Music Lecture Response

     Before Mr. Miller's lecture, I never really understood that there was another purpose of music besides just entertaining people. Now I understand that it contains more purposes than entertainment, which is to spread information and teach languages.  An example of spreading information is bards, which in the olden days, went from town from town, reciting verses from songs. And in these songs, they usually contained information of landscape, cultures, or events from the past. So, the people that were listening to the bard would most likely learn something that they didn't know. Now, there are also songs that can teach children the alphabet, in a more entertaining than just memorization, such as the ABC song that is made from the English alphabet. Now every time I listen to the radio, i'll take every lyric from a song into consideration, and try to learn something from it.
