Music And Gender
Music is art that is spreading across the entire whole and an art that every gender uses in their daily lives. As we view music from across the world you can see that even in bands, congregation, or orchestra different genders will play a different instrument. Also gender can also classify the type of music you listen to and also how you connect to the music in an emotional way.
There are also different instruments you will see being played with the differences in gender. Most of the time in a band you find most females play the flute, violin, clarinet, and also the cello. You will also find males playing the drum, saxophone , trumpet and trombone. I’m not saying that a certain gender has to play a certain instrument but most of the time this is the case we see the most as genders playing instruments. Here is an example of a band and the different instruments that are being played by the different genders in the band.
This is South Carolina State 101 marching bad in the video you see a variety of different instruments being played by the different gender.
We also find out that different genders will find a different connection with listening to music. The women's gender will more than likely connect to the music more in an emotional way and also will give a better listener to popular music. Also there are more males artists in the music industry but female artists are listening to the most coming from how many females listen to music on a daily basis. Here is a great songs that most females listen to more than any males.
In conclusion, Music in an art that is view from many type of people across the world. Also that different gender will also view different music in a more personal way or more emotional. We also noticed how different genders play different instruments in a band.
Hi Jay, I liked your video from the band. I think that we've come a long way in terms of different genders playing different instruments.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion your comment on how “gender can also classify the type of music you listen to and also how you connect to the music in an emotional way.” I personally don't think your gender has anything to do with the type of music you listen to or even how you connect with music, especially on an emotional level. Many men don't connect with things on an emotional level because it is deemed as “non-masculine” which is redundant.
ReplyDeleteHi Jaylun! I enjoyed your discussion of gender roles within marching band. It is interesting how different instruments are routinely playing by the same genders. I had a friend who is in a college marching band and she echoed your opinion.
