Music History

I was in choir in fifth and sixth grade. I learned to play the recorder in fourth grade, but I don't remember how. I took a couple of mandatory music classes in middle school. I prefer rock or alternative music. I listen to music a lot, especially when I do homework. My iPod has about 500 or 600 songs on it. This includes rock, alternative, punk, bubblegum music, and a few other genres. I mostly listen to my iPod when I am walking to class, but I also listen to it when my roommate is sleeping and when I'm at work.

I think the activities so far have helped loosen people up a little. It makes you realize that not everyone there is going to be a fantastic singer and so you don't have to worry about the fact that you're not good. They've also been very creative. This was taught through our singing and moving around. This is good for children because the music helps them learn easier, such as the song that helped learn names. The song is something that is more fun for them and so they are more willing to pay attention, as opposed to simply stating everyone's name.
