- What music and arts are you interested in? Why?
I like all kinds of music, but I can say that my favorite one is Pop – a short term of Popular Music. Most people listen to music, and Pop might be the most common music around us. It originated in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid-1950s, and nowadays it has become a worldwide wave. The characteristics of Pop music include an aim of appealing to a general audience, and it also aims to encourage dancing and uses catchy rhythms. This kind of music has lyrics which are easy to understand and sing along, so I can sing to most of the songs after hearing them thrice. My favorite pop musician is Taylor Swift. She is not simply a singer, but she is also a song writer, dancer, and producer. Most of her songs are about many different shades of love, and this subject is also the most common one in Pop. Recently, Pop culture has strongly developed in Asian countries, and it can be said that Korea is the leader of this wave. Many bands have been born, and they have introduced their national values to the whole world through their music. While Western Pop music focuses mostly on the catchy sound of instruments and singer’s voice, Korean Pop is more on the side of synchronized choreography and main concept along with the catchy tunes. I know many other countries also have good Pop songs, but I just listen to US – UK and Korean ones. My dream is to be able to attend a real Pop concert with famous singers, gorgeous stage with a lot of colorful lights, lively sound and professional dancers. I am saving money for a Pop concert in my hometown in the summer, and I cannot wait to listen to my favorite kind of music in real life.

Music and arts helps he a lot at school and in my life.
1.MUSIC IS THE KEY TO CREATIVITY.Music fuels the mind and thus fuels our creativity. A Creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations.
2. MUSIC MAKES EDUCATION MORE ENJOYABLE.Music can be very engaging in the classroom and is a great tool for memorization. I’m sure if more teachers used song to teach the multiplication tables, kids would retain that information much quicker.
3. MUSIC IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE.You’ve heard this time and time again, but what does it mean exactly? Music is universal in that there are no boundaries to understanding music. Even animals like Birds, Dogs, and Whales can understand music to a certain degree.
4. MUSIC HAS SPIRITUAL POWERS.No one really knows where Music came from but there are many theories that suggest music predates the existence of Mankind. One of the most commonly known uses for music was religious and sacred tribal events. In Mayan civilization music was used in celebration of a victory at war and even at the burial of influential figures.
My favourite singer is SIA, she creates lots of goods music pieces. Country and EDM mixed together is actually really good. The vocals that she can sings is impressive amount.
The song I like best is ThunderCloud. There are two narrators/singers in the song: Sia and Labrinth. Each of the narrators tries to reassure their significant other that their love is real and that they should trust them and let go of all fears and anxiety.
In conclusion, music is really important for our life. It makes us more creative, it make education more enjoyable, and it make I feel "cooler". BTW, SIA is my favourite singer and musician.
