Pop Music – History And Facts Revealed

Posted on by blogger

One genre that appeals to most everyone is pop music owing to its light and catchy qualities. Pop music is so aptly called because it is a categorization that is largely based on the popularity of a song. There is no clear and distinct parameters to classify a song as pop music. For the most part, its popularity should translate to records sold and radio air times.

Pop music is a combination of various styles influenced by the evolving music forms. The development of pop music is one that is progressive, rolling over from generation to generation to snowball into its current form. As this is so, pop music has taken so many forms through each decade to reflect the musical preference of a particular generation.

Rich Vocals
During the 50s, popular tunes were those that were vocally rich with a string accompaniment and a vocal chorus back up. Country music and American folk music were great hits along with variations of standard formats. Great American songbook classics, crooners and big band singers adopted other musical techniques to give their music a modern twist. The listening public lapped these enhancements up and caused songs like Mack the Knife and Singing the Blues to top the charts. In contrast to these classics, rock and roll likewise rocked the American music industry with fast and infectious beats of Rock Around the Clock, Heartbreak Hotel, and Tutti Fruitti. These tunes not only rocked the airwaves, they also rocked the dance floors.

All in the Band
The next decade brought in what is called as the novelty song characterized by humorous lyric combined with melodies that are simple yet catchy (i.e. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, California Girls, and Good Vibrations). Worthy of note is the fact that the vocal harmonies and lyrics of these songs revolved around Californias surf, girls and cars. Thus the label Surf pop. Other popular music during the sixties were youth-oriented band music in up-tempo beat, I Want to Hold Your Hand,Cant Buy Me Love, Downtown, and To Sir With Love.” African American music likewise joined the popular music scene with its doo-wop style that gives prominence to melodic sounds and vocal harmonies. Rhythm and blues as well as Motown soul music were also chart-toppers during this period.

Cacophony of Sounds
From the 1970s to the present, pop music is as diverse as they come. A slowdown in musical tempo was seen in the early seventies when folk-based artists took center stage. Popular during these times were songs written by the singers themselves. Tempos picked up again towards in the second half of the decade when disco-dancing became a favorite pastime among the youth. Dance tunes Play That Funky Music, Staying Alive, and YMCA dominated the airwaves and the disco scene.

The 1980s and 1990s music scene was composed of music soundtracks, international hits, rock and roll, and pop icon duets. Another music development in this decade is the advent of charity records where artists put their talents together to raise funds for a cause. Particularly characteristic of the last two decades are the prevalence of songs by female artists like Mariah Carrey, Celine Dion, and pop icon Madonna. The new millennium kept with soulful ballads, hip hop pieces and dance tracks. Movie soundtracks remained chart-toppers.

Pop music is a genre that will always be around. People will always listen to music and music labels and radio stations will continue to track what songs people are listening to. For as long as people are playing and listening to music, there will always be a chart-topper.

Kids personalized CDs have become popular source of entertainment and education for children. At the same time they are the stimulating agent to generate genuine interest for music in the kids.

Teaching Music in Groups

Children enjoy company of their peers and they learn quicker and better when they are surrounded by other children during their music lessons. The pre-schools should encourage the children to develop friendship with others and get along with them to share their unspoken pleasure of learning music together. Children should be taught through kids personalized CDs, which are specially customized and developed to stimulate children’s natural interest in learning and playing music.

Music Education in a Playful Environment

The activity that kids enjoy most during their pre-school days is playing together. Hence, the games are the bet way how one can generate children’s interest in any specific activity. Even when it comes to music, if the lessons are taught in a playful and cheerful environment, they become more enjoyable for the kids and they develop interest in learning it.

Why music is essential for Happy, Successful Kids

Posted on by blogger

Parents want the best for their kids. Every parent wants his or her child to be healthy, successful and happy. Instilling music training back into the lives of children is vital for their future success as leaders. Learning music develops areas of a child that are not developed any other way.

I am a parent, music teacher and author of the Freddie the Frog Book series. The sole purpose of the creation and existence of Freddie the Frog is encapsulated in this impulsive quote by a six-year-old,

“I LOVE Freddie. Thats why I love music!”

Why is it important that kids love music? Music training is essential to the development of successful humansour children. The next generation is doomed to mediocrity without it. We are at a critical time in our current generation’s creative development of future leaders. Those that are creative and bright in all areas will be our next leaders. Those who leave development of intentional creative processing out of education will only be human factory workers of others’ creative thoughts. Music and the arts develop and intentionally exercise creativity. Music does it best.

Freddie the Frog is the mascot of music education for kids in the school system. Millions of kids in the U.S., Canada, and Australia love Freddie through their music teacher at school. Now it is time to reach the masses. The Freddie the Frog adventures originated to provide an accessible and entertaining form of music education for use at school and home. Freddie is alive and well in the schools. Now it is time to bring him into the homes. Why is it important to bring music into the homes?

Contemplate the current state of physical exercise compared to 20, 30,40 years ago and beyond. There was no need for scheduled and intentional physical exercise before the 1980s. Physical exercise was part of our daily lives. A generation of obesity crept into humanity until critical mass made evident that intentional exercise was essential for physical fitness and health. Exercise equipment, gyms, clubs, DVDs, etc. is a profitable and growing market as humanity strives to stay in shape in todays society.

