WHAT SORT OF MUSIC DO YOUNG PEOPLE NEED?
What's an acapella?
An acapella is a genre of music consisting of either a singular person or a group who sings a certain song without music, sometimes creating their own music with talents like beatboxing.
Cozart’s YouTube channel Paint
Cozart’s YouTube channel Paint has more than 220,000 subscribers. Paint had around 7,000 subscribers the morning “Harry Potter in 99 Seconds” launched. By the evening, it had more than 12,000.
“I had been producing YouTube videos for six years, and I had always tried to see if I could make a viral video, if I could tap into that market,” Cozart said. “I thought, ‘I’m a Harry Potter fan, so I might as well try to dive in.’”
It took more than two months to create the concept, record and edit “Harry Potter in 99 Seconds.” In all of his musical videos, Cozart makes the beat and sings the words to his songs and then mashes the audio recordings together. Because he is a one-man band, Cozart’s videos often have many levels of audio. His most recent video, “Lord of the Rings in 99 Seconds,” has 20 layers of audio.

“Hands down, my favorite. I could listen to “99 Seconds of Harry Potter” any time, any day. This song tells the story of all seven books using the main theme music from the movies. It’s witty, well written, and beautifully performed by Jon Cozart AKA Paint.” – Harry Potter fan Is the tempo fast or slow?
Does the author use any musical instruments? What is the genre of the song? What is beatboxing? What emotion does the song make us feel? What is the message of the lyrics? Do you like the style of presentation of the song? Do you prefer listening to music or watching music? |
