12/5 presentations

Monday's presentations went really well actually-- all have actually gone extremely well. Excited to see how today's go.

Presentation Feedback: 12/5

I think everyone did a wonderful job, Joe, in particular your presentation was so personal and it took so much courage to speak about those issues. It's so interesting to see how your experiences with family shaped your musical taste, I really enjoyed it especially since I was always a Ringo instead of a Paul fan. And Jon, yours was a bit different than everyone else, everyone who went so far said that music had always been a part of their lives, but you said you didn't start paying attention to it until later on. I found that really interesting because you seem as if you're really passionate about it now and are really trying to 'catch up' on what you missed.

12/5 presentations

Everyone did a great job with their presentations. You could see their passion and emotion for music through these presentations.

Feedback for Class 12/5

I enjoyed everyone's presentation. However, I really feel the need to comment on Rachel's presentation. When she first played McFly, I got really into it. The second song by this band that she played, caused me to completely lose my train of thought. I am really glad that she introduced this bad to the class. I have not been able to find a band that made me lose my complete train of thought in years, if ever.

Response to presentations, Day 2

Cory: I like how you focused on quality of sound and how it can effect the way we listen to music. I never thought of that and it was really interesting how you related that to our own musical experiences.

Emily: It's funny, I liked that song, but never gave it really a second thought, but the way you described it made me look further into it than I did when I listened to it without your presentation. I think you really contradict Schopenhauer in a good way speaking about how it is okay to relate to lyrics as they do help some songs and the voice as well when portraying emotion.

Hunter: Your presentation was so good. I like how you connected your musical choice to that of your parents and how you said that you began listening to it because your parents didn't want you to listen to the music you listen to. I thought it was interesting, because I never personally considered Metallica metal in the first place.

Kristen: When you played your country songs I wasn't sure what to expect, but I love how you related it to memories. I thought it was nice how you said that the music grows on you, kind of like it has a personality of its own.

Day 2

Emily - I was interested in the fact that you chose one song to represent your feelings on music as a whole. That's something I would have had a great deal of trouble deciding, and it shows that you know how you feel. That's great.

Hunter - I thought it was really awesome seeing how connected and how personal music is to you. It seems like that deep and that type of connection isn't always seen, and kudos to you for being able to express it and articulate it.

Response to presentations, Day 2

Again, I really enjoyed everyone's presentations. It's interesting to learn about how music affects different people in so many ways.

Emily- I really liked the song you chose to base your presentation off of. It's always nice to have the one song or artist you can turn to when you really need them.

Hunter- I really liked how you talked about the music. I can tell that you're really passionate about everything you listen to. I also like how you made side comments about things and really explained why your music influences you so much.
