What Music Discovery Can Lead You To

What is music? Music can be described in many different ways. Music for someone can be an inspiration, something you do for a pass time or it can be used as a way to express yourself in this musical world. Music consists of important key features that distinguish it from just an ordinary sound or noise. Music consists of rhythm, melody, and harmony to create musical texture and musical form. Most of us have a musical genre preference and though they can be different from our peers they consist of all these terms that let your music preference product be classified music.

A place to begin

Essentially in your search for your new beat or something you can share with your friends or keep to yourself begins with your current music preference. I know this seems like a very simple task... and it is but some tips can't hurt you on your search. In my own experience, searching for new music has been a difficult task because I'm particular about what I listen to, but that's usually based on my personality. What I recommend when you're searching for new music is to have an open mind, simple as that.

Tools to consider

We live in the time of the internet where you can pretty much find anything you need for your daily life. The internet is an excellent tool in your search for this new music artist you didn't know you loved. Many different resources, applications, and subscription services are available including some big names like Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio. Each of these with different features and search methods that can adapt to your searching methods, meaning you can use the one you like most to find new music you'll most certainly enjoy. Spotify, for example, is a monthly subscription which has many useful features that again, for example, has an algorithm that builds playlists based on your most played artists or music genre even recommending artists for you to listen. Essentially you don't have to use Spotify specifically but many other applications and subscriptions all offer similar features that will help you find the song you won't stop playing on repeat.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.
