This class continued the previous one’s focus on funk music, and we were introduced to James Brown and his focus on the first beat. There are beats in music, and apparently its traditional for a lot of music to focus on certain beats. James Brown changed the game by putting the focus on the first beat, to really hit you, which was considered new and unorthodox. That was the last bit of information I understood. The rest of the class was about sound waves and the sort of nitty-gritty that goes wholly over my head. I can’t say what part I didn’t get because I didn’t even understand what I didn’t understand.
