What changed my life the most was probably band. I've been in band for about 3 or 4 years now,and I really enjoy it. Band has helped me out in a lot of ways and will continue helping me until I no longer need help. In band, originally I wanted to be a percussionists like my older brother but they told me I was quite good on trumpet, so naturally I chose trumpet. I still play trumpet along with horn,baritone,etc..
Band has really helped change my life because It showed me how to learn and pay attention. Learning to play an instrument is pretty difficult for most, but if you practice you can accomplish it with time. It didn't take me long before I got the hang of it and started to get fairly good at it.
Band has taught me that if you want something
you need to work for it. Nothing in life comes easily and if it does then it's too good to be true. Working for something is difficult and most people stop short of their goal, but in band people are there for you and show you support so you can push to the finish. Being in band has really taught me how to study and practice properly. Cause if you don't then you won't be reaching your personal goal and you are letting down the band. You must use a lot of time to get better at your instrument, no one is just as good as they can be as soon as they start playing. You must be willing to work hard and put forth the effort to and improve and get better as an individual. Sure it may be difficult at times but if you push through that then you achieve great success. You must work hard and practice so not only you in improve, but so the band improves.
I can’t touch music, but it touches me. I cannot exist without it. Music surrounds me and envelops me. The music isn’t just background noise, it has power. The lyrics beat and intensity can fill me with angst, sadden me, pump me up and help me relax. Music is life and it has power. It helps me delve deep into my personality and individuality and has helped me discover a more introspective side of myself. However, it wasn’t always like this.
My older sister loved the marching band, so I always got dragged to their performances. I could not tell what was so appealing about it all; it consisted of walking on a field while playing instruments and flags being swung in the air. Participating in a marching band was never what I intended nor wanted to do. The idea bored me, but my mom insisted.
It gave me memories, opportunities, my best friends, and the best group of seventy or more people I could have ever hoped for. Without band I would not have gone on to any of the leadership positions I acquired, would not have met my best friends from my hometown or at college, and I would not have accomplished nearly as much as I have. It gave me confidence, respect, and discipline, qualities I am very grateful to have. Above all else, it gave me music. The ability to play an instrument is something I will never lose, and a talent which allows me to express my emotions and thoughts in a less forthright manner. I firmly believe that the marching band is the soundtrack to every student’s high school career, whether they are in band or not. Because with every football game, pep rally, and national anthem they hear, a family of band nerds sat in a room for hours each week perfecting it. No high school experience is complete without the band marching on at half time, or crowds of people cheering along to the fight song or alma mater. Marching band is the kind of activity that changes you in ways you do not realize until much later when you look back on the experience. Even if you were not involved in the band- it still affects you somehow. Because it is more than music and awkward
As a freshman in high school and band, I was nervous, and very unconfident. But band changed it all for me. I found that helping people out was much more rewarding than just being a good player or marcher. Leadership is the best skill I've learned from band, and it will
Ever since I was young, music has been a big part of my life and how I express myself. Music became an extremely important part of my life during my early teen years when I truly began to change physically and mentally. I began to have new experiences with others and began the process of figuring out who I really am. Without music, I do not know how I would express myself or how I would have endured my adolescence.
Since I was young, music have always played a major part in my life and to this day it
Other things in my life changed as well. I started to care about school, and developed a love for learning. My grades reflected this, and soon I began to like school again. I became cheerful and jubilant in my own ways. I was still under the clutches of my computer addiction, but things were looking up. I made some new friends in my class, and was generally a nicer person. I started listening to the same songs I always have, but at the same time branched out to different genres. I became a better person both in and out of my
Picking up a guitar and diving into the never ending journey of of learning to play shaped my outlook on life forever. I learned how to better myself for myself without having to cash a paycheck to justify my efforts. It all started when my dad convinced me to get out of my comfort zone by jumping right into something I wasn't too sure about.
Ever since I was a small child, I have loved music. The strong, steady beats, the
I started with music at a very young age and I quickly fell in love with not only music itself but the fact that I could create something for others to hear and possible change their life through what I play. This thought simply blew my mind. I could do something that changed someone else’s life and all I had to do was do something that I enjoy. I became involved with the church band in order to share my talent with others, at the time I figure this would be a temporary thing until I found something better that I wanted to do. Me and my family had just moved to a new church and I was very shy, however, after a while I slowly realized that this is something that I wanted to do for longer than a little while. Now as it turns out I will be in this band till I graduate and go off for college because I simply enjoy it that much. When I started I had no idea that I would be where I am. It started as a hobby of playing guitar on the side and now I play piano, drums, cajon,
Many changes for the good and some were bad but, there were some learning experiences that help make me a better person. The events in my life, was dealing with the Birth and The Death of my first daughter.
Picking up a guitar for the first time transformed my life completely. My Perspective of myself changed, the world seemed much brighter and I was able to find myself again. I went through a time in my life in which I had severe depression and anxiety due to bullying and problems in my family. Music truly saved my life, it molded me into the person I am today. I have no idea who I would be or where I would be without it.
Music is more than just listening to a favorite band in the car. For the people who are actually involved with playing in a band, they know how different each type of band can be because of past experiences. It can provide not only music specific experiences, but others as well. These experiences include benefits that seem to go unseen, but will turn out to be useful in the future. One of the biggest benefits that comes from being in band is gaining the social benefit of working together, as it will prepare the participants for life outside of music.
I enjoy band more than anything because, like film, music is an amazing way for people to express their emotions. Music was one of the few things that got me through high school. While it was difficult at times I enjoyed the challenge because it pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and helped me become a better and more confident leader. I have been taking care of my family for years but getting to go outside of my house and focus on something that will definitely benefit me later in life is a huge bonus to working on music throughout high
From my experience of playing with an orchestra and also a band, I have boosted my team skills, perseverance, responsibility, interaction, and stage fright, all of which are important aspects of being successful in life. While being a part of a band or orchestra, it 's essential that you learn to cooperate with those around you in order to make beautiful music together. The time and effort that it takes in order to learn how to play an instrument teach the qualities of patience and perseverance that almost every musician possesses. Responsibility is also taught while maintaining your instrument in working condition or such as remembering to get to your performance, rehearsals, and making it on time to practice. Being a part of this musical community can also greatly affect anyone 's social skills. Being surrounded by many other musicians who share the same interests as you, makes it easy for a person to open up and create strong
