the KOH string test. As you can see all test show that the bacteria is gram-positive. The KOH string test is supposed to determine either the bacteria is classified as gram-positive or gram-negative (Sadava, 2011). We dropped KOH with our bacteria and mixed it. After about a minute, we should have been able to tell if a string has formed or not. We have didn’t have a string form, so we had gram-positive bacteria and a negative string test result. We then did other tests because the string…

sky has been and shall be blue, people have and will constantly fall in and out of love, the fear of the unknown has been experienced by many, and many more will experience such a feeling, and an orchestra has always been seated that way it has - string instruments in the front with brass, woodwinds, and percussion in the back. Various things that function in a certain way, and continue to function in that certain way, grow to become the norm accepted by many over the years that pass. We get so…

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 unity of music is related to the music structures. People followed the musical structures and expected the direction or message of the music. In the 18th century, the most of the music had almost same musical structures and forms.

Historically, the music became less conventional after the French revolution and the composers had been interested in their own identities for their…

Van taught Beethoven through brutal beatings, if he didn't get it right his father would hit him until it was to his pleasing. Despite the fact that Johann Van's teaching methods were wrong, Beethoven became a prodigiously talented child from his earliest days which allowed him to reach farther than any composer's before or since. With his reputation already beginnning to flurish, Beethoven moved to Vienna in 1792 where he began to study with Joseph Haydn (Budden sec. 1). He started to become…

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…

In 4th grade I decided to try something new. I wanted to plan an instrument. But what to play. I went through the goldilocks stages of picking an instrument. I had it narrowed down to strings but which was just right. Violin? No that's too small, sounds too high, too basic. Cello? No that's too big and sounds too low. I wanted to play Viola. It was just right. The perfect combination of the two and it felt special but in 4th grade no one really knew what it was or even wanted to play it except…

Several artists handle their publicity differently. Some run large promotional campaigns to get their music out there in a way in which the average person cannot truly avoid their work. Others have their work passed around by their viewers for a multitude of reasons. In order…

Hector Berlioz was born near the French town of Grenoble on December 11th, 1803. Berlioz started music at the much later age of 12, meaning he was never a ‘child prodigy’. After learning enough theory, he began writing small arrangements and compositions.Due to his father’s discouragement, Berlioz never learnt how to play the piano, instead Berlioz became proficient at playing the guitar and flute. The first performance was at the Paris Conservatoire in 1830. This symphony is the perfect example…

During my ongoing business conference to Colorado to learn about future career opportunities for my dual degrees in Communication design and Computer Science, I got to attend an orchestra concert presented by the Hapless Heroes who were conducted by Leslie Stewart. The show was musical theatre where they had a live orchestra playing in front of the stage while the actors explained the Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. I attended this amazing show on the 4th of December. I love learning about…
