I decided to choose this picture for my padlet because I feel like it is a terrific representation of the emotion captured in karaoke. There can be so much happiness and joy, filling the room and creating unforgettable memories with friends. Karaoke is a great interactive activity to do with friends, something that can't quite be captured in a concert atmosphere. I love going to the Union on Tuesday nights and singing with friends, such a great time.

I used this as my second picture because it represents my love for classical music. It also represents the relaxing view of a classical music concert from the perspective of the viewer. Classical music is exciting, surprising, and quite often funny. It is fun to watch and is enjoyable. I think classical music concerts are the best because they are the perfect length at around two hours. I can't wait to go to one again.

I absolutely love all kinds of music making, whether it be participatory like Karaoke or presentational like music concerts! During the school week I love going to the union at the University of North Texas and singing karaoke as well as listen to others sing karaoke. It is just such a fun and interactive activity and I love when you can make music into something interactive. It is also nice because you can act silly and just cut up with friends, where it is not such a formal event and you can just relax. I also however love the formality and beauty of a classical music concert, and the adrenaline pumping sound of a rock concert. Both are beautiful and amazing in their own right, as is almost all expressions of music in my opinion. I love that you can just sit and be captive in the world of music in a concert though, classical music concerts are my favorite. I love going to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra when I can but my wallet really dislikes it. It is just so beautiful and incredibly peaceful to be in what feels like your own sanctuary of music, in an environment that is so acoustically perfect. I truly value both of these types of music making because both are equally beautiful in their own right. If I had to pick a favorite however I would probably pick karaoke because you can do more while doing karaoke, it is a very adaptable form of music making.

"There’s a clear divide between the performers and the audience. Audience members might dance or sing along, but they are not the focus. For example: a classical, rock or jazz concert."
-Thomas Turino

"Everyone present is actively doing something: playing an instrument, singing or chanting, and/or dancing. For example: a bluegrass jam, campfire singing"
-Thomas Turino

Tchaikovsky was the first classical music concert that I went to at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. It was such an unforgettable experience. My parents company rented out a box seat and we got to watch the performance from the comfort of a box seat which was nice. It felt so old school and nice to sit up high and listen to the performance. I felt fancy and got to listen to a performance that was just jaw dropping beautiful. I will never forget how awesome that memory was.

The second piece of media that I have included is James Gorden's Carpool Karaoke. The formula for the bit is almost ridiculously simple: two people driving around and singing along to the radio and chatting casually. Corden has coaxed everyone from Justin Bieber to Mariah Carey to Rod Stewart to Carrie Underwood to One Direction to ride shotgun with him and drive around the streets of Los Angeles, breezily chatting, startling pedestrians and joyfully singing along to their greatest hits. It is just an incredibly entertaining to watch every week!
