My inquary question

Question : How does music influence culture and how does culture influence music?
Approach/ Action: Having a dance performance in the end of the year. ( Art as culture. Music as music. )
Time: Maybe presented in the end of May.
Role: The director.
Goal: To show the people in the world how music and dance is, the deepest meaning of music. (I also sort of want to show people that dance is not what is popular, and what the true meaning of dance and music.)
I don't know if this will work, if it doesn't... I'll maybe change culture to food...

Interesting question!!
But I really don't see how by doing a dance performance answer your main question!? Can you be more specific or is this a surprise we'll see at the end of the year!?

Cool idea! I look forward to seeing your finished product. Also, its Inquiry not Inquary. :D

yeah, I think you can also find out does culture comes first or music comes first, lol. Good luck with what you're going to research. Hopefully, we can find out how do they relate and influnce to each other. jia yo~

Hmmm...
Why aren't you in dance class??!

Anyway, this project seems really interesting and creative. ^^ It'll be hard to choreograph a dance, but you helped out alot during previous christmas show dances right? You can do it!!

i think this question is very interesting; however, I think it is going to be hard. The reason I think it is going to be hard is that culture is too broad. Culture can be clothes, food, language, art, etc. I think you really need to define what culture you are talking about. How about the society?? How does music affect the society?? Is that better??

I really like your goal, because personally I have no idea what the deepest meaning of music is. For me, music is just someone's creativity that makes me relax, and happy!

You are off to a good start. I agree with many of the comments already posted, and I do think you will need to narrow your topic considerably. I am also thinking that perhaps the dance performance is part of your primary research, rather than your lived experience project. If you use what you find about music and culture to help make our community a better place, your project should be more long-term than just one performance. Lots of potential, you just need to refine your thoughts.

btw- please change your test color, it is too much of an eye-strain to read your blog. I won't accept another one in this color. Thanks.