In past generations, singing and playing instruments was an integral part of family life. It was the natural way to entertain yourself and others. We did not realize it, but we were also exercising our brain while we played, causing us to be creative, more vibrant, smarter, etc. To create leaders of the next generation, we need to focus on developing the whole brain. We can change the trend with intentional music training involving interactive music experiences from the earliest years and up–involving kids in the creative process rather than just passive consumers and critics. Freddie the Frog adventures are an easy way to begin. Breathing life into the creative minds and souls of our children– the next generation of leaders.

Every Child Needs Music

Why Music? Humans are “wired” for music. Until recently, scientists did not know how music affected the brain. The technology allows scientists to actually “see” brain activity via PET scans and MRI imaging scanning the blood flow in the brain. Our brains are “wired” with neural pathways. Most activities only cause a portion of the brain to “light up” with activity; thus, the saying, right brain/left brain, etc. But there are actually four parts to the brain and music makes ALL of the areas “light up” and create new neural pathways as a person is learning and playing an instrument. Those neural pathways remain in tact and can be used for other things besides music.

Music causes the mind to think smarter and creatively.

How? When playing music, the mind chooses how fast or slow to play, with what style, rhythm, phrasing, and feeling. It also tells the fingers when to move, reads and memorizes. When playing music, you do ALL of this at the SAME TIME!

The more you play, the more you exercise your mind. The exercised mind thinks better, making a student smarter.
A universal high percentage of band, choir, or orchestra members consistently remain in the top 10% percentile academically year after year.
Studies show that music training profoundly affects brain development.
Students learning music are not smarter because they like music; they are smarter because they PLAY music.
Music is one of the very few whole brain activities, engaging all four parts of the brain! The only other functions that use both hemispheres are higher-level mathematics and logic processing, such as chess. All other tasks rely on the dominant use of either the left or right brain.

Every Child Deserves the Multiple Benefits of Music

Read more about our phenomenal brain and music

Daniel Levitin passionately explores the connection between Music and the Brain in his book of the same name. Google his name, watch video clips on YouTube, or go to his website. Music has a huge impact on activity in the brain. The implications for music therapy and music education are profound. Just check out PBS video “The Music Instinct.” Its an exciting time of discovering how little we know and how much there is to learn. There is definitely enough evidence to recognize it is not in this music teachers imagination.

If you are still skeptical about the need for music instruction in development, lets look at the other benefits.
Socially, music is an ageless hobby creating interaction with a caliber of people that we all want our children to become.
Striving for excellence is a given in a musical group. Everyone has to perfect their part for the group to perform at their bestNObody “sits on the bench.” Everyone has to pull their weight or the whole group suffers.
Creativity, especially in jazz groups is developed, honed and embraced. Who couldnt use more creativity in their workforce? Creativity is what makes the difference and gives any company the cutting edge.

There are many benefits of being involved in making music. Scientists are reluctant to state that playing a musical instrument makes you smarter, but all the indicators are there, so lets look at it from the opposite angle.

Instead of trying to prove that music makes you smarter or good for you and your child, try to prove that it is not. I cant think of a single reason how learning a musical instrument is detrimental, can you?
Give your child every opportunity and advantage you can. Involve them in music lessons and watch them grow and mentally develop as they play, create, express, and struggle through the rigors of the discipline mastering an instrument. You will discover a more creative, brighter and mature person in the making.

Since these boxes are sometimes flimsy, they must be reinforced with by placing hot glue around the inside bottom edge of the box (side and bottom) and them allowing it to harden. Next, just apply a heavy layer of Tacky glue to the inside sides of the box and let them dry.

Step Two: using a paintbrush, paint box and lid with the ivory acrylic paint. Paint the beads with medium pink.

Step Three: Cut one strip from the net ribbon, 15 ? X 2 “, and one 4 ” circle. Using the thin-bodied Tacky glue, laminate net ribbon strip to side of box, lining up top edge.

Step Four: Using your industrial strength glue, glue square of wood to inside center front of box bottom to which musical movement will be glued. Allow to dry.

Step Five: To mark the hole position for the winding-key shaft, place musical movement inside box at front center (seam is at back). Draw a line around the musical movement. Remove musical movement and place a dot of paint on winding-key shaft. Press the musical movement, winding-key shaft side down, back in the box. Remove the musical movement and drill a ” hole in box, centering winding-key shaft in the hole.

Step eight: Wind the wind key extender onto the winding key. Wind the wind key extender onto the winding-key shaft so music can play. Place a bunny with magnet on top of the mirror. Place the tree at the center back of box and remaining bunnies on each side of the tree. Move the tree and bunnies so the dancing bunny does not bump into them. When they are in the right position, glue them on with a small amount of industrial-strength glue. Make sure excess glue does not seep from under the figurines and onto the mirror.

Making music boxes does not have to be difficult. With a little creativity and imagination, the music box and antique collector can create their own collection!
