today's aim

At the end of today's class, you will be able to tell me why repetition happens so often in songs. You will also be able to describe in English what sampling is and why it is used so much nowadays.

To-do Today

Speaking: which song do you have on repeat right now? 
Video: music and repetition
Let's read: how music from the past influences pop music today
Speaking: what music do your parents listen to? Do you recognise it?

Which song do you currently have on repeat?

Have you ever disliked a song at first, and then come to like it? Why might that be?

1. The mere exposure effect captures the intution that

1. Exposure isn't strong enough to affect preference
2. People tend to dislike stimuli they've encountered before
3. People tend to prefer stimuli they've encountered before
4. Exposure is the only fact affecting preference

2. When repetition was added to excerpts from challenging contemporary art music:

1. Listeners found the music more enjoyable, interesting, and artistic
2. Listeners found the music more unpleasant, boring, and random
3. Listeners found the music as enjoyable, interesting, and artistic as they had originally
4. Listeners noticed that repetition had been added

3.When people hear a segment of music repeated:

1. They're more likely to turn off the track
2. They're more likely to relax
3. They're more likely to turn up the track
4. They're more likely to move along while listening

4.After you've head a piece repeated a lot:

1. You're able to anticipate what note is coming next
2. You're able to compose it yourself
3. You're able to explain it to someone else
4. You're able to title it accurately
