Hip-Hop (Scroll down for Essentials List) The Hip-Hop forum is attempting to be a source of actual discussion of music unlike most of sputnikmusic.com's forums. If you feel out of the loop check the stickied threads as they provide more information for people just getting into the genre. Please try to keep spamming to a minimum. Granted there is going to be a lot of discussion of awesome lyrics and great beats so extended discussions are encouraged just try to keep them somewhat on focus.

the democratic music revolution For the record, we at Cherrypeel oppose anything that would have a chilling effect on freedom of speech and therefore we outright oppose SOPA. We know not whether it will become signed into law, but the message has been received quite loud and clear: the guilded-era of unencumbered proliferation of UGC is likely over and while we stand in support of our brothers and sisters who continue to fight in opposition of SOPA, we have chosen to take a different tactic in response. It is time for us to adapt and change, rather than fight a losing battle with large, multinational corporations who posses extensive legislative influence. Historically, oppressive government measures have engendered large underground subcultures that have led to some of the greatest flourishes of artistic creativity in history.

What Connected Learning Truly Promotes Might Surprise You Technology has entered society like a massive, happy storm, and left few things unaffected. It was only a generation ago that technology took the form of cordless phones, cable television, and the soul-deleting wizardry of the digital clock. Today there are mobile supercomputers shrunk down to the size of an index card in the pocket of students, a staggering reality that’s easy to take for granted.

Teaching senior students how to write a musical analysis Of the three musical assessment areas – performing, composing, and analysing repertoire – it’s the last one which invariably takes up the most lesson time, and the one which my students seem to have the most trouble with. My analysis assessments generally involve an extended written task or a formal exam, where they have to write an essay of several hundred to a thousand words. In order to let them analyse a work in as much detail as possible, I will generally give them only one question in the exam, or a choice between two or three in an extended written task. Where possible, they will be provided with both a score and a sound recording of a musical work, and the question they must answer will require them to gather evidence primarily, if not solely, from those resources. The presentation has several objectives: firstly, it aims to help students take the elements of music, and pull out as much information as possible from the score about each one of them, one at a time.
