Music Assignment: Functions of music

Music impacts us without us knowing. It is a big
part of our lives. In this assignment I am going
to tell you about the functions of music.

In the society category music is mostly used for

entertainment and communication purposes.
Entertainment is a very big part of music in the
society. It is everywhere you go. Even in tv
shows it is also used as theme songs. People
either create music or just enjoy listening to it.
Some people enjoy listening to music for fun or
maybe put you in a better mood example if you
are feeling depressed or sad music can make
you feel happy and joyful again. Some people
make music to tell a story that might be
personal or not to the people out there or to
send a specific message out their examples of
artists who tell stories through their music are
Harry Styles, Lizzo, Demi Lovato, Alessia Cara,
Hailee Steinfeld, James Taylor, Ariana Grande
and many more. In society music helps us
communicate to the other individual. For
instance, that you and the other person can
have the same taste of music you may both like
the same artist or song or band and that will
help you build your relationship with the other
person based on the same interests that you
both have.

In the community category it helps a

community to keep its identity. It helps
motivate the community to work together
