It is very interesting to know that now I have some pretty good knowledge about music cultures of the different countries that we had covered in this class and also some other countries that our friends did a presentation on. It is very fascinating to learn about their music and how it had played a major role on their community. I have come to learn that music can mean different things to different people. It can also have different functions in their life or their family. To me, it broadened my knowledge on different types of music cultures and its origins. Though I might have heard about a lot of the music cultures in different countries, this class made it possible for me to learn in depth about it all.
I never really had a chance to listen to a lot of my cultural/traditional music as my family was not very well involved into music. But we do always listen to music when we feel really bored or stressed. Music to us is like trying to calm down from emotional up and downs. We always listened to a lot of melodious music and this has also captured a lot of the other people's hearts. Through this class, I also had an opportunity to see a lot of traditional music concerts and musicians whom I had never heard about previously. It was very fun to learn about my own culture and trying to draw some similar experiences from my life.
The music of different cultures had made me wonder about the various elements and sounds that every music has incorporated into its style. I have got to know more about the various instruments that ever existed and the different sounds that it had produced for a unique piece of music. We can also see the evolution of musical styles or traditions and the instruments from different parts of the world. All of the aspects of music have all inter connected links with the other styles.
