Component Lifestyles What are my component lifestyles, you ask? What exactly is a component lifestyle? What do I like or what am I interested in? What makes me tick, per say?

Jaydee Sanchez Music 101-014 February 29, 2016 Chapter 3 Questions 1) How might an “insider” to a musical tradition hear it differently from an “outsider”?

myself. A very significant memory from my past was when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the 2nd grade. I never noticed anything wrong until my parents pointed some strange things out.

bad habits in my life but I think the worst ones I have are before I fall asleep at night.

Roy Orbison I remember when I was a little girl growing up in Colombia my mother having lived through the 50’s and 60’s subjected me to the music of her era even more so than the music from my childhood in the early 80’s. Even though, the traditional music from our country was obviously in Spanish, my mother used to listen to ballads in Spanish as well as English. She used to imitate the singers pretending she knew how to speak English. She sounded convincing to me, that I almost believed that
