12/7 presentations

I really enjoyed the presentations on the final day of class and presentations.
A few things that I wanted to say about them--

Melissa, I enjoyed how you talked about the voice and how songs are really pieces of poetry. I definitely agree with that, as I am also a poet.. and that's what I got into this school to do.
Martha, I really liked how you admitted that your songs really don't vary, which is true with a lot of what I listen to also, so I was able to connect with your ideas as well.
Kelsey, I really, really enjoyed when you discussed how you like the fact that you enjoy artists that write their own songs.. and also when you discussed Nietzsche and "must that makes you productive."

All in all, very great day to finish presentations and the class work.

Feedback for Class 12/7

I really enjoyed the last two presentations today. Kelsey, I liked how you said you're family has a tradition of listening to this one CD while you put up your Christmas decorations. I also like how you said that you might even carry on the tradition with your own kids someday. Melissa I really enjoyed your musical selections. I also liked how you prefer the non-recorded versions of the song more than the actual recorded ones.

I thought that everyone else presenting did very well. Allison, I liked listening to your presentation because I liked hearing about how much your music varied. I also liked how you compared the two versions of the same song, because I liked listening to how they were the same and how they were different, and hearing about why you liked the second one better. Rachael, I really liked those songs you played by McFly, I think that I'll look them up sometime. And I think I understand what you were saying about emotions, and how the emotions are based on the music but that the lyrics help, too.

12/7

I enjoyed all the presentations on Monday, it is very interesting to see the different styles of music that everyone else has. Not one person has played the same music twice, so i can't wait to hear the rest

12/5/2011

The presentations went well, once again.

It was interesting to hear people's life stories that somehow ultimately effected their musical taste. Once I heard people tell about themselves, I had a hard time relating it to the music that they played. I thought to myself "I really do not see how they got anything out of this song," but I remembered that there is more than words can explain that makes a person like a certain music. Though my life story might be very similar to theirs, they are different enough to be able to eventually make a drastic difference in musical taste.
