I can relate my topic with economics i do think that musicians should get paid because they are taking time and effort to make new songs. Without them getting paid I think that we wont be able to listen to new music.I think that if we had no music then we would have concerts and we would make no profit with the artists who are singing. On September 24 there was a economic proposal in which there was a 3 % of reduction of pay in two years for all the artists singers . Musicians must accept a 20 % reduction in pay and benefits, and a 10 % reduction in salary. I think that musicians should get paid fairly for all of there hard work it is what they want to do they have been working really hard to make there dream come true it is there career. Everyone loves musicians they should get paid but some truly struggle to accept that the artists should get paid economically.

Interdisciplinary post
Now I don't study music now, but some of my classes in High school have some relationship with the music and how it made people get inspired like in US History. Back in the civil war music was made by African Americans. They sang about their life in the camp grounds where they were, how much they missed home, and how they were treated by their generals also by other soldiers. Also many Americans made song to cheer up their crew at war. There are many songs that now are considered great song even though many people don't think so. I really didn't know that back during the civil war the soldiers would inspire each other to fight until to win the war.

Accordion nusic
The Accordion
German immigrants came to Texas in the mid-1800 and settled
in Central Texas in towns like German Belt. They brought their language,
culture and traditional music; they made contact with the Mexican Americans.
Later on they moved to the South and Northern Mexico to work the fields and in
the construction of railroad lines. They brought with them their accordion to
play their waltzes and polkas.
The accordion has traditionally been used to perform folk,
popular music, and transcriptions from the operatic and light-classical music
repertoire. Today the instrument is sometimes heard in contemporary pop styles,
such as rock, pop-rock, and so on.
Occasionally even in serious classical music concerts, as well as advertisements.
The accordion is also used in a conjunction which is like jazz, blues, and rock
and roll; it has a mayor impact in the Mexican American on the community of the
United States. The accordion can express more sound and notes than other
instruments.
The accordion was invented in 1829. The instrument has
always been associated with the common people than with the more wealthy
people. The accordion became popular because this instrument is much louder
than all the older folk instruments put together. It can be heard in even the wildest pub above
the stomping of dancing feet. The instrument doesn't need no tuning and was
always is ready to be played. Even if you played a key wrong it didn't matter
because it still sounded right. The accordion is used in almost every country
and has a significant role in its music tradition.
I have tried to play the accordion before, but I didn't know
what I was doing so I didn't like it. I also carried it and it was heavy for me
well probably because I was younger. I have admired how people can play it and
have a passion for playing it. The accordion has been for many years now and
has a great popularity even though in some point it decreased, but somehow it’s
managed to rise its popularity up again.

Music therapy
What is music therapy? How does it helps
people all around the world? Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based. In
the clinic, they do music interventions to accomplish individualized goals
within therapy. This is all organized by a credentialed professional who has
completed an approved music therapy program. Here are some ways that therapy can
help you out promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, express feelings,
enhance memory, improve communication, promote physical rehabilitation. All of
the listed above is all what therapy is about. Does anyone know what American Music Therapy Association
is? Well, it is for people who are professionals, associates, students, inactive
people, or if you have retired. Well, guess what? Almost about 3,800 people are attending
at this kind of therapy.
Music therapy can help so many
people out, doesn't matter what kind of problems that you have. Nothing matters, just keep in mind that you will receive treatment just by going to a music
therapy. Music therapy can help many people with physical, emotions, and also
social needs of individuals. The professionals look to try and
help people with any kind of trouble. Once
the therapist has seen the client, then they try to make them feel welcome and
put on calm music. He then tells his clients to sing to the song and tries to
make them do some kind of movement to try and communicate with the song. Music
therapy can also be for communicating, sometimes people find it difficult to
express their feelings with words.
How do we know that therapy actually
works? Overall, the physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement,
increasing people's motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing
emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for
expression of feelings. This is a way that we know that music therapy is working. People get involved and like how music therapy works. This is a solid treatment.
In conclusion, I think that music
therapy can help so many individuals. This can let all your mixed emotions and
feelings out. I agree that music therapy helps so many people out in any kind
of situation.

