Synopsis: Chapter 8
“Playing Music”
In reading Chapter 8, it reminds us that you sometimes have only an hour to present. How can you attract your audience? Well, by using images and having flourishing music. Music is very powerful and can greatly impact the audience. In this world of ours, all of the experiences we have tend to have an emotional reaction to many events. Our audience can identify and physically experience different emotions depending on the music you play in your presentations. The question now is what type of music do you want to have your audience listen to? The previous chapter about images mentioned that images play a major role, but now this chapter says that starting with music will set the mood even better. Mood altering music will definitely impact more because if you select the perfect piece and then have an awesome picture you will set the stage for the presentation. In this chapter, Burmark states, “We know from research and personal experience that music can heighten our emotions as it immerses us in multimedia experiences. It can instantly uplift our spirits and speed the healing of our bodies.” We now see how music can enrich learning experiences. Finally, music can help with memory. There are three certain factors that we can control as presenters: same music being played during the needs of our learners, the tempo should be the same, and the mood of the topic should match the mood of the music. Now you will make your presentation more memorable and meaningful by adding great images and having great music to accompany it.
