If you live in a state that experiences all four seasons, more than likely you are waiting for spring to begin. After a very long four months of winter, we are ready for the spring weather.

There is nothing we want more than to stay indoors, surrounded by a warm fire. Music comes into play – when you are sitting by a warm fire, more than often you are relaxing and want some calm music  to play in the background. Music helps set the mood and warms your soul.The SnowWhen the snow blankets theSun, 24 Jan 2021 01:59:20http://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/music-and-winter-on-the-ricardo-rick-vargas-southfield-bloghttp://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/music-and-holidays-on-the-ricardo-rick-vargas-blogMusic and the HolidaysToday on the Ricardo (Rick) Vargas Southfield blog, the topic at hand is music and the holidays.The end of every year brings a lot of traditional music. Jingle Bells, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and Auld Lang Syne to name a few. The holidays are synonymous with music. Not only that, but there are radio stations that play holiday music nonstop beginning with the first day of November.

People look back at the events that occurred, people they may have met, and memories that were made. It is also important to think back at the things that shaped your life and shaped you. For that reason, we should be very thankful for music.WHY MUSIC?MusicSun, 29 Nov 2020 01:25:35http://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/grateful-for-musichttp://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/creating-music-on-the-ricardo-rick-vargas-southfield-blogYou might ask yourself “why would I want to know about how to create bad music?”.Creating bad music is the opposite of creating good music. A lot of popular musicians have created bad music just like a lot of actors and actresses have created bad movies. It can happen. You might not mean for it to be bad, but you could be in a rush, in a rut, or just not thinking through a project. You need to get an end results out quickly, and unfortunately, the end result ends up being bad.How do you fixSat, 26 Sep 2020 22:16:23http://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/creating-music-on-the-ricardo-rick-vargas-southfield-bloghttp://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/music-genresGenres of Music on the Ricardo "Rick" Vargas Southfield Michigan BlogToday on the Ricardo "Rick" Vargas Southfield Michigan blog, I write about genres of music.When you think of all of the different genres of music that exist, the list is as long as you can make it. These days there are so many genres coming together to make a new genre that one can almost bring any two musical thoughts together and call it something new.A musical genre is defined as a conventional category that identifiesSun, 19 Jul 2020 12:48:34http://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/music-genreshttp://ricardovargasmichigan.com/ricardo-vargas-michigan-blog/music-and-working-outMusic and Working OutToday on the Ricardo Vargas Michigan blog, I write about music and working out. A lot of people choose to listen to music while working out. Why is that?Music can give someone who might have no motivation to work out, the motivation he or she needs to push themselves forward. Music can energize you. Music can fuel the fire inside you to move. Music is so powerful in so many ways. Any time I want to get pumped up to move, I turn on a good upbeat track to move to.

Music influences us to buy certain items, to feel a certain way, and help us feel emotionally invested in something. Whatever it is that the influencing party wants us to feel.
