College Admissions Essay: Creativity Through Singing

Decent Essays
I express my creativity through singing. For as long as my family and I can remember, I have loved to sing. In elementary school, I was always the shy and quiet type, but when I went to choir practice after school, I felt like I really belonged somewhere. But as much as I love to sing, I wasn't always good at it. At choir practice, I always sang as loud as I could, sometimes to the dismay of my choir director. But over time, my pitch got better. I started taking voice lessons, and through learning more about my voice and its capabilities, I was able to do so much more, in terms of expressing myself.
When I was 15, I won my region's literary competition for solo vocal performance. That was a surreal accomplishment for me; I never thought I

    The New Jersey Chamber Singers and the Bridgewater-Raritan High School Symphonic Choir performed a choral concert, Psalms from Age to Age, located at The Presbyterian Church of Toms River. This performance by both of these choirs was impressive, as well as organized due to the talent and easy flow between each song. This performance was in a beautiful church with stained glass windows; the windows provided a sense of colorful light inside of the church, which I loved. The inside of the church was a great temperature and the seating was comfortable. The church is old; therefore, the seating is also old, but there were cushions on the pews, making it relaxing.…

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…
