Journal Question #28 (2010-2011)

Music - I don't know how I'd live without it: classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, folk, bluegrass, hip-hop, R&B, soul, gospel, and on and on - there's no end to the types of music in the world.  Is music important to you?  Do you have a favorite kind of music?  A favorite musician/singer?  When do you listen to music - and does the kind of music you listen to change according to time of day, season, mood, etc? Talk about music!

  2. I could never ever ever live without music. Music is such a important part of my life. I listen to music everyday, and I will get so upset without listening to the music. I have no favorite singers. I don't really care about the singers the only thing matters is that they say nice songs. I listen to all kinds of music. And the songs that I listen to the most is sad love songs.
    I do change the kind of music that listen to according to the weather of the day, and my mood. When summer comes or I am in good mood, I always listen to happy songs since I am really hyped. And when the weather is not so good like it is raining I would listen to some sad songs since that is the feeling the rain brings to me.
    On the other hand, I did chorus for more than 10 years. I think I really enjoyed doing it. By the way, I really want to learn to play the guitar right now!!!!

  3. In my opinion listen music is a very good thing to do.Because when I listened to music I felt, I'm very relaxing also when I doing homework some good music is a great tool for me to focus on the homework or project I'm working on, sometimes If I don't listen music while I doing my homework, I will feel crazy about it. But after I listen to the music, it can help me to solve the problem.
    Also I like to listen to the all different kinds of music because If I only listen one type of music, some times I will feel very boring.
    My favorite kinds of music is pop music, because the student in my age all like to listen this kind of music. Also I like to listen classical music too, Because some times after I lisitened to classical music I feel great. By the way the most national's nation anthem is classical music, all of them is great.

  5. Music is very important for me, i always need listen to music when i confused or tired. Cause a lot of words in the music can always say out your mind.I pick different time to listen to different kinds of music. Like before every basketball or football game, players always listen to some raps to get excited. And in fact, that's really work.Good music can really pop you up, and get you excited. but also when i am alone, i will listen to some quiet music like country. That help me to relaxing my mind.

  6. I love music!!!! I can not imagine my life without the music. I think the music is one of the best thing in the world, I love listen music all the time. I also think that doesn´t matter how you are, everybody can listen to music and enjoy it. My favorite kind of music is techno. My favorites Deejays, who are the artists that make techno music and they mix songs and this stuffs, are David Guetta and Calvin Harris, in my opinion they are the best Deejays in the world. David Guetta is from Paris France, he got a lot of awards and Calvin Harris he is from Scotland. Techno music is great for dance, and for have fun. This kind of music makes me happy.
    Also I love Spanish music, like the Flamenco. This kind of music it is just from Spain, and it is very different than techno music, but it is also really fun and cheerful.

  11. Music is one of important things to me. I like Classic, Pop , Ballad, RnB and Hip Hop. I love USUK/Korea/ Japan/ China and Vietnam music a lot. Acttually, the type of music which I listen depends on my feeling. When I'm happy I love to listen Pop, RnB or Hiphop but when I don't feel good, Classic as well as ballad are the best music for me. I have a lot of favorite singers: SS501, FTIsland,Twins and Wang Lee Hom, KAT-TUN, My Tam....(they are from Asia) and Jason Mraz. Music helps refresh myself and it also brings me a lot of friends who have the same interest with me.

  13. i cannot deny that music is one of the most important part in my life. especially the pop music. my classmates and i always chose ktv to have a party together. ktv is a place to sing in a small room only with your family or friends.
    i listen to the music on my way. i think it is a waste of time to stay in a car without music. some songs give me the energy and make me feel aggressive and energetic. some songs make me feel relax. there is a song called every one is number one is one of my favorite songs. it always let me stand up again when i feel disappointment or sad.
    now the most exciting part is coming! i'm going to talk about my favorite singer, my idol, tony sun! i love him so much and he is my only idol forever! i love both of his voice and personality. he does not have extreme good-looking face, and he is not very tall or strong. but in my mind, he is perfect. i have all his CDs. his music and his experience always encourage me to remember:there is a will, there is a way. try it and try it--just like him.

