Workshop+Project+2

Today on “What Goes on in There?” we have what goes on inside the mind of teens when it comes to music. Let’s welcome our guest… Mariah Lobley, Shanekqa Hayes, Shawn Smith. And for the last part of the show we will have Brea Lobley, and her perspective on music, as well as the others! Thank you all for being here today. I have a couple of questions for you today, so lest get started with our first question… when you hear the word music what is the first thing that comes to mind?
 * TSH: ** Welcome to “What Goes on in There?”

** Mariah ** : “When you see me in the videos, babe do I make your body go crazy? Or when you catch me in a magazine, baby do you rip ma out and save my page?-Trey Songz

** TSH: ** Wow I never really thought of it like that! What about you Ms. Hayes When you hear the word music what comes to mind?

** Shanekqa: ** When I think of music the first thing that pops into my head is peace. I really don’t know why, but that’s what came up.

** TSH: ** Okay, that’s nice… I like that answer! Mr. Smith what is your take on this question?

** Shawn: ** When I hear the word music I think of a guitar playing, because I want to learn how to play.

** TSH: ** Great, I like that too. Now next question! Why do you think music is important?

** Shanekqa: ** You know I can’t really say why I think music is important.

** TSH: ** Okay, who would like to answer next?

** Shawn: ** I think music is important because it helps people express themselves in a positive way. ** TSH: ** And last, but not least to answer Ms. Lobley! ** Mariah: ** I think music is important because music is sound. Everything makes a sound, and when you put sounds together you can make something beautiful. Rappers can’t rap without music, they would just be poets. ** TSH: ** Wow that is so deep! But can’t sit around and cry about it. Let’s move on to the next question, so what genre of music do you listen to and why? Shawn: My favorite band would be Linkin Park because they were the first band I had listened to, and they really got me into listening to rock.
 * Shawn: ** I listen to rock the most because I really don’t like rap that much.
 * Mariah: ** Hip-hop because that’s all I hear in my community, but if you were to ask me to choose a genre to listen to it would be R&B.
 * Shanekqa: ** I say R&B because it’s calming.
 * TSH: ** Wow this is very interesting! Why do listen to music?
 * Shanekqa: ** To relax. You know as I said before, it’s calming, so why not listen to it while relaxing?
 * Mariah: ** I listen to music to pump creativity in my brain, and it relaxes my body.
 * Shawn: ** I listen to music to block out all the annoying people, and to focus on my school work.
 * TSH: ** Nice! I really love how this topic makes you think, and get to know everyone’s opinion! So here is your last question… who is your favorite artist/ band, and why?
 * Mariah: ** I don’t personally have a favorite artist, but if I had to choose somebody to listen to for the rest of my life it would be Kayne West because he strives to be the best.
 * TSH: ** Good answer, who would like to go next?
 * Shanekqa: ** Drake, Eminem, and Lil Wayne because they are the best rappers, they view it as art.
 * TSH: ** So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, we have found out what our teens’ outlook on music, and now the last part of the show is to find out what goes on inside the mind of Brea Lobley…
 * Brea: ** when I hear the word music I think of “I’ve got some issues that nobody can see, and all of these emotions are pouring out of me. I bring them to the light for you, it’s only right. This is the soundtrack to my life.”_Kid Cudi
 * TSH: ** OMG that is so deep, I just love your answer!
 * Brea: ** Thank you, but the answer to your next question would be… music is important because it helps you in the time of need, music can relate to you in so many ways; it can uplift you at any moment.
 * TSH: ** okay I’m really feeling that answer, so what genre of music do you listen to most, and why?
 * Brea: ** I can say that I listen to mostly Hip-hop because that’s what I grew up around, but I know more about R&B, and rock.
 * TSH: ** So then why do you listen to music?
 * Brea: ** Like I said before music can relate to you in so many ways, I listen to music because not only does it relate to me, but I like the way it sounds, and the way it makes me feel while listening to it.
 * TSH: ** Cool, so last question, who is your favorite artist/ band, and why?
 * Brea: ** well that’s a two part answer for me because I have a favorite band, and artist. My favorite artist would definitely be Kid Cudi hands down because I love his lyrics, I can relate to his music, his style, and his look is what got me. I also likes the way he carries himself. My favorite band would be Fall out Boy because their music is catchy and fun.
 * TSH: ** Wow, great answers! Looks like that’s all the time we have for today’s show so thank you all for tuning into “What Goes on in There?” see you next time![[image:00-kanye_west-live_from_vh1_storytellers-2009-front_5starhiphopcom.jpg width="238" height="240"]][[image:633211m.jpg width="220" height="220"]][[image:Drake_Find_Your_Love.jpg width="200" height="191"]][[image:FallOutBoy_FolieADeux_v6_ULT.jpg width="260" height="260"]][[image:images23.jpg]][[image:lil-wayne-i-am-not-a-human-being_article_story_main.jpg width="230" height="229"]][[image:LinkinPark.jpg width="379" height="179"]][[image:images.jpg]][[image:no_music.png]]
