We are constantly immersed in music everywhere we go. Music is in the malls that we shop in, in commercials on TV and radio, and in the elevators that we use every day.
What are some of the other places where you notice music playing? How does it affect
you during the holiday seasons? Does it have an influence on the products that you
buy? Does it have an influence on how much you spend?

I notice music playing in peoples cars, my family playing music as they are cleaning, and my friend mumbling song lyrics in school.

An example for me would be: Usually, if it is before Thanksgiving, and a store has Christmas music playing, I become more reluctant to shop there. Another could be: If I notice a store playing a song I like, it makes me want to go in to hear it, and usually I end up finding something I like.

Music tends to not have an influence on the products I buy.

It does not have an influence on how much I spend.

Explanation:

I'm not sure if you wanted specific answers, so here are some that are probably more personal than not. Hopefully this helps :)

1.I notice music is also could be playing at parties and it can affect me if the music isn't good or the dj isn't really playing any good songs that i can dance to or sing along to

2. yes it can have a big influence on things you buy cause 1 chirstmas song could get you in the spirit and you might want to buy everything  

3.no it doesnt have an influence on how much i spend cause have to be mindful of my money  

Explanation:

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
