No doubt, being a musician has become their career and many of them have been

Music was made from pure instruments, voice and talent and now we can make our voices look good with the thing called auto-tune in the studio. and musical instruments are not the only source of music theres a thing called launchpad that creates music like a piano but its a small box/pad. Its cool how one thing leads to another and i hope this isn't the end of music evolution. ✓ Reaction ✓ While making this paper i took a ride through history of music and saw how it evolved its truly amazing how far we came. started from the bottom now were here. started from big CDs now we use earphones. from MP3 to smartphones. but me i like classics and i don't want to depend much on the technology even though I'm really close to become a robot, i still use big CDs to listen to classic OPM. with every technology improvement comes another revolution in everything.

The 2013 musical hit, “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke, brought in approximately $16,675,690. This just goes to show how much money is spent and invested on, in music today (Feeney). Music has been apart of the United States culture for some time, while African Americans were enslaved, they used music quite frequently as a means of self- expression. The African music combined with the European music had a major influence on jazz. During the Civil War the troops created music together, this helped them learn how to work together and better understand how to get along, this just goes to show that music is not just a form of entertainment but also a way to bring people together (Carlin 6,9).
We have had music throughout history, and it has changed yet stayed the same. What I mean by this is that even though music is constantly evolving and has throughout history, its always been there. I hope that music is something that we will always have in life to connect us. No matter the
The entertainment industry encompasses the composition, production, and marketing of music. The music industry has emerged as a dominant business and has maintained popularity by means of adapting alongside social movements, and representing different major classes of society. Music has been used by entertainers as a method of expression, and therefore often sheds light on prominent issues by illustrating relatable stories, or reactions to common problems. For example, The Drums, a modern Indie musical group, has composed the lyrics to the hit song “Money” to include imagery and repetition that work to expose the everyday struggle that impoverished Americans undergo.
Technologies go out of style, but they all have the same purpose. The technologies go out of style because the needs of the people and society
Music is a way of expressing feelings and is made for celebrations, entertainment, and dancing. Music is a great way to connect with others. Leading up to the 1920s, the most popular kinds of music were classical, opera, and ragtime; classical music is symphonic, usually with a full orchestra, opera is a form of theater where a song tells a story through lyrics, and ragtime has a syncopated or ragged rhythm. There are many forms of music aside from these three, but those genres of music helped pave the way for how music is in the 1920s and up to today.
In music, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Buddy Holly and Marvin Gaye were the most prolific people on the world stage. Marlon Brando, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe ruled the cinematic stage. However, the major highlight of this era was the dawn of technologies involvement in our life. Radio, television and all electronics in general no longer became wants but needs. Once somebody owned one they were aware of everything happening around them, knew what’s hot and what’s not and could be easily persuaded to buy the newest vacuum cleaner model or dress from the shops.
Music has been around since the very beginning and has played roles both big and small in many different cultures. In American culture music is only growing each and every day with new artist and new types of music coming into the culture. Music can be complex but it can also be as simple as beating a foot to the ground. Gilbert Galindo a music composer writes about the importance of music in American culture in his article, The Importance of Music in our Society, “Art and music are basic human functions; humankind and art cannot function without on another” (Galindo, 1). If one were to think about this, truly think about it, they would see that it is true; humans cannot live without music.
Singers are auto tuned and their music is just bland. Music now is passionless and it seems that it’s only use is for money. That not was music should be for. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against artist earning money from their jobs, but money shouldn’t be the main focus. What happened to artist actually caring about the quality music they put out?
The music industry is an entertainment business and with almost any entertainment business there is some sort of corruption either known to the public or at times hidden. The music world is currently going through a transitional period of it’s payment model and how the artist and producer of a song gets paid. Producers are not being paid or credited by record labels and artists because of the position there being put in in the industry; they need to come together and find methods to license/contract there work and also raise awareness. The new model that the music industry is transitioning to is the streaming model.
The largest threat to the industry is still the piracy, which is responsible for the loss of millions of an industry. They are available and free, and everyone prefers to find something without paying. Music is remaining as the first form of entertainment around the world and it will be. Porter five forces analysis in this industry allows us to show the strategies that are important for develop the
Hail the human race, but I never knew a person can gyrate their body part of their body with such vigor and dedication such as I see today. I doubt if whether Elvis Presley were to wake up today he would do a gig with Justin Bieber or Shakira and go home celebrating how they fired up the place. Or would he go home complaining how the song lacked harmony, or they were too synthetic or lacked a particular instrument? I don’t for a second doubt whether The Beatles and Lady Gaga would find common ground when it comes to rebellion and controversy, but would share the same platform. Disappointingly, this new crop of musician will always find a way to get inspired by a Diana Ross, a Michael Jackson, or an Elvis Presley.
Progression of Technology After the 1940s technology rapidly advanced. The progression in technology has made things more convenient and more efficient. Along with a great appreciation of technology came negative ideas and conflicts. Nicholas Carr’s “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”
Music. It is everywhere. Whether it is the tapping of a table or the hum of a bored person, it is impossible to deny its existence. Music can be defined as vocal or instrumental sounds that are combined to make a harmony, rhythm, melody and/or pattern. It comes in many way, shapes, and forms.
The music industry is one of the biggest creative industries in the world, combing different features of the business to produce and sell music to an audience of people . The development of the industry has evolved on a very large scale since the 19th century, when it was the printed sheet music being the leading product. Moving forward with society's technological progression, in the 20th century, the way we were listening to music was changing with it becoming ubiquitous. When record labels began to emerge, they were producing and selling more music Music has become one of the most popular and influential forms of entertainment in our world today.
Introduction The music industry has been experiencing many changes for decades. According to Tschmuck (2003:130), the industry has gone through three main “paradigmatic cultural changes”. The first change the industry experienced was in the 1920s with the introduction of the commercial radio which impacted mainly the promotional methods typically used. Then, in the 1950s the advent of rock ’n ’roll enabled more than 200 independent record companies to enter the market making the industry highly competitive.
