Ethnomusicology Reflection- Katherine Hunt

Posted by Katherine Hunt in African American History - Sherif on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 9:58 am

10-20-30

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.

Summary of the 10-20-30 BM

Posted by James Prell in African American History - Sherif on Monday, April 4, 2011 at 3:02 pm

     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.

10-20-30 Project

Posted by Jhonas Dunakin in African American History - Sherif on Monday, April 4, 2011 at 2:59 pm

​My 10-20-30 project I turned around so it became a 5-10-20-30-40 project. I interviewed people from all different ethnisities and backgrounds so my project could spread to more people. It includes music from the specific era, album cover, artist, article link, and an article affiliated with african american history of the time period. I also interviewed people on why they liked the song at that time. The quotes from the interview are on the page and some are translated. The best part was interviewing people. It was interesting to see how the music changed over time. THe hardest part was finding interesting articles that are readable. Most articles as you get closer to the current time period were mostly about murders. I have provieded a link to my page so you're able to see my work.
