(650-1000 words)In this course, we keep returning to the idea that popular music matters to people in various different and complex ways. In the text(s) you choose to respond to, how does music matter, and to whom?Here are some examples of topics youcould focus on. Please note: These ideas are meant to serve as guidanceand inspiration. You do not have, and will not be able, to answer allof these questions in such a short assignment:Music may matter to audiences forcertain specific reasons. What, according to the text(s) you respond to,makes listeners enjoy music? How does it impact their lives? How doesit empower them? Music may matter to musicians andothers involved in the music industry. What, according to the selectedreading(s), makes them engage in musical practice? Why is it importantto them to play (or record, etc.) music? Music may matter to corporations.What, according to the selected reading(s), are their stakes inreleasing and distributing music? How do they assert their interests inrelation to music? Music may also matter to thewriter of a specific text for one reason or another. What is importantand interesting about music for them? Why do they write about it?Further notes/recommendations (also remember to revisit the syllabus for further information):Be sure to use the space you haveefficiently. Choosing just one text may be enough if you have strongarguments in your discussion of its upsides and downsides. Twotexts/writers may work well for a comparison.While, of course, short summariesof selected texts’/writers’ main arguments should be included in yourtext, be sure to focus on the application of their ideas to yourexamples, and focus on your critical evaluation of these ideas. To quotethe syllabus: ‘How do the readings help us to understand therelationship between popular music and everyday life? Do these readingsspeak to your personal experience as a consumer or producer of music?Are there alternative ways of thinking about what the readings discuss?If so, what are they?’Be sure to isolate the keyarguments of the texts you focus on. Don’t feel like you have to explaina text’s/writer’s minor lines of thought. Instead, take a reading’s keypoint and engage with it through evidence as well as comparison.
