Country of origin: India. Thoughts and emotions: My thoughts about the song were it was a very tender, beautiful ballad with a slight beat to it that you can dance to fast. The emotions that I felt while I listened to this song were peace, joy, romance, and love. Elements:  The piano sounded smooth, soft, peaceful, and mellow at the beginning of the song, the drums gave the song a great tempo, the guitar was perfect for the melody, and the strings gave it a nice blend. Each of these instruments combined together make it an enjoyable piece to both listen and dance to. Each instrument overall featured in the song made me feel inspired to never give up on love, and to take a chance when I get the opportunity.

My Innovations and evolutions assignment

 For this assignment I chose for an instrument the saxophone. I went to two different websites which were 1. Liveabout.com and 2. Yamahamakewaves for my research on the history of when it was created, and the origin, and how this particular instrument was used. The saxophone was first invented by Adolphe Sax on June 28, 1846, in Paris, France. Sax was a musical instrument designer born in Belgium from 1814- 1894. The saxophone was always made of brass since it's first invention, but because of it's principles of sound, is classified as a wood wind instrument such as the clarinet or flute. How is it played?

Bridgett's first blog

  My name is Bridgett McHenry. All of my life from my early childhood years, I have been a great fan of music. I grew up liking and listening to different styles of music, but my most favorite to listen to is R&B. What I like about this particular style of music is that it's fun to dance to. The rhythm and beat to a popular song can be fast paced or slow if you are in a romantic mood. An example would be like the 1970's classic hit movie, "Saturday Night Fever" starring John Travolta or the more romantic ballad, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. Both songs are good to dance to with your spouse or mate. If you want to "get your groove on", R&B is a popular style to dance or listen to. My favorite R & B group of all time is Earth, Wind, And Fire, and my favorite song from this particular group is "September".   September by Earth Wind & Fire - https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk https://myfavoritekindofmusic.blogspot.com...
