Post 2: music enthograpy
There are so many types of music out there even in the Dallas area that it's a bit difficult to decide. If I had to choose though, i would definitely choose classical music (as in, music from the west)but in this case, it would be affected by the area these people live in which is Dallas. Since music is different for different people, orchestra A can perform a certain piece of music very differently from orchestra B. Different conductors, orchestra members, location, time, etc. change the performance. Likewise, each composer has his/her own story to tell with his/her piece. Each retelling is correct in its own right, therefore, it is very interesting to see what the retelling will be for those who come from different places and think and feel different things (which is everyone). It is in this music-culture that I found the heart, the human of the composer in his/her pieces. To understand a person in such a way is, in my opinion, the closest to understanding the person truly. It will be interesting to compare this music-culture in Dallas to some other places I've stayed. Since I've been involved with this type of music for many many years I've come to have a certain level of respect and reverence for it. It is in the mindset of a scholar seeking more knowledge both for learning purposes and because it is the goal of a scholar to find this knowledge, that I wish to study and seek out this music-culture.
