This paper is a bit of an oddity for my research rather than give insight to my paper it shows the true disconnect we have to music. While some people seem to be born with the ability to sing and play music forming instruments may be the hardest task humans have given ourselves Pythagoras lived in the time where philosophers were expected to contribute a lot to society in the way of scientific discovery and his theorem being one of the biggest precursors to calculus shows he has some mathematical chops but when it came to music his experiments turned out to be wrong it was just a simple mathematical way to determine musical scale but when his experiments showed to have the wrong ratio using the same methods hundreds of years later it shows that people can have an aversion to something we consider to be so necessary to our species this was good for my paper because I can use it to show the disconnect of music and humans its bad because most of the paper was used to tell how all gigantic phenomenon can be boiled down to smaller aspects of life not a lot to do with music

Ian cross’ paper delves in to the same subject matter that I endear to write about for my final paper but with a focus on the cultural differences of music. While music is a basic part of mankind it can become separate cultural memes for the best way to break this down to laymen terms is by using heavy meatal music as the base while that is a genre used all over the world if you ask a metal head the different types they may say Icelandic metal German metal or japan metal. These can go beyond the language they are written for the people that live in these areas so Ian postulates that music became so diversified because we used it to fill a need or to help people socialize based on the common likes of the area. This is good for my paper because it shoes me how someone else tackled the subject matter and other things I can focus on to help get my point across its bad for me because Ian views on music’s evolution differ from my own and I can’t look into it too much or I might make more of a copy then a original paper

Depression affects 6% of elderly people in the world while younger people can take drugs or see a therapist on a weekly seclude this may not be a option for the weak and frail a good way to confront this would be a therapeutic activity that can be used anywhere by anyone best choice is music therapy a specific 8 treatments were designed and used then reported in serval case studies showing decent if not completely change in condition for those involved although this is just a way to treat the symptoms not the whole disorder it is also more intensive taking in to account patient history major problem areas and history with music. It also needs to have a technique from one of the eight developed and a clear music choice as to achieve the most effective result the case studies treated people having suicidal tendencies lack of sleep and uncontrollable crying this is good because it again shows we have a great link to music but it’s bad because psychology is on the edge of pseudoscience and can be changed based on person and time period like nothing Freud said is considered legitimist anymore.

Memory for Music: Effect of Melody on Recall of Text uses four experiments to fully understand the role music plays in our memory process the first had 64 students write down phrases ether spoken or sung with the song version memorized better. The next had the verses spoken rhythmically with a beat in the background. this rhythmic beat had higher recall then the songs from the first experiment. The third Contradicting what was found to be true in the first experiment, it saw only one verse spoken with the melody and the fourth was made to clarify this contradictive data by be as confusing as possible: one of the three verses would be sung or spoken to the original melody or all three verses would be sung to three different melodies and it showed that the strongest way for the verse to be recalled is if it is all set to the same melody. This is good for my paper because it shows that even though something is set to music does not mean we remember it better it need to be groped like the rest of our brain common information put together its bad because it’s a lot of information and I may get lost in it

This video has a man playing what is considered to be the oldest written song that we can find from the 1400 century. Now considering it takes a lot of effort to carve words in to stone that can last at least 3500 years it should be safe to assume that this was a fairly significant piece of music to this culture. I have no idea of the instruments time frame or how well the musician can play but if it is at all what it is meant to sound like we can see a stark change in music from then to today, as this does not fit into any current genre. We know instruments have not always existed it is not a great logical leap to say that vocal music was different too and with such a dramatic change in just 3500 years’ music from the beginning of humanity may be completely unrecognizable. This is good for my paper because it helps me prove a point that music may have needed another push to evolve with humans its bad because if this is the furthest back I can go I may not completely prove this to everyone.

this article explains a study in which 71 kids 35 in the control group 36 were given the variable. the kids were given supplementary music lessons as well as their regular classes for all of the time they were in school the kids came from a varied set of backgrounds including race income and number of parents in the household the results from these classes showed an improvement with the kids that received the music lessons. in fact, the majority of the kids that were given a pretest and a posttest scored better if they were given the music lessons. No information is given about behavior of the kids in class this experiment is good for my paper because it describes one more reason early people would latch on to music and help it progress to the point it is today this papers bad for me because this is aa logic jump that assumes music has always had this effect even in primitive form.

The article talks about the physical reaction to music 83 people were given a questionnaire to identify specific physical reactions to music that came out in the last five years from 1991 they talked about the specific physical phenomenon that they experienced how many times they heard the music and based off this when they felt the sensation. they then talked about the triggers for physical responses. finally, subjects were given set pieces of music to listen to and with the accompanying graph it becomes clear that a lot of people can get the same reaction form a music selection this is good for my paper because it talks about the physical power of music. It also shows how even people with different tastes in music can still be moved in the same way by it. its bad because it only talks about modern music and not about how people latched on to music when it was nowhere near the form it’s in today
