Recommended: Importance of music in human life

The passion I have chosen to do my project on is music because I feel that I am most passionate about band. I also believe that not enough people play a musical instrument. In my project, I will start an instrument drive and collect instruments from people that do not use them. Then, I will give the instruments to schools that do not have a big music program. With my project, it will be hard to get people to donate their instruments that they don’t use and it will be hard to find a school to donate the instruments to. Although, I believe that I will give them to S.T.E.M middle school. My passion relates to the community because some schools do not have nearly a big enough music program. I think that more people need to be involved in music …show more content…

After my instrument drive, I will donate the instruments that I have collected to schools that don’t have a big music program. Also, this will benefit middle school kids. Music has been a big part of my life and it could be a big part of a lot of kid’s lives. At the end of my project, my outcome that I hope will be that one school in Adams 12 will have enough instruments to start a music program. I hope that once people see what I have done to help S.T.E.M or any other school, they will try to help other school’s in my community. In may, on our project night, I will be presenting what instruments I collected and who donated them to me. I will also present what school I donated the instruments to. The things that I might need will be flyers to advertise what I am doing. I will put these up in century and I will put these up in a music store that my mentor works at. Also, I might need money to help fix instruments that are donated to me if they are damaged. In conclusion, I like this project because the thing that I am most passionate about is music and I believe that not enough people are musically involved. Music is a huge part of my life and if someone starts playing an instrument, then their lives could change

    ...join so long ago I never really knew I 'd end up here doing what I do. It seems like the common theme for me is seeing something and saying “I can 't do that” then pursuing it until I can. One of my fondest memories is watching someone at the percussion concert play a marimba solo when I was in sixth grade and just looking over at Justin molder and laughing saying “wow I can 't do that” now I do that all the time. I didn 't think I could ever be the leader of a group like this it seemed like too much for me, but now after watching and being in this program and seeing where it could go and what I can do, I want to help take it there. I feel great about next year no matter what happens but I 'm ready to step up, I 'm ready take on whatever I have to to make this year the best year yet.

In this class, we not only study theory and how music is put together, but we also study music history and famous composers throughout musical history. Throughout my senior year, I will be applying to a few different colleges or various scholarships.

  • Music Education: An Essential for Middle Schools

    1497 Words  | 3 Pages

    We all believe that extracurricular activities in schools can be beneficial, right? In schools, we currently have optional extracurricular courses such as football, art, music, and more. We also have mandatory health and health science courses such as physical education and health and nutrition. Why is physical education a required course and music only an extra curricular activity? Research clearly shows that learning to play an instrument is greatly benefitting our students in the same way that physical education is having a positive impact on them. Why would we, by not requiring middle school students to take a music course, refrain from even more advancement, and withhold the help we could easily give. I propose that we make music

  • The Fated High School Struggle

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    As discussed in class, discourse is our communication. Furthermore, author James Paul Gee of “What is Literacy” defines discourse as an “identity kit” (Gee, “What is Literacy?”). Gee includes discourse as a combination of one’s thinking, acting, and language that is associated to a group of others. There are different kinds of discourses; two discourses that will be discussed in this paper are primary and secondary. Primary discourse is the “oral mode developed in the primary process of enculturation” (Gee, “What is Literacy?”). The primary discourse in this paper is the first-person experience I had in high school. Secondary discourse is “developed in association with and by having access to and practice with these secondary institutions” (Gee, “What is Literacy?”). School, work, and church are examples of secondary institutions. The secondary discourse in the paper is attending the University of Arkansas and writing this paper. According to Gee, “secondary discourse can serve as a meta-discourse to critique the primary discourse…” (“What is Literacy?”). Throughout this process I wanted to know if high school is destined. Was my high school experience awful or is there a sociological reasoning behind the events? With that, I have researched the social construct and applied it to my previous experiences enabling me to truly discover if high school is destined.

  • Playing the Flute

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    Of all the instruments laid out on display, only one caught my attention. I was thirteen at the time, and naturally, my eye was drawn to the shiniest of the group. I had never heard the sound of a flute before, aside from the cheap imitation of one on my family’s electronic keyboard. Nevertheless, I picked the pretty, gleaming, easy-to-carry flute on that first day of band class. Three years later, I can’t imagine playing anything else. What started off as blind luck and an attraction to shiny objects is now a part of my life. Playing an instrument is always a worthwhile investment; you develop a skill that many people only wish they had, you have opportunities to meet other musicians, and you may even get to travel in a band setting. But in order to reap the benefits, you first have to learn how to play.
