​I put a lot of effort into the Ethnomusicology project. I interview three people, my mother, and two of my neighbors. They gave me the songs the liked from their time and the year I asked them for. They questioned me asking what is this for, and what class is it for, and what will I be doing with the information they gave me and where will it be. I told them it's for a history project. We are studying ethnomusicology and its going to be put on a wikispace under 10-20-30 then click on my name.
The best part of this project was going around and asking people about their favorite song. It gave me a clue on what was their favorite Genre and artist at that time.
The most challenging part was gathering the information and putting it together on the wiki in a way by which it is easy to read and understand what it is with no questions asked about it. So that someone can look at it and know exactly what they are looking at.

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.