Music I enjoy
I can almost support any kind of genres of music, but I truly enjoy hearing R&B, rap, hi hop, dub step(also in violin version), reggae, rock, and country. I also hear music in Spanish like rap, banda, reggae, pop, rock, and recodillos. Two of these words might not seem familiar like banda and recodillos because the are Spanish words. Banda is like country, but with a different rhythm. Recodillos are like cartel type music they talk about like how life is in the cartels. I really don't like reggaeton, salsa, and heavy metal. I don't judge anyone that hears different type of music because I think that everyone has the right to hear what they want. I have different types of friends that even hear music that I don't like. I use to hear reggaeton, but later I realized that the genre wasn't really for me so I quit hearing it.

Sólo tú le das brillo y Amor a mi
Corazón.
Sólo tú me miras con tanta pureza y
belleza interior.
Sólo tú llenas de Alegría a mi Alma.
Sólo tú conoces mis secretos, deseos y
anhelos.
Sólo tú me transmites calor con tus
manos.
Sólo tú me das fuerzas para seguir
viviendo.
Sólo tú me hablas con tanta dulzura.
Sólo tú me escuchas con tanta
paciencia.
Sólo tú me acaricias con tanta
delicadeza.
Sólo tú me besas con tanta ternura.
Sólo tú me comprendes con tanta
sutileza.
Sólo tú haces que me sienta el Ser más
Feliz del Universo.
Sólo tú me das tanta seguridad en mí
misma.
Sólo tú me calmas y tranquilizas cuando
estoy mal.
Sólo tú eres el que puede entrar en mi
Corazón y en mi Ser.
Sólo tú me abrigas cuando tengo frío.
Sólo tú eres y serás el Dueño de mi
Corazón.
Sólo tú eres mi Sueño hecho realidad.
Sólo tú eres y serás el que me ama y me amará
siempre.
Sólo tú eres al que amo y amaré eternamente!
As you give brightness and Love to my Heart.

Only with you transmitted me warm your hands.
Only you give me strength to continue living.
As you talk to me so sweetly.
As you listen to me so patiently.
Only you as gently caress me.
As you kiss me so tenderly.
Only you understand me so subtly.
Only you make me feel the Universe Be Merry.
Only you give me such confidence in myself.
Just you calm down and calm me when I'm wrong.
Only you are the one who can come into my heart and
in my Being
As you cherish me when I'm cold.
Only you and be the Master of my Heart.
Only you are my dream come true.
Only you and be the one who loves me and will
always love me.
Only you who I love and love forever!

The flute
Back in elementary I played the flute in begging band and later in advanced band. I found that instrument interesting and I decided to play it. There was another girl that played it. I enjoyed playing it, but some times it was hard to learn how to play a new song and get use to it. The key to getting to learn how to play or be a good player it to practice even though you make get tired of practicing or giving a headache to someone else. I stopped playing it until 8th grade. I wanted to keep on playing it, but I wanted a little rest of playing an instrument. A year later I wanted to continue playing it, but I didn't because I had already forgot what every key on it was for. Playing it left me a great experience that later I can tell it to probably my kids. It's really hard to get the air out after a while playing it and especially when you have to play a long or very hard song. Well I just wanted to share with you guys that I played an instrument.

Short Story
Once upon a time there was a girl who was in love with a
band called one direction. For Christmas she received a concert ticket from Santa
it was for September when she found out she turned around and
started crying. She didn't know what to
do so she went online and started looking for clothes that she can wear. Then when
she was getting the tickets so that she can conserve them in her room she found
out that there was two tickets. That was when she was confused and she read a
letter that was on the box saying that she had to take her little sister or
take her older brother. When she heard that she knew exactly who to take because
she knew that her brother would annoy her and tell her that the concert was
boring so she asked her sister that was when she found out that she doesn't like
one direction but she would rather her because she won’t be annoying. Well 8
months passed by and it was time to take a trip with the whole family she was
the happiest person ever and the best thing is that she got front row tickets. She
was at the concert with her little sibling when they got her hand and took up
to the stage she started crying and singing along with them. That was one of
her biggest dreams and thanks to Santa her dream became reality later on she received
a tweet from them asking her if she would like to travel and go on tour with
them of course she had to accept.
