I am choosing to interview Danielle Little for the Ethnomusicology Interview.

Jordan: Do you believe music has history?And Why?
"Yes.Music has call and response, one person telling a story or sending an important music."

Jordan: What is Ethnomusicology?
" The study of different types of music throughout history. The root in the word is "ethno" meaning different cultures or ethnicity. So ethnomusicology is the study and understanding of music through the years that derived from different cultures. "

Jordan: Do you think Artist create songs for a reason, such as telling a story?
" I think that messaging was through music existed in different times but not now.
Jordan: What are the three popular songs in 1960's? 

One song is "Ain't too proud to beg" by The Temptations, Another is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Tammi Terrel. "Where Did Our Love Go "Supremes.

Jordan: "What is your favorite thing about music?"
The stories that artists tell through they're singing or rhythm.

     This benchmark had us interview three people, one each from 10,20, and 30 years older than me. I asked them what their favorite song was from that time. The results I got were Ghostbusters, "Gloria" by Them, and "We will rock you" by Queen.
     On top of that, we researched historical events from around that time. A summary of these articles, as well as links to the articles themselves are located here.
     The purpose of this project was to study the music and events of different time periods. As well as study the similarities of the two.

For this quarter our purpose in the benchmark was to find 3 people that were 10,20, and 30 years older than us and tell us a song they liked from when they were born. We also had to find events that occurred in the years 1986, 1976, and 1966 to match with the songs from those time periods. The reason why we had to find songs and events was to see how that specific time period had to do with african american history. As to the events like what was occurring in that time at Africa or the songs to how the singers saw life at that time and showed the world through lyrics. The best part of this project was actually finding out about the songs that were chosen and seeing the singers point of view. Also it was very fun to put all my effort onto the wiki and feel proud of the work i did. The most challenging part was finding events that related to African American history in those specific time periods. 

The 10-20-30 BM was a study of music 10, 20, 30 years before I was born. The purpose was to study the relationships between African American events and the music of the time period. It is interesting to see the different genres that are popular in different time periods. for 1986 I got James Browns "Dr. Feel good." for 1976 I got The Ramones " blitzkreig bop. for 1966 I got, The Beatles Yellow submarine. As you can see, they are very different genres. 

Here is the link to my page. Enjoy!

The purpose of the project was to learn about how music influenced and was influenced by different time periods, by interviewing different people.
Questions asked:
How does time influence music?
How does the music influence the culture?
How does pop culture in general compare to music?
What makes it different/or alike from other music from other periods of time?

Best Part: Getting to interview Mr. Nueman, and my mother.
Worst Part: Not being able to upload my slideshow i made because of the deadline. :(

Interviewer: Seamus Kirby
Interviewee: Michael Roth

What was the purpose of this project?
To find out more about the music of the times and how they relate to important African American events of the times.

What questions did this project raise?
How did the music influence the events or how did the events influence the music?

What was the best part of the project?
Being able to hear the explanations for why the people I asked like the songs.

What was the most challenging part of the project?
Finding the three events from the amount of articles there was to chose from.

Michael Roth's Project

i could have have started early and but i finished earlier than a lot of people and met the requirments. i think that i took a long time to finally get my work together but i did finish strong. my design was good it was simple and neat. i do think i could have worked harder on this by starting earlier and asking more questions but i did ok. 

grade: B

The 10-20-30 project was good. The need for the project in my eyes was to teach us the differences about everything back then and how we are now. Like the way we are now is completely different from back then, the music the way we dress the art everything. Now its all about sex drugs and money back then everything has meaning. I didn't have any questions the project was quite easy and fun to do. The best part was hearing the different types of answers and the music, made me realize a lot and where i get my taste from. The most challenging part was the wait, i have no patience and they would make me wait till they thought their answer was perfect and had the best songs. But in the end it wasn't that bad like i thought it would. I would love to do this project again or something similar to it.

The purpose of this project was to find people who were 10, 20, and 30 years older than us. We had to ask them their favorite song from the years 86', 76', and 66'. Once that was done we had to research an event related to African-American history, write a summary about it, and post the link to the article itself. The part I found to be the best about this project was asking my family what their favorite songs were, it was interesting to find out what kind of songs they liked during that year. Music shapes your character in some ways and learning what type people grew up around sometimes shows you what their personality. The events I chose to put into my 10-20-30 were in a ways chosen at random because it was hard to find African-American events that occurred but, I found them to be interesting to learn about and hope others who read my summary and maybe the article like them too. 

it is so nice out today. I was starting to get down and drowsy earlier, but as soon as I stepped outside the warmth of the sun lifted my spirits. Spring is coming. Well technically it's here but last week it hailed. Hopefully now the spring climate will stay and not come and go like it has earlier this month. STAY SPRING. STAY. I MISS YOU. I WANT YOU. I NEED YOU.

Today in class we journaled for a while about the idea of a hero, so I figured I'd post what I was thinking prior to the class discussion.

A hero is a person that saves somebody. You can't be a hero on your own- it's defined by a relationship you have with somebody else. Sometimes a hero is more literal- a war hero, or a passerby stepping in to save someone's life. Other times, a hero is more metaphorical- somebody that has a huge impact on the life of another person. Sometimes people say their mom or dad is their hero, or maybe someone famous that inspires them. In these cases, a hero is someone to be looked up to- someone that inspires greatness in the lives of others. So the question of how you know what makes a person a hero is somewhat complex. A hero is not part of who someone is, it is who they are to another. So the only way to find out if someone is a hero is to talk to the people who know them.

Also, I thought our discussion was really interesting. What I got away from it was that a hero is someone who:
1. sacrifices a lot
2. influences/saves another person
3. does something unusually "good"

The purpose of this project was to interview people 10-20-30 years older than us and ask them what their favorite song was from the decade they were born in. Then we had to find an event that happened in that decade and relate it to African American History.

Questions raised were:
Did the environment the person interviewed lived in affect their song choice?
Does the race matter?
Were the cultures way different?
How did the cultures change over the course of 30 years?

The best part was making the imovies for each person I interviewed, it was fun.
The hardest part was finding an event that related to AAH.
