I enjoyed the process of completing the assignment specifically because of how I connected the analysis to music I like, which made the learning feel more personal and engaging. It also made me realize that I\u2019m actually getting better at breaking things down and explaining what I notice, instead of just saying whether I like a song or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
