Okay so I was browsing the internet and I found an amazing thing about a new Mp3 player. Apparently it has a whole bunch of new features and fixes. It also still does everything that a normal Mp3 player would do like shuffle and repeat. I kind of sound dumb because some of the things on the lit I have no idea what its talking about but oh well. All I know this is something that is probably only going to be made in the US which really isn't fair to me because I think people all over the world should be able to enjoy stuff like this.
There's also the normal fixes that ever company does to their products. There's also quite a few of those as well but I really don't feel like typing them so I will just put the link to the article. In my opinion it isn't much for an Mp3 player but it still will probably cost a lot of money jut like every other technology related thing in the world.

Do you ever find that just listening to your teacher is just boring and you cant get all the information you need because you just zone out? This constantly happens to me. Well when teachers use music or videos to teach it makes the class more interesting for me and even the other students. The website Flocabulary is a helpful website for teachers to use to teach to their students the concepts they need to learn. For me when teachers use music to help them teach it helps me a lot because if they use a song you hear all the time you're going to think about that school concept when you're listening to it. The only sad thing about this is that not all teachers would do this. This is because every kid in their life has that one teacher that never wants to have fun. I get music doesn't help all kids learn but for most kids it does. I know most of my friends like hearing music when they are learning. Music is all over the world and everyone just like us in America kids listen to it all the time. Music I guess is part of every ones lives and we listen to it all the time not matter what. I know I listen to it when I'm not suppose to but I listen to it when I'm taking notes and stuff but it helps me learn. This article basically states that if the student isn't engaged emotionally in the subject you're teaching they wont learn it and what's a good way to solve this problem.......music. Even the teacher that wrote the article says this is true because she used to not use music or videos but when she started to they saw a difference.

        I know people don't like Taylor Swift as much as they used to because she isn't writing the same type of music. Right now I could honestly care less about what people say about her because her new album is amazing! Some of the songs on her album 1989 are so relatable for me and I really enjoy listening and singing along to them with my friends. Her new album has already sold about a million copies and its only been out for like a week. To me that's pretty impressive.
       In my opinion I'm glad she switch from country to pop. I'm not going to lie I did love her when she was a country singer but I love her even more now. I know there are going to be people that might judge cause I like her but ill just shake it off. Did you see what I did there? Hahahah.

Here's the link to the article if you want  to read it.

Did you ever want to have a better workout? Bet you didn't know music could help you with that. Music always affects peoples emotions. When ever I listen to music that's not sad I always get pumped up and want to go do something and not sit at home. So more than likely when you got to the gym its better to listen to music that can get you really pumped up even though I don't go to the gym. I use my music just so I can get the energy to just clean up my room but that's just me. If you were anything like me you wouldn't be able to do anything without music. I'm actually listening to music right now typing this blog. To get to the point I think we could all say music makes everything better. For better work out music click the link below.

The way music is being taught is changing all over the world. Did you ever think that someone from another country could digitally record their music and send it across the world over the internet? With the disklavier it's possible. The disklavier  is a piano that allows someone to record the movement of the keys and foot pedals when they are pressed. Since the movements can be recorded the person can send them to other people through the internet and can be replayed t on other disklavier pianos. It records the exact same things the person plays so the can listen back to it and see if they made mistakes.  This helps teachers help their students find their mistakes in their music.
One the other hand, with every good invention there could be disadvantages and advantages. One disadvantage of this is that it would cost over $40,000 to promote the disklavier. Despite this disadvantage there is one extremely well advantage. The disklavier allows people from other countries to audition for music competitions in the Untied States. It can also help students apply for a music school without even having to come to the campus letting the parents save their money. Because of the disklavier more of music education can be explored.
