For a study of ethnomusicology, our job was to interview three people. Those people had to be 10 years , 20 years, and 30 years older than us or that were alive in that time period. Our assignment was to figure out what was their favorite songs from that time, and why. We also needed to add an event from each year. These necessary things were described as to how they were relevant and how the music as well as the articles influenced African American History.  

Reflection: Much effort on my part was done in order to complete my Wikispace considering the contrast, alignment, repetition, and proximity (also known as CARP). What was most challenging was trying to figure out what how to align to songs so that they would fall under the category of proximity. The data on the articles was limited because 2/3 of the articles, necessary for viewing had to be purchased. Therefore, a brief summary of the summary that was given is what I was able to provide. 

If anyone would have liked to purchase the articles, a link was added. The things that were simple were interviewing people, even though it took me a while to figure out who I was potentially going to interview. With this in mind, adding the audio files was not a challenge at all. Although there were many parts that were challenging when doing this project, there was much application of knowledge possible.

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 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. :(
