European American music is basically the synonym of pop music for me. I understand that in the field of pop music, European American music is the source of pop music as a whole. Its role is decisive and its status is irreplaceable. European and American pop music originated from the American black music Blues in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which has the connection with the songs of black slaves singing in the plantation.

To be an effective performer, it needs to have an adaptability ability as there will be unexpected situations occur at any time. Composers need to have a strong creative impulse. Impulsiveness and extraordinary diligence are essential quality of them. Advantage of composers is that they decide what kind of music is presented. Thus, I want to be a composer. The strengths regarding the roles of performers lies in the direct contact of them with listeners, which is weakness of composers.

I would like to know the history of European American music including a large number of religious, and political factors, which helps to understand the formation process of European American music and grasp the regional characteristics and cultural characteristics behind the musical style. I also would like to know more about the skill of singing and stage performance as well as the thinking of music arranger, which is helpful for me to understand the style of European American music.

I know that the root of Afro-American music can be traced back to the 17th century. As the first African black slaves were trafficked to North America, they brought in their own music while bringing it in the workforce. Then the Afro-African slaves began to gradually inject African music into the new Colonies – the United States. Thus, the African music and European music is blended together, forming a unique set of music system.

“Master improvisation” is a musician’s aural and technical facilities to create a spontaneous form of musical expression. Thus, they need to master the vocabulary of improvisation, the choice of scale in reality, and the coordination of improvisers. For masterpiece, words, and songs are unlikely to pass at one time. Sometimes in order to beautiful melody, composers may modify the lyrics. I want to be a renowned improviser/performer as I am freer if it am inspired on the spot.

I want to know why the roots of African American music can be generated in the United States and how the super rhythm of black music is obtained. I also want to understand why rock music did not flourish in the hands of black people, but became popular in Europe although it was at first produced by the black people. There are almost no blacks among the world’s rock bands. Why does The Beatles become the most famous British rock band?
