We also had our info guide as well as interesting interviews that took place through out the day.

We also discussed how certain music is labelled according to race which can be frustrating. Certain music is seen as coloured, white, black, Indian or weird music. You go to someone’s house who might not come from the same cultural background and they’ll assume that you won’t like their kind of music because your hair, skin, dialect is different. Music is suppose to be universal, music has no face, it speaks all languages. Music is not restricted to one genre. That’s why the tips today was about how to appreciate music.

TIP OF THE DAY
How to Appreciate Music

Music is an art form but it has many purposes other than just listening to it. Ancient civilization artifacts as well as Biblical references suggest that music was considered a powerful influence on physical health and well-being. It has been used as a motivator to do many activities such as work out or just doing house hold chores. When music is used in therapy it can reach even those resistant to other treatment approaches due to its accessibility, familiarity, feelings of security associated with it, and its capacity to express the range of human emotion.

Listen to all types of music from classical to jazz, rap to edm, R&B to country. Be open to anything and you will be surprised at what you like.

Try understanding what point the artist is trying to convey. Many songs have hidden messages that the artist wants you to find.

Get a MP3 player, CD player, or anything of that nature so that you will have music to listen to wherever you go.

Try creating playlists on projectplaylist.com or similar websites and discover other's taste in music, to help you build your own.

Listen to a song repeatedly to understand it's true meaning. Songs that do not sound appealing to you upon first listen might sound better after a few more.

In some cases you will not like a song the first time you hear it, listen to it at least 3 times before you decide that you don't like it for sure.

If you are having trouble understanding what the artist is saying there are many websites that list the lyrics.

Don't dismiss the Oldies. Some of the greatest bands have in fact, been around for a greater deal of time than you would expect. Try listening to "legendary" bands such as the Beatles and Queen.


WE ALSO FEATURED:
We interviewed the enthusiastic members of the Dreamcast, entertainment group from Retreat. They spoke about what they do and how the arts inspires their lives in a positive way.

We then were joined by Authur Sishuba from BASS Entertainment. He spoke to us about Cape House Music Festival taking place this Saturday 6th December at 17:30. Cape House Music Festival is a social event seeking to promote Cape Town as a preferred region of entertainment and tourism destination. The festival also aims to empower local artists.
