Teaching and Engagement

Reflection
In my interview with Holly, I learned that you don’t need to know much about music in order to think beyond the surface qualities of a song. Holly has very limited experience with music and doesn’t remember how to read music from when she performed 10 years ago, but she still finds ways to analyze the artist’s intent. Holly had some really interesting insights on the role of music in our lives, as well as the role of music in the healing process after a loss, whether large or small. I also learned a new perspective on the meaning of music.
While creating this podcast, I faced challenges from technical difficulties with the microphone I used, so I learned problem-solving skills to ensure the audio had decent quality. I also learned a lot about the DAW I used, which was GarageBand. I had to teach myself how to cut certain sections of audio from the middle of a recording, and how to fade in and out audio tracks. It somewhat hurt me to edit the conversation, because I had to cut many sections of really interesting conversation. I had a lot of fun overall on this project, and it was really cool to learn about Holly. She showed me that people don’t need a music education to appreciate the value of music education and music in general. I also learned about some artists that I didn’t know about and looked up afterwards, leading to me getting hooked on more music. |
