Music

            When I was writing my paper I found a really good book that talked about music education. This book was written by Bennett, Finn and Cribb. I really liked this passage from this book. “Experiencing wonderful examples of art and music links students with the past. It teaches them about the traditions and culture that have shaped our society, and helps them appreciate others people’s cultural heritages.” I never thought of the fact that music would be connected to culture. It is good for people to be accepting of one another and understand other people’s roots. People can’t understand other people if they don’t know their roots or heritage. This world is full of hatred and laughter towards people and they don’t even understand the people they are laughing at. Different music of different cultures tells a person a lot a culture. If it has words it is easy to see the persons take on life. If someone were to listen to American music they would realize that in this country we focus on love and relationships. It is obvious to me by looking and listening to music.
