hope you’ve all had a great week so far! For me, the most challenging thing
about the course is learning to stop and listen to the music and evaluate what
I think the emotion behind it is, or what the artist is trying to portray through
the songs. Some of the songs throw me for a loop because what may sound
like surprise may be anger, and what sounds like sadness could be anger. I
had a hard time trying to clear my mind and just listen to what I heard to
evaluate the music, and even after listening to it over and over it again I still
got it quite a bit wrong. I found that the older songs were tough because I had
to understand the time frame it came from, and I’m still working on doing
that, but hopefully with a little time I’ll get better at it.
