Description

Music connects people to time and place. For instance, many of you may remember a song that comforted you during a difficult time, or that was playing during a happy occasion like a graduation or engagement. Despite varying tastes, the one constant across humanity is that music can play a role in times of comfort and celebration.

This week’s writing Assignment asks you to consider what songs are important to you and why. You can think of this as collecting the soundtrack of your own life so you may compose your Musical Autobiography.

In 750–1000 words, consider and explain the role of music in your life story. Follow an essay format with an introduction, declarative thesis, body paragraphs and a conclusion. You must incorporate a connection to the Unit 8 course text reading material, so you need to cite at least one source. Be sure to incorporate APA citations throughout the analysis, and include a references section at the end of your analysis.

For each of the following categories, you must include at least one specific song and artist. Express the music and link it directly to an experience and the emotions you felt. Remember to link your individual experience to broaden your understanding of the impact of music at large.

In your analysis, consider the following:

  1. What music do you associate with childhood? How did/does this music make you feel? How do your choices reflect your childhood experiences? What can you conclude about the nature of music and its impact after this reflection on your personal experience? Include at least one specific song/artist for this category.
  2. What music do you associate with adolescence? Was this music a way to fit in or rebel? What can you conclude about the nature of music and its impact after this reflection on your personal experience? Include at least one specific song/artist for this category.
  3. What music do you associate with comfort? How do these songs help you deal with disappointment or stress? What can you conclude about the nature of music and its impact after this reflection on your personal experience? Include at least one specific song/artist for this category.
  4. What music do you associate with happiness or inspiration? Why? What can you conclude about the nature of music and its impact after this reflection on your personal experience? Include at least one specific song/artist for this category.

Your essay should be written in essay format with a thesis, main points, and substantive conclusion. Your work should be double-spaced and include a title page in APA format. The title page does not count in the word count for the Assignment. Complete the project using the Microsoft Word template in Doc Sharing.

THE ROLE MUSIC IN MY LIFE
Music is very important in human life, and this fact cannot be over-emphasized. Music is
a powerful medium that is used by societies to convey powerful messages as well as facilitating
communication which goes beyond words. As such, it enables development and upholding of an
individual’s culture and national identities (Brown, 2000). In addition to bringing people
together, of different cultural backgrounds, music is crucial in educating, encouraging and
developing cognitive abilities in individuals. There are many themes and messages coded in
music ranging from religion, political and cultural aspects. Personally, music has a special place
in my soul. Hardly a day passes without listening to the charming melodies and rhythmical tones
of music. I have such a big and exciting passion for music that dates back to the time when I was
a child; I was and am a great lover of music especially Christian hymns that my parents listened
to. Being brought up by Chr...
