Choose a topic and find a live listening opportunity to hear and observe musicians participating in your chosen music culture. Secure permission to participate in music-making or participate as an active observer. Confirm that you will be able to speak with at least one of the musicians

Music is an art comprising composition, tone, and instrumentation. Depending on music culture, different music varies in design, technique, and instrumentation. However, the heart of music is tone. It makes music lively and shapes it according to the culture (Titon,2016). Music genres also vary depending on culture and composition subject. It would be positive and educative to listen to a live music concert.

Music has several subjects usually recognizable through melody and composition. Music is also distributed in several genres according to country of origin and purpose. Music culture displays different designs, artistic works, and tools (Titon,2016). I prefer Afro-American music, which is easily accessible in my area. The afro-American theme is built on an authentic tonal and embraces all cultures in composition. I want to monitor and record the different tones and designs at a live event embracing music culture.

In the live event, the attendance requires a ticket book before the date. The venue is also accessible from my residence. With an interest in attending the live event and learning and observing musicians, I have sought permission from my family and obtained a pass to book a ticket earlier. In addition, the musicians performing will be attending to personal interviews with content creators. I will embrace the chance to at least speak to one of the American afro musicians and enquire more about the topic. Paying an expensive advance ticket guarantees a moment with the musicians and thus it is confirmed I will be able to speak to one of them.
