music from people and their explanation of why they like that music. It is necessary to see the connection between the sociopolitical theme of the era, and their influences on music and people lives. Through researching articles and events, one could really tell the systematic theme, especially over 30 consecutive years.

I got denied from UCF.
I had to get two shots yesterday and now my arm hurts.
My throat is so swollen and sore I'm going to end up crying.
I feel like I'm overheating, but then I get cold real quick.
I have precalculus next, fuck.
I'm eating ice cream, though. (:
I absolutely cannot wait for prom.
5/7 college acceptances, not bad. Considering the two I got denied from were in Florida.

With A Little Bit of Luck I Could Have Danced All Night On the Street Where You Live. Wouldn't It Be Loverly?

The purpose of the project was to learn about how music evolved through time depending on what happened through each passing generation to influence the evolution of music. My class and I wanted to delve deeper in this by interviewing people about what their favorite music was back 10-30 years ago in their time and compare contrast it with today's type of music through class discussions. Then based on the songs time, we found an event of that time and since the class in which we are doing this project in is African American History, we had to apply our knowledge of the event to African- American- History.

Questions asked:
How do events happening through out time passing, influences the way music's been changing?
How does music shape the way we are culturally, rationally, politically, humanly e.c.t?
When was the rhythm of songs the fastest, and how could this relate to what went on at that time period to maybe cause this?
Could the type of norms in music encourage people to act a lot like described in songs today?
...

Best Part: Listening and recording peoples favorite song choices, and then listening to the songs and connecting own comments with theirs.
Worst Part: Finding events based on the time period of song chosen.

I do hope you enjoy it.

Capstone is really coming together! Completed part 3.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. [Marianne Williamson]

This is my all time favorite quote of all time.
