 For this blog post I decided to do rock and roll. I listen to machine gun Kelly and I am not exactly sure what genre that would go under but maybe like rock. This genre originated in the United States.  the typical instruments that make up rock is and electric guitar and electric drum. When I think of rock and roll I think of hard core instruments. When I learn a specific topic I always want to know what the first is. in this case I wanted to learn what the first ever rock and roll song was . The first ever rock and roll song was rocket 88 written by Ike turner.  Rock and roll started by at the time of the Great Migration. Africans were brought to the cities near the north when soon they would make would start making music. As more shows were being performed and the crowd grew and grew. The person who started rock and roll was Chucky Berry,  people claimed that he was the one who started it because he had all of the elements together that fit the category of ro...

For this blog I chose to do my mom. My mom was born in the mid 1960”s so that is when all the good songs were out. I asked my mom what was her first memory of music?

The first instrument that I researched was the drums. The drums is Africas main instrument that plays.  I also enjoy playing the drums for fun or just simply listening to the drums .  I personally feel like that the drums Is what makes a song a song and it makes the listener be engaged.

When I went to this around the world thing for church. There was different people from across the world and they were using that exact instrument it is always interesting to watch instruments being played beautifully. This instrument I guess could be common because it is easy to use so any age you can use it. This is not also admiring of how children of that culture can use it but of how mesmerizing it sounds. Another interesting instrument is one of the instruments that has been around the longest. Thi...
