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. 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:
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.
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.
