The Purpose of my of my 10-20-30 page was to interview my closes family, and find out the real history through african american music. Go through all the greats and hits to see which really builded american music. I had to base my project off one simple question why didn't african americans get credit? Where did R&B come from but then I found out that the white people really didn't want r & b and change in american music. While interviewing my father (John Shuman) He gave me the theme the basic idea, he made me look deeper into the project.

The hardest about this project, is getting the information. I had to research deeper than other students. There weren't many articles about how whites stole african american music, they didn't talk about it or said much about it. THe further the years went the harder it got, so i found diaries, and letters. I found articles and things like that, and concert dates about things like that. I went in depth with my research. 

The good thing about my project was i could add my own flavor and add spice, and flavor. I created a page built off inspiration, and what i wanted. The colors, african american pictures, the way i put a collage was all a message. Made the overall question mean something, and I enjoyed this project.

Link: 10-20-30

I enjoyed this project. It was different from any other project that I have had in the 9 years I have been in grade school. I really enjoyed designing my wiki page. Just the fact people can go online and see my work and maybe even learn from it is awesome to me. Also, I liked the connections my interviewers for the 10-20-30 made to their favorite songs back in the day. That actually proved “Orange Nation’s” outlook on music that was played back in the day true, based on my interviewers outlook on music.

 

What I had the most trouble with is finding articles and events that happened in the year I was going research in. It was hard because I didn’t want to find anything that didn’t have anything to do with my project. I thought that some things where that important. However, any event to me in African American History is important.

Here is a link to my project  http://orange10-11.wikispaces.com/Dejah+H.10

Essay!

For the Ethnomusicology Benchmark I had a lot of fun creating history through the use of my own blog. It was also very nice that we acquainted it with music released at the time. It really helped educate us on the past events of African Americans. 

Although the articles provided sufficient information, I am still wondering what else went on during the time of racism. It feels like a large period of time is missing from public documentation. I am almost certain other things have happened within the time period. I will further research this to hopefully find out. 


For me the best part about this project was designing it. I greatly enjoyed this. I found searching for articles very difficult however.

My purpose for doing this project was to learn more about what the world was like before I was born. A lot of things have changed now in days. My parents changed the music they listened to 20 years before I was born. Everything that was out back then is completely out of style now. I like that kind of music mostly because I was raised around it.

 

 The best part of the project was being able to sit there and listen to the resins behind why they loved it. Though my Dad didn’t really have a resin

besides the fact that he liked it. The resins were almost as good as the songs them selves. Music is a big part of my everyday environment. The music from before I was born was some of the best of it’s time.

 

 The hardest part was the articles because I could never find one from 1995 that I liked in the lest. When I looked I looked for hours and still couldn’t find anything I liked. Thoughs articles just weren’t up to my standards. I don’t exactly like the ones I picked but I couldn’t exactly find any others.

The point of doing the 10-20-30 project was to find out from different people what kind of music they used to listen 10, 20 and 30 years ago and what kind of events happened around that time. I believe that this project was very important because you got to learn about the different events that people had to go through before you were born. I also believe that it was a great learning experience to be very thankful for what you have and what you didn’t have to go through.

For example back then in 1965 my grandmother had to live the life of racism. Her life was very hard because she couldn’t go to the places she wanted to go to and she couldn’t do the things she wanted to do. So right know we have the right to do things we want to do and we have better opportunities. So from this project I learned to be very thankful for not living the life in 1965 because if you did you would live the life of racism also. 

I believe the best part of the project was to get pictures from the internet and get music from gosong.net. I believe the most difficult part of the project was to find the different events in the year 1965. On the New York Times website the events didn’t go all the way back to 1965. Instead it stopped at 1975. Overall I had so much fun doing this project and I learned many things from it.

​Q: How do you feel about your 10-20-30 ?
A: "I feel that it has a lot of content and application of knowledge"

Q: If you could do it again, what would you differently?
A: "I would Put more content into the events, because I didn't do that well."

Q: What is the best part of your project
A: "The best part is the music I put on there."

Q: What is the most challenging part?
A: "The hardest part was making it visually appealing."

Q: What do you feel is the purpose of this project?
A: "I think that the purpose of this project is to learn about music from the past."
