Music is something we all share in common, whether we like the same music or not is a little more complicated. In particular, I enjoy many different kinds of music. I enjoy Rap and dubstep most of all because, I truly believe it is a modernization of music through our generation. I feel that the music is a step forward in the industry, as far as, changing the way we feel towards music. It can be used in many different scenarios, and for many different types of emotions you have every day. When I’m working on my homework, it’s a great motivator too keep me going.

On a normal basis, I listen to pop music. This attracts me because the lyrics are catchy and they make you want to sing along with them. I like to hear the piano in most pop songs or the drums, they both play a big role in pop music. In my life music plays a big role. For example while I’m getting ready, or practicing, or in the car I constantly listen to music. Music does not help me study because it distracts me. Music is around me all day because it helps me get throughout the day.

I listen to many types of music. I really enjoy the music I listen to. I listen to pop. Hip hop. Rap. Theres many different generes that I listen to. I usually like the beat or what the song represents or the meaning. I really like what we do in the class and ho it educates me of the music we listen to. Really nice beat and things of that nature. This is a fun class and we learn about our music in a fun way.

I grew up listening to Hispanic music of all kind. From listening mother and father's music from their country, it led to me to hearing different Spanish pop and reggton music. Then with the influence of my friends, I've been hearing alternative music and pop music. From my family and friends, they've led me to be experienced with different kinds of music around the world. I've J-pop and K-pop from my sister's friends, rap from my friends in middle school, and today's hit in the present.

The types or genres of music I prefer listening to are house and trap. I listen to this type of music because each song has a unique rhythm and I enjoy the bass in this genre of music. I listen to music almost everyday. I listen to music just for enjoyment, or to pass time. I also use it when I'm running or training for sports. My family is influenced by music a lot. My dad listens to a lot of music and he used to play the guitar. My mom and dad also go to concerts which is different then just listening to music. All together music influences me a lot.
