EM-6 Assignment - (your student name)

Part 1: One day this week I listened to "Have You Met Miss Jones" the jazz standard composed by Richard Rogers and played by solo guitarist Sean McGowan. I chose this song because I had ordered the vinyl and it just arrived. I listened to it on Thursday 1/18/24 in my home on an old analog stereo system I've had for a while. I love listening to solo guitar playing, and jazz, and this helped me mellow out for a few minutes.

Part 2: When listening to the assigned etic piece, "Djinn Magic" composed and performed by Rikie Kej, I noticed that I had never really listened to this style of music, Indian Pop, before. It made me feel relaxed but also interested in discovering what it's like to hear words sung but not speak the language - in this case Hindi. So I looked up the translation by Google search. Then it dawned on me that this EXPERIENCE of not knowing the style of music, the words, or the instruments played was new for me. I felt like dancing for sure, but that is very different when compared to the music that I chose for part 1 of this assignment which I know well and love. This experience made me wonder if other people get the same feeling when they hear music they're not familiar with.
