Annotated Bibliography Gruger, William. "Soundwave: Frictionless Music Discovery." Billboard 125.33 (2013): 39. Academic Search Complete. Web. 26 Feb. 2014. William Gruger, social/streaming charts manager for Billboard, does a great job at illustrating this article to connect his readers in the article Soundwave: Frictionless Music Discovery. Gruger explains about the well-known app called Soundwave. Soundwave is suppose to record your listening habits that records their music history, then it posts the items you listen to, to a forum where your friends can go and listen as well. This famous app with over a quarter million downloads, is a great way of promoting different artists and spreading their music all around the world. Even though this app does not relate the most with my question it is very useful. Gruger explains to the audience how common Soundwave is but this shows how music can easily be broadcasted and advertised. Friends can easily influence you to do many things as well as listening to different things which can influence one to feel a certain way due to the music they listen to. This article is more towards a broad audience maybe more like music promoters or people dealing with music marketing. Gruger does a great job explaining how large and growing this app is which shows how music is very popular in this world.

Mehr, Samuel A., Adena Schachner, Rachel C. Katz, and Elizabeth S. Spelke. "Two Randomized Trials Provide No Consistent Evidence for Nonmusical Cognitive Benefits of Brief Preschool Music Enrichment." Ed. Marina Pavlova. PLoS ONE 8.12 (2013): E82007. Print. The authors Samuel A. Mehr, Adena Schachner , Rachel C. Katz , Elizabeth S. Spelke are very fortunate when constructed this article called "Two Randomized Trials Provide No Consistent Evidence for Nonmusical Cognitive Benefits of Brief Preschool Music Enrichment." This article reflects on a childs behavior when it comes to music and how they develop with and without being around certain musical activities. The authors experimented on preschoolers and their skills going through a series of musical courses. This article looks more to researchers and people of a mature age. Music demonstrates many things when it comes to anyones personality and mood. If you grow up with a certain type of musical genre, will you act a certain type of way? These authors persuade my thinking to go more for music being a great part of our lives and how we develop as people. Youm, Hyun Kyung. "Parents Goals, Knowledge, Practices, And Needs Regarding Music Education For Their Young Children In South Korea." Journal Of Research In Music Education 61.3 (2013): 280-302. Academic Search Complete. Web. 26 Feb. 2014. The author Hyun Kyung Youm gives a very broad view in this article. Journal Of Research In Music Education, the article by Youm, shows how we as people influence others. As parents, many people develop a sense to put their children or family members in music related surroundings or activities. Youm demonstrates how parents are a main source in a childs musical development especially in South Korea. The strictness is more

crucial than it is here when dealing with a child. So the question that relates to my topic is whether or not a parents influence or parenting can persuade a childs musical taste? If we did limit what our children listen to, then can we change their personality and who they really want to become or have become? This article relates more to prospective parents, parents in general, or adults.
