Learning To Sing Bass Analysis

Decent Essays
Hey Mr. Appleton! I was wondering if there was any possibility I could move down to bass. I have been struggling this past semester as a baritone. I don’t sing my strongest there and can only sing for a limited time before my voice gives up. Recently I had my uncle over, who is a music teacher\choir director, and he went over my range and gave me some tips on getting more strength in my upper range. However, I still don’t feel like I have the strength I need to sing baritone. I would feel much more comfortable and stronger in the bass range. I know its a lot to ask and I understand you have everyone placed where you need them. But if there is ever a slot available, I would be more than happy to sing bass for

    I believe myself to be outspoken enough to command band members to dress to one another, yet not too intimidating as to drain the fun out of the process. Since freshman year, I have improved upon my dressing to forms and getting to the right dot at the right time and having participated in theater has augmented my appreciation for correct spacing and saying true to the drill written in our drill books. I would love to see both underclassmen and upperclassmen improve upon their marching skills and ability to make forms and I would be honored to help them do so. As a brass captain, I feel as though I would benefit the band because I am enthusiastic and would encourage the brass put forth 100% effort toward every warm-up and play-through of the music. I would be sure to emphasize nuances of the music in rehearsal, such as dynamic changes and accent marks because I believe that a musical performance--no matter the ensemble--is not truly successful without genuine expression.…

    In the professional world vocal fry in women sounds to be an issue. That’s the thing, the professional world. In the article “From Upspeak to Vocal Fry: Are We “Policing” Young Women's Voices” the victim of the growing modern age seems to be having issues with her vocal fry, She also happens to work for news radio, which probably has an older target audience who ends up becoming the judges of her voice.

Since retail requires such “youthful” sense of enthusiasm in order to sell product, I’ve noticed something in the workplace, a repeating habit.…

    Successful organizations all require 2 things: a strong team and strong leaders to direct the team to victory, and the Marching Pioneers is no exception to this rule. With an ensemble as large as the Marching Pioneers, there is no physically possible way 4 top tier leaders can give everyone the attention they need. Section leaders are necessary for the success of our fine organization, and there’s nothing more satisfying than being part of a leadership team that can add to the already growing success of this talented group.

    1. In a sentence or two, what is the specific argument of "I Sing the Body Electric"? Why does this argument seem so important to Whitman (e.g., what is he speaking against?)? Overall, the specific argument made in Walt Whitman’s “I Sing the Body Electric” is that every single human life is sacred. Whether you’re a man or woman, black or white, Whitman argues that we are all comprised of the same organs and body parts, and are all equal at the end of the day. He writes, “Each belongs here or anywhere, just as much as the well-off—just as much as you” (Whitman 86), arguing that despite race, gender, or nationality, each individual human being has their own place in the world and deserves to have a life just like anyone else.…

    Singin’ in the Rain (1952) directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen is one of Hollywood’s most famous musicals. As a big fan of musicals, it’s surprising that I have never seen this infamous film. I had preconceived notions about what it would be like and I thought that I wouldn’t enjoy it. However, the movie was nothing like that I thought it would be and I enjoyed the “behind the scenes” style of film that the director used to show the transition between silent films to talkie.…
