Prompt 5: Define and evaluate the concept of transmission (Ratliff, Ch. 4) as an important musical element across all kinds of music. Do you agree with Ratliff’s arguments regarding this musical element? Why or why not? Examine at least one musical example in Ratliff’s playlist in detail – how does it exemplify this musical concept? Find at least one musical example outside of Ratliff’s playlist and justify its inclusion – how does it exemplify this musical concept?

Musical transmission is how music is passed on, learned, and listened to. I believe that the transmission of music is very important because it affects cultures and their way of listening to music from the past and present. I agree with Ratliff because he says that music is passed down and I have experienced this myself. An good example is my mother playing Usher's "Confession" tape all day on Sundays while cleaning up the house.
