After the chords are decided, choosing the chord progression is the next step on the list. There are different ways to set up the chord progressions in songs. Some artists are simplistic with their progressions, using the same ones throughout the whole song. This can be useful if one wants the song to focus mainly on the lyrics. For example, Radiohead’s hit single

Whereas the factors that made them different were the target audience, QR code, celebrity endorsement, etc. After we had completed this we went on to planning and drafting ideas for our own advert based of a music festival that would be held in Crewe. First of all we made a mind map to help us come up with ideas, which we could use for our adverts and included in them if we wished to. This helped us
(2004 pg. 4) London’s explanation of meter and rhythm do well to hint at the overlying purpose of meter and rhythm; they both serve as a focus for attention to successive beats. Beats are perceived pulses that mark equally spaced points in time, either in the form of sounded events or hypothetical (unsounded) time points. Beat perception is established by the presence of musical events; however, once a sense of beat has been established, it may continue in the mind of the listener even if the event train temporarily comes into conflict with the pulse series, or after the event train
Music: A very Short Introduction by Nicholas Cook is a book which provokes the reader to not only think about music, but to actually ponder about what every single genre is expressing. What is more, the author attempts to establish a setting for the way one should understand and ‘see’ music. The purpose of the essay is to extensively review and to focus on asesing the value and success of the book. To begin with, in the Foreword, Professor Cook is expressing the main idea of the book. He makes clear and points out the distinction between what one would think this book would be about- an ABC of music, and what the book actually is about- the way of thinking about music, a map of all the music in the world and the perception of music people should have.

In the ‘Introductory notes to the Semiotics of Music’ by Phillip Tagg 1999, after a discussion on musical structure it is proposed ‘that definitions of musical structures must, in a semiotic context, be based on information from both the transmitting and receiving ends’ and finds not all structural elements on the transmitting side are musical signifiers. Hence the need to discuss how some musical structures can act as signifiers and how we identify them. From this followed the development of a sign typology of music that identifies four major different types of musical signs: 1) Anaphones 2) Genre Synecdoche 3) Episodic Marker, and 4) Style Indicator. The sign typology is an attempt to give some highly common and everyday semantic practices and mechanisms adequate names to make discussion on these musical structures easier. “Anaphone is a neologism analogous to 'analogy'.
Each movement within a piece has its own structure, but each one typically elaborates on the same theme. 4. Consider which instruments are used at what point in the piece. Try to determine why the composer might have chosen those instruments. This form of active listening would employ the lens of New Criticism and for me takes away the simple enjoyment that I get by “reading” it with a Reader-Response lens which is how I approach 90% of the classical music I listen to.
If you are not sure what to say, remember that the important thing is to try to go beyond your mind. Creates sounds and let arise a new language (Fetty Wap, Lil Wayne, DMX). Be unique. Try to focus on the famous musical artists that you respect or love and see if it affects your results. Don’t copy them once you’re getting recognition though, only do this in the beginning to hone your craft.
It is to awaken to disclose the ordinarily unseen, unheard and unexpected. The arts [..] are on the margin, ‘and the margin is the place for those feelings and intuitions which daily life doesn’t have a place for and mostly seems to suppress’ ” (Maxine Greene Imagination, Oppression and Culture 28) Conceptions of aesthetic eduction pose many questions to us as music educators. For example, how do we ask questions that invite a new perspective on our world, allowing to see it as though through the eyes of a stranger? Aesthetic education also raises question on what we value in teaching and forces us to question why we mold those values. If teaching is about transmitting knowledge how do we connect it with the students’ lives?
