"Don't Worry, Be Happy"

 The Ted Talk I decided to watch was with Bobby Mcferrin, the man who wrote the song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”, and it gave me some interesting insight about music. During the talk, Bobby stood up from his seat, as he was among a group of scientist, and involved the audience in a performance. As he hopped to either left or right he had the audience a sing a single note. He did this and improvised a song with the audience and then revealed after that every he has been, every audience has been able to comprehend the pentatonic scale.  At the end one of the scientist offered him a job in neuroscience jokingly. I use the pentatonic scale in my music frequently and a lot of people agree it’s vital to learning music. When Bobby explained how wherever he goes every audience knows how to do that, it confirmed my affinity for music and why I’m at Full Sail. I’ve been working hard at school, on my projects, and finding a place to work and I just have to keep doing it. This video made me remember why I’m doing all this and it’s good to see that while I’m putting in the time and work it takes. My biggest resource for success is Full Sail. Through the MBBS program I learned about how my industry works, and through the EBMS program I’m continuing to learn more. Not only that, but I’ve met some friendly people that want to put in the same amount of time and work on this project as I do; it’s good to have a team. Together we’re going to accomplish this. We’ve only just started to take the necessary steps but hopefully when this is over we’ll have produced something we can be happy with.
