I would like you to think about the many different functions of music in society.
What is the point of music? What is it for? Does it only have one intention or purpose?
What purpose does it serve?
What examples can you think of that demonstrate the different ways that music is used?
How does the purpose of the music affect how it sounds?
What is the intended message or mood?
How is the music used to reinforce its intended message?
Try and find examples that you can share with the class.
