I feel in love with music when I was in 5th grade and I was going to be in the band. So I had to pick what instrument I wanted to play. I was in between trombone and trumpet. I chose trumpet because my family knows someone that would give me lessons, so I picked trumpet. The trumpet has changed my life, I have thought about what if I never joined the band or what if I chose trombone instead. I have always wondered, but now I'm glad I chose trumpet.
When I was in 5th grade I was the first 5th grader from elk mound to go to solo and ensemble, and I got a one on my solo that I played, so I didn’t disappoint my school.
Some of my experience is that I am now taking lessons at the University of Eau Claire. I was also invited to take a trumpet studies and theory class at the university. One day I hope to be a teacher and play in the new york symphony. Being in the new york symphony has always been one of my dreams and hope that it won't be a dream much longer.

To do this I want to be that best I can be in high school and get as many generals that I can take in high school so it will help me out financially in the future.
I think that my biggest obstacle will be getting an audition with the new york symphony. That will definitely be a very difficult obstacle because it is a very long and complex addition process. You have to travel around the world performing in front of massive amounts of
If someone had asked me back in sixth grade what my passion was, marching band would not have ever even crossed my mind. First of all because there is no marching band in sixth grade. Second, when I got into band in sixth grade, I was the worst French horn player in my section. I knew absolutely nothing reading music or playing and although I was still just learning, I always thought I had no chance to get better and that I would quit, but I didn’t. I stayed in the band and my opinions changed my freshman year of high school.
Mariachi is a very authentic type of music which originated from the heart of Mexico in Guadalajara. The instruments used for mariachi include the Guitarron, vihuela, violin, harp, guitar, and the trumpet. When played together, they form a beautiful music which I have come to love. In my own experience, mariachi can be a very challenging style to play, but it can also be rewarding in the end. Playing mariachi is how I became the awesome trumpet player I am today.
Music helped me realized that i am an auditory learner and helped me become a better multitasker what with musical, school work, and ski team happening all in the same season. Learning new pieces has always been a great experience for me and i’ve loved every
I loved playing famous marches and preludes by Bach, Beethoven, or even John Adams. I'm always eager to immerse myself into the diverse and complex music that concert season holds and see what new challenges await me, whether it be all region, playing in another band, auditioning for an honor band, or auditioning for concert solos. Playing in a professional orchestra can take upwards of ten years of music education and most music students can only dream of playing in one someday, but I have already had the opportunity and pleasure of doing so. The JROTC group at my school hosted an event where the National Air Force Band would come and perform in our auditorium with a select five or six students from our high school band, handpicked by the director of the National Air Force Band director, to play with them during one of their songs, and I happened to be one of those lucky students. This would be my first time playing with a professional band and I was so excited, I could hardly contain the huge grin on my face the whole time I was on stage.We played our song and were given a certificate that stated that we were apart of the National Air Force Band. We
I began taking violin lessons at the age of four and have since shared my music with others in many ways. I have been in the community orchestra at Jacksonville University and am in the first violin section of the University of North Florida's string ensemble. When I performed on violin for 4-H's Share the Fun event, I placed first at the county and district levels and second at the state level, and was later asked to play at the 4-H Foundation Dinner and two Volunteer Recognition Dinners. The most unusual playing job I have had was when I played for a sale at Rhode's Furniture!
I want to graduate after four years with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, and make something great out of it.
Music is the third most important thing to me in life outside of god and my mom. Music keeps me balanced. Every since I was a baby music was played around me. Jazz was always played around me to soothe me. There would be times when I would be really hyper acting like I couldn't sleep, my mom would put on some jazz and I would be fine. A lot of times I can have a long chore and I say to my self how can I accomplish this, Knowing it will take me forever. So I'll put on some jazz music and in twenty-five minutes I'm finished.
The following Christmas half way through my fifth grade year, I received my first string instrument. Immediately I dropped the clarinet and fell in love with that cheap, 45 dollar, first act guitar. Everywhere I went, it followed. I was 11 at the time and that 45 dollar guitar made me feel like the hotshot of the town. Music made me happy.
From fifth grade to twelve grades, I was in concert band. I learned how to play the alto saxophone and fell in love with it. I would always practice at home and went to every lesson. I remember seeing other people play instruments, and wanting to do what they were doing. When I first got my saxophone, I kept taking it out and putting it together, even though I had no idea how to play it. As I kept playing through the years, I would fall deeper in love with music. I would listen to our music that we were playing all the time, so I knew exactly how I should be playing it.
Ever since I was a small child, I have loved music. The strong, steady beats, the
I feel proud to have grown up in a musical environment, as my grandfather was a professional musician who played in several professional symphony orchestras, my mother learned violin from my grandfather, then my older brother from her and then I did. On the other hand, my father is a former Fulbright Scholar with a DMA (Doctor of Musical Arts) degree from the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati. Although they have all have been a tremendous inspiration, it was my own will, passion and love for music that led me to pursue such career.
Music has always been an important part of my life and I have always been passionate about it, ever since I was young. I was strongly influenced by my dad, who played the drums in high school and loves classic rock; and my mom, who was a member of the choir in high school and at MSU. Needless to say, they supported my constant renditions of Wheels on the Bus as a toddler. Weekly music class in elementary school was easily my favorite activity, and I took the recorder solos and annual concerts very seriously. In middle school when choir became an optional elective, I immediately jumped at the opportunity.
Music has always played an important role in my life. During my early childhood I was always exposed to different genres of music. My family had a very diverse pallet. Bluegrass and country from my grandparents, classical and pop from my mom, 80’s and punk rock from my dad. Needless to say, we’re lovers of music.
Music has been a key player in my life since before I knew what it really was; the rattle of corn in a bucket and the scores in my Mom’s Lord of the Rings movies echo through my mind. One of my earliest memories is jumping round the kitchen, singing to Taylor Swift with my older sister as she washed dishes and I played with the baby. Out of all the languages I know, none were more pleasant to learn, nor more wonderful to know than Music. I struggle with many components of spoken languages, but math and the patterns within it have always come naturally to me, I believe this might be why Music was in all an easy learn for me, I just learned rhythms in sound instead of patterns on paper. When I was eight, my big brother, Robert, taught me
Music: I took piano classes for six years. I have been playing clarinet for my school band from the fourth grade to eighth grade. Our band has received high recognition the past two years at the spring band performance at St. John’s College High School.
