Class Discussion

Things That I have learned throughout this semester in this music American studies course is the technological aspect of the music industry. Technology has definitely in my eyes changed the music industry. Electric guitars makes beats have more base and treble. The compact disc has replaced the old fashion cassette tapes with faster and crispier sounds. Who knows what kind of technology will be invented next. One can download any kind of music from the Internet onto a compact disc right from their personal computer.This makes it where one do not have to purchase albums from stores. I also have improved on my writing throughout the semester therefore, being able to take constructive criticism from the instructor comments. Those comments helped me not to make the same mistakes on the next reaction paper. I also learned the different genres that have invented music from a cultural aspect of the music industry. Finally the most intriguing part of the course I learned about was Tin Pan Alley and how song writing and producing was done from the business aspect of the music industry.
