Q4 Blog #14: Memory5/20/2018
Reflection:
Memory, however, is not always perfect. Sometimes, I would get a note incorrectly or play it at the wrong length or volume. Muscle memory makes so that whatever you're doing become automatic. For example when I play the viola, sometimes I could play songs or scales that I practiced enough to develop muscle and play it automatically. Other instances, could be typing or texting that people do basically like a robot. Other activities like walking, running, or writing we have developing a muscle memory and could it like a machine. We take those skills for granted. If you were to lost these basic abilities, life would be much more difficult, but anyone would adapt to these changes.

Q4 Blog #13: Tempo5/5/2018
Reflection:
This past few weeks I have learned about how time is affected in music. The ideas of tempo and timing are fundamental in playing any piece of music well. How fast or slow the music is played affects how it will sound and how listeners can differentiate it from other piece of music. Timing is also important in one's everyday life as well. How we get some done and for how long you do it. For example, if you are multitasking and trying to get many things done at once, it would be important to know precisely when you will get it done to maximize efficiency of time. Time is a fundamental measurement of the passage of well, existence that is in an irreversible direction. But even time could be relative to different people. It is commonly said that time passes faster when you're having fun and slower when you dwell on it. This definitely feels to be true no mater how you ask. Ultimately, humans have been on the Earth for a few hundred years, however Earth has been around for billions of years. The average human today lives to be around 70, so in the whole scale of the Universe we are but a fraction of time and space. |
