Write a brief essay (800 words or no more than 3 pages, double spaced) about the role of music in your life. Consider this role from several angles. How did you experience music as a child? Teenager? Adult? Are you an active music maker, or do you experience music solely as
a listener/dancer? Was music ever instrumental in helping you to learn other material (e.g. many children learn the alphabet by singing it to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) When do you typically listen to music during the course of a day? Did music ever help you define your identity to others (think punk rockerscountry music loversclassical music geeksetc)? Post your essay on the discussion board. Read at least two of your
classmates essays and post a thoughtful response.
