Recommended: My musical experience

It has been three years ago, since that fun trip. The trip filled with excitement, pride, and joy. I was in 7th grade, and only 13 years old (Or 12). I was in the middle school band, one of the most fun class in my year. At the start of the year of my first year in middle school, I disliked band, because I thought it was just going to waste my time with my other classes, and drawings, and not to mention, that we had to buy a new reed, and I disliked wasting money, but when I learning the pros of the band, I started to get more used to it. I played 3rd clarinet, which is the most quietest and sinister instrument of the entire band. I was still getting used to the notes, and had a strong difficulty of reading the notes. I already know which

    Not only am I in the band, but I am an essential component to the success and well-being of my section. The clarinets never sounded better than when they were under the direction of Section Leader Sarah, whom they all loved and adored. Okay, that's a boldfaced lie. As a dedicated band member, I demand perfection, not only in my own performance, but also in the performance of others. I refuse to accept mediocrity from any section member. In my opinion, there is no excuse for not knowing music, ignoring instructions, or not knowing right from left. Sadly, this quirk of mine doesn't make me terribly popular among t...

    138 Words  | 1 Pages

    My love for music has kept me afloat through many tribulations throughout my life. When I was younger I was fascinated with the concept of music theory. This love led me to play recorder, piano, and now guitar. I love the freedom that music allows one when composing an original piece. There are so many genres and aspects of music to choose that one can never be bored. With my music, I feel I am able to paint a vivid story of my life. As the notes carry my thoughts and passions, I am able to share my hopes and dreams with anyone who would stop and listen.

    Music is one of the most fantastical forms of entertainment. Its history stretches all the way from the primitive polyrhythmic drums in Africa to our modern day pop music we listen to on our phones. It has the ability to amaze us, to capture our attention and leave us in awe. It soothes the hearts of billions, and it is so deeply rooted in my life that it has touched my heart as well. Everyday I walk to the beat of the song stuck in my head and hum along to the melody. For me, to listen to music be lifted into the air by the hands of your imagination and float around for a while. You forget about your worries, your troubles and find peace within the sound. Every chapter in my life is attached with a song. Every time I listen to a certain song, thoughts of my past come flooding back

    Then it came to 7th and 8th grade when I discovered how much I loved to play marimba and the way it truly became what I wanted to do. Eighth grade was my first year ever of marching band, although I was just a band manager and couldn’t play because I wasn't in high school yet, I still got to go to all of the games and competitions and experience what marching band might be like when I would finally be in it. Next thing I knew, I was in marching band, freshman year, I played for the Terminal Velocity show of 2020 on the xylophone.

    I attended my first collegiate choral concert on Friday October 17, at Concordia University Irvine’s CU Center. The only other choral concerts I have attended in my lifetime were when I was a part of the choir at my elementary school. The performance began at 7:30 p.m. and lasted about an hour and a half with no intermission. The musical event was conducted by Dr. Marin Jacobson and accompanied by Dr. Rachel Schrag. It was the Fall Choral Concert and Concordia’s Donne di Canto and Men’s chorus performed a total of 14 pieces, including “Sing a New Song to the Lord,” “Heart, We Will Forget Him,” “Old Dan Tucker,” and “Benediction.” The 13 works were grouped into 5 categories: Psalms of Praise and Meditation; Songs of Faith and Praise; Two Emily Dickinson Settings; Folksongs for Men; and Spiritual Blessings.

  • My Oboe Career Progression

    484 Words  | 1 Pages

    A lot has changed between the time I first picked up my instrument and today. Many people like to joke that the oboe sounds similar to a duck. Truthfully, for the first three years, there was little distinction between the 'music' I graced my parents' ears with and the quacking noises heard at ponds. Every year at TMEA auditions, the students who auditioned would frequently change. Not because the oboist graduated, but because they simply quit. Many students were discouraged from continuing such a futile instrument, including myself sometimes. How could anyone make this broken clarinet sound less... pitiful? However, I stuck through with it and continued to practice, despite all the discouraging moments I encountered.

  • Personal Essay: A Music Analysis

    1292 Words  | 3 Pages

    In second grade I took violin and guitar lessons. Unfortunately, that was only brief, for when you have ADHD you often times will lose interest in things that require work. Violin ended indefinitely, but my learning of guitar did not completely stop there: in about fifth or sixth grade I picked back up where I left off and attempted to reteach myself from my guitar book, and eventually looked to the internet for guidance, where I learned to actually play chords and songs. It wasn’t until January of 2012 that I got my first legitimate guitar, and from that point on I was absolutely in love. My guitar was my safe haven and my baby. When I was upset or frustrated? Play guitar. Bored? Guitar. Happy? Guitar. There was just something fascinating, soothing, and exhilarating about playing certain chords and different strum patterns - it was addictive! The more I learned, the more I wanted to share, so I would go out to different parks and play guitar and sing - not for money or anything, but simply just to share what I have accomplished and what I am able to produce with the world. One of my favorite things about taking my guitar away from home is having other people surround me and sing along. It’s so amazing how music can bring people together, even in the smallest of ways. Learning an instrument is an incredible skill to obtain and I recommend trying it out

  • Personal Essay: Lessons That I Have Learned From Life

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    However I did not have a big problem being in that class, the only issue was there were no instrument like a keyboard piano. The instrument that I picked was the brass flute since it looked easy to learn. As I continued to practice playing the flute in my Beginning Band class and rehearse after school, I mastered to which keys to press and how to blow properly in the riser. To be able to play at a slow tempo, regular tempo, and swift tempo. As matter of fact, I also learned to work well and play all together with my classmates and my flute partner, Robbie Lee. From being in this class, My Beginning Band has taught me skills of playing an instrument besides a keyboard piano and gave me more knowledge about music. Somehow being in that class, it inspired me to teach myself to sing well and show people that I do not just draw, but that I know how to sing and
