My culture/subculture is going to be the music industry and I plan on going to places such as choir rooms, record studios, and band rooms to get a feel of the music world as it it portrayed today.

As for some of the sensory details, I can remember a lot of them from being in choir for eight years. The room was always covered with musical notes and stars. There was music and musical books all over the room. The room had this great smell to it, like it was spring or something. I remember the wooden piano that might as well be broken because it is such crappy condition. Besides that, all I can remember is chairs lined up in rows and a couch in the very back of the room.

By going to these particular field sites, I hope to learn about how music has changed today from when I was in school. I want to see how the music is taught, how the music is portrayed, how do the people behind the scenes handle music today, what it takes to prepare a music show, etc. I just want to be the outsider this time instead of the insider and look at how all of these things have either changed or stayed the same and why they have changed or stayed the same. I expect to learn the same stuff I have already as an insider, but I also want to learn things I didn't notice as an insider, such as how much time it takes a music teacher to prepare his lesson plans, how each song is suppose to be portrayed, how people in the business handle music copyrights and how they record music as compared to twenty or thirty years ago. I expect to learn a lot of the same stuff and a lot of new things as I prepare to do my field study on the music culture/subculture.