  15. I'm listening music now. It always singing something that I want to say. This a reason I love music. I don't have a favourite singer. When I want to listen music, what I want to hear, and play it to start to listen. Music is a good partner, It always with me Whether I am happy or sad. Of course I can help me to relax.
    I have the same idea with Jen,that Music helps refresh myself and it also brings me a lot of friends who have the same interest with me.

The music I listen to doesn't differ because of the time.

  17. Music is one of the most important things in my daily life. I can’t even live without music.
    I like lots of kinds of music. I like jazz, hip-hop, R&B, pop, and so on.
    Also, I have lots of favorite singers. I like Joanna Wang, Usher, Eminem, Rihanna, and I love Nirvana. They are totally different, but I like them all.
    I listen to music almost during the whole day. I listen to music in the morning to wake me up. I listen to music just for relax when I have lunch. I listen to music when I do my homework, although I know I am not supposed to do that. I listen to music when I try to go to sleep.
    Of course, the kind of music that I listen is changed according to time of day, season, especially mood. I listen to some loud music when I am not happy. And I listen to some relax music when the weather is good.
    Anyway, I love music. And I like to share music with others.

  20. Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I listen to music as many times as I breath. I love music, the rhythm, the melody and the intense emotion. You gain power, courage and happiness from all kinds of music. Like me, live in the Hobson House, when it's snow day, I always need to help my homestay shovel the hole garden and the road. It always take me 2 hours to shovel with wet clothes and tired, so I turn on my ipod and choose a rap music to help me go through that time. When I do my homework, I always choose a classical music such as Cannon or Blue Danube.
    I really like Black Eyed Peas, they have the special musical style and special musical instruments combination. That's why they lead the most fashionable music creation.
    That's a really nice topic of ELL Journal, thanks Mr.Griffin.

  21. I can't live without music!
    Especially since I came to U.S, my life is surrounding with music. When I am doing the worksheets in the class and homework at home, I always have earphone and my lovely ipod with me.
    However, the style I like depends on my mood. When I feel like I am exhausted, light music will be my first choice. When I am energetic, I will definitely choose hip-hop. Most of the time, I will dance with the music. Actually, that are some crazy movements rather than real dance.
    I don't have a specific signer I like most. We can't judge a song by its singer. Al long as it is a great song, I will love it. Personally, I hold the view that music can not only relax myself but also contribute to my study. Whenever I feel tired or have no idea about some problems, I will ask music for help.
    So I have 600 songs in my itunes so far. I would love to share my favorite music to everybody.
    In spring, I begin to practice piano everyday, which I gave up 8 years ago. I am full of confidence I can do it well.
    Anyway, Let's enjoy the music!

  22. I agree with Wenxi i could never ever live without music too. Music it is very important for me. I like listening music like rock music from Lincoln park and also i like backstreet boy. But i also like traditional music (classical music). Classical music make me feel relax the steps is very moderate. When i listen classical music i always close my eyes and stop think anything and just leave everything away and if i have a cup of green tea that will be best. I don't have so much music but i think all the music in my ipod are my favorite.

  23. Personally, i think the best way to relax is listen to the music. For myself, i often listen some musics burning my free time. My best favorite type of the song is March. When you are listening hundred of instruments that are playing concurrent, you are feeling impressive. Also i like listening classic music. When you feel really beat, then just listen it, it will lead you to another environment which is the most comfortable you have never felt. By the way, Pop music is one of my best favorite type too.

  24. LIve without music? no way. I can't imagine how I can live without music. I listen music for more than 3 hours per day. Music can help me relax and make me calm down. Also, I can get some idea when I'm listening to music. Music is my private "doctor".
    I listen to music depend on the weather and mood. In summer time, I prefer to country music and pop. In winter, rock is the best choice for me.
    I love music, but I don't like classical music. It's so boring.

  25. U wanna ask me about music? That's ur right choice. I'm the professor of the music in the Dorm. I've been playing sax for about several years. So I could leave my sax also I could't live without music. I have a speaker in my room, and I play it all day long even I'm not in my room.
    When I'm tried, I always lay on the bed and listen to the music. I like every kind of music such as classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues and so on. But I like jazz best. I'm in the Jazz Band right know, I love that feeling, which I'm a member of a band, the sound comes out of my sax can match with other instrument and can make a pretty peace of music. I love that.
