What IS Music Appreciation?  

CLASS ACTIVITY : EVERYBODY TAKE 3 MINUTES TO FIND A DEFINITION OF "MUSIC APPRECIATION" 

TRY TO GET 5 DIFFERENT ONES  AS A CLASS I.E. LET'S NOT ALL USE THE FIRST ON ON GOOG!
Picture
Picture
How do we define "Music Appreciation"  ...OR..... What does it mean to "Appreciate" Music? 
SO....

What we are really trying define  "Appreciation" when it comes to Music

Is this the same as how we might "appreciate" our families?  
Is this the same as the value of an old car or a  baseball card "appreciating"


Questions:
How do we as individuals appreciate a music? 


How do we show our appreciation for music?  

and...


HOW CAN WE DO IT BETTER?

Using Music : How do we Use it and What is it Good for



????  How many people would say they USE music in some way everyday   ????

Think about How you use it.... Think about What you use it for..... 

Listening is the means by which we get it into our bodies, but Does
listening = Use? 

  What are some things we use music for  
(Think about activities you like to listen to music while doing....)

Uses for music are usually related to an activity, and music can somehow help us complete that activity


​
SO...




We are consciously listening to music with an intended outcome or a specific purpose
Right? 
We rarely (if ever) just put on tunes randomly.. .there is almost always a reason... a strategy




 That being said..... If it is something we USE everyday for a specific PURPOSE.. 

does this mean Listening to Music could be looked at as a
skill ? or something you could be skilled at?




  Think of some other skills we use everyday for a specific purpose

Literacy skills ....... Technology skills.........  Communication Skills ......  Motor Skills ...... Math Skills....... Driving Skills..... Cookings Skills.......


We recognize that without having some skill in these areas, it is going to make our life harder!

These are all ESSENTIAL SKILLS that we USE EVERYDAY TO IMPROVE OUR LIVES,
to make our lives better 
to make our lives easier

​

Music is also one of these essential Skills

Just like Math and Communication,  Music can also be used to make our everyday life better!

So to me , Appreciating Music is the same way we Appreciate the other Essential Skills

We Must first
recognize and acknowledge that they are a necessary part of everyday life, 
And Secondly we must have the ability to use them to do so!

Appreciation:      
1.  Recognize Music as an essential part of everyday life
2.  Have the ability to use Music to improve our lives
