The talk about beats today was something I really enjoyed and I’ll tell you why. I am a dancer and dance coach so I am constantly…CONSTANTLY…counting beats! Except I don’t do it in 4’s, I use 8’s so that is something I think is really interesting. I always thought it was natural to count in 8’s but now see that has been drilled into me for the past 6 years of my life.
This was one of the classes that pertained and sparked my interest. As cliche as it it, music is a big part of my life and I do not think I could live without it. I was all about the Lady Gaga part…but not the Meghan Trainor. I hate her. I really was not a fan of the PostModern Jukebox band, maybe I just don’t like the classy melody. I like exciting, something I can dance to. I think it is interesting in what people are involved in can affect their taste in music. For example, my grandparents are very calm and a little boring because all they do is read and drink tea….literally. And they listen to classical instrumental music, like the originals such as Beethoven. Me, I like instrumental music as well…but it’s more exciting(?) lack of a better word. Artists such as Thomas Bergerson…So it’s intersting to me.
