Everyone has experience in music! Every member of this class has participated in a musical activity, either as a performer or listener. This assignment asks you to share your musical experiences and opinions. In a short assignment of at least one hundred words, I would like you to write about the role music has in your life. When did you discover that you liked certain music while working out?

Have you ever learned to play an instrument, sung at school or church, or driven your family crazy drumming on everything around you?

For your first Opry Assignment, please answer the below questions on a word document, followed by a three paragraph review of the show.  Please be detailed in your review, and avoid comments like “it was good, I like country music.”  What did you think of the lyrics and song subject matter?  Or the instrumentations? Even the clothes of the performers?  Did anything surprise you?  You are not required to like the show; in fact explaining your dislike would make for an interesting review. OPRY QUESTIONS: What group opened and closed the show? When did this group officially join the Grand Ole Opry? What are a few of the places that host Bobby Bones mentioned they have played? Why does co-host Natalie Stovall host certain segments of the Opry?  What else is happening while she is on camera? What circle does Michael Ray talk about, and why is it significant? How was the recording of Michael Ray’s third album different in COVID times? What song do Maddie and Tae open their set with? What major life event have both Maddie and Tae gone through in the past few years about (and written a song about)? had Maddie and Tae not been able to do with their latest #1 Hit, “Can You Die From a Broken Heart?” What song does the opening group close the show with?

In this 1500-word paper, you must answer the following question: ‘‘How is rhythm used in the control of tension and repose?’’ The purposes of this assignment are to provide you with an early opportunity to check your understanding of the role of a major musical element in generating tension, and to allow you to write descriptively and analytically about music to which you have listened. Providing that you submit Assignment 1 on schedule, there is ample time for feedback before the next, more complex, assignment. Assignment 1 also allows your tutor to make a preliminary assessment of your writing and thinking skills. That assessment will enable him or her to assist you in your later assignments. Assignment 1 should be written as a short essay that cites print and audio sources. Consult ‘‘Tips on Essay Writing’’ in the course manual (link on top section of main course page) for guidance on how to construct the paper. You can also visit the AU Write Site. Use only the Funes textbook and its associated recordings; this assignment is not a research paper. When complete, submit your paper to your tutor for marking and comments.
