Why should you listen to music? Most people listen to music for entertainment purposes while others focus on the theme within a song. Have you ever noticed that most songs have a story? People can learn from music because it has a direct message.

Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer highlights the struggles in life, and how having faith will help people make it through the tough times. Listen to a song; write a 1 page analysis reflecting on the music. How do connect with it?

A music learning style is valuable because the mind uses music to process the meaning of various music. Try to find a connection between the music and your life. Every individual will write something different due to their obstacles and challenges.

Before, I used to focus on the music - the instrumental and the words. Now when I listen to music, I look for a direct theme. You'll find it easy to write a 1 page analysis to a song. Even if the music just has instrumental melodies only, the music is still trying to convey a specific theme. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.
