String theory

temperature. In essence, when the temperature of a guitar string increases, its molecules move farther apart, slightly increasing its length. When the temperature of the string decreases, its molecules move around less, so its length decreases. This expansion and contraction changes the tension on the guitar string, resulting in a change in tune as well…

Six years ago, I barely knew what a cello was. I originally wanted to play the Violin, but my school’s orchestra already had six. Because there were only two cellos, I decided to attempt to bring out any sound I could get from the instrument. I hated the cello when I began learning how to produce sound from its components for the reason that it was not a violin. I complained multiple about how I hated “that god-forsaken- instrument”; I convinced myself that playing it was the least productive…

especially depending on the different strengths and weaknesses for each instrument. My auditioner was a violinist, and I was a flutist. There is a major difference of scale biases between someone who plays a wind instrument and someone who plays a string instrument. My head was a ping-pong table of different options bouncing back and forth: C, G, D, A, E, B, F sharp, D flat, A flat, E flat, B flat or F major. “Well, what scale are you going to play for me today?” I had felt like so much…

The reason you will want to get hands on with the violin is so you can pick the right sized violin. When purchasing a violin, you will also need to check if it comes with strings otherwise you will need to buy some strings.…

C. There is archeological evidence found in northern Turkey reliefs. Also been found in ancient Egyptian drawings that be like a guitar instrument. In the culture like as Hittites and Assyrians created string instruments like the lyre. It's an instrument with the simplest and traditional strings of the world but with the addition of a sounding board. There are various hypotheses about the origins of the guitars. One version puts that the guitar is a descendant of the “fidícula” which is a…

There is clear emotion present in his voice when he says the name “Leiyla”. What that emotion is, however, is difficult to discern. The drums are heard at a greatly increased pace, utilizing more and more pitches with faster runs. The oud, a plucked string instrument, comes in and out, always matching the drum. It comes to sound rather like an accompaniment to a chase scene in an action movie. The drums conclude the section with a loud rhythm and are cut out. The whistle appears again for a…

Franz Joseph Haydn is widely known as one of the creators of classical music, as well as being dubbed the “Father of the Symphony” and “Father of the String Quartet. He is also one of the greatest and most celebrated composers of all time. Haydn once remarked, “Young people can learn from my example that something can come from nothing. What I have become is the result of my hard efforts.” And it was the truth. Haydn came from humbler beginnings than most. He was born in Rohrau, Austria on March…

The woodwinds did a nice job accompany the strings instrument and brought a little satisfaction but overall it was too slow for what am accustom to. Stravinsky 's Rite of Spring, Introduction and Omens of Spring is my third to last as the brass instrument in this pieces was too harsh for my test…

We Didn’t Start The Fire was one of the most powerful songs in 1989, written by no other than Billy Joel. The number one hit mentions some famous events between the years of 1949 and 1989. In 1949 was when the singer was born and in 1989 was when the song was released. We Didn’t Start The Fire was nominated for record of the year at the Grammy Awards and was also number one in the United States at that time. But that’s not all the song was noticed for. The hit was known for it’s strong message…

and persistence” -Colin Powell. I will never forget when I was awarded one of the two “Most Outstanding Musician” awards when I was a 7th grader at Neil Armstrong Middle School. It was the second week of school when we first met the string orchestra teacher; no one gave her a schedule. Her curly ginger hair, piercings, and her tattoos made her look kind of “intimidating”, but she was a very fun and laid back person once we got to know her. Throughout the year, she had taught us a…
