Show More
The summer of 2013 I attended the Summer Vocal Music Intensive at East Carolina University (ECU SVMI). This was one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. To get a taste of what life as a music major was like as an incoming high school freshman was magnificent. In 2014 I had really begun to fall in love with the program. Not only did I appreciate the information that was being taught but I realized the beauty of music. The professors were able to connect to over 100 high schoolers through a love of music and in that moment I realized that I wanted to do the same one day. It was towards the end of the camp and I had made such great friends. I did not want to leave. After that summer I did everything I could to further my career in

    Personal Narrative: Caldwell Community College

    I have always been independent, but I fully seeked independence when I was 16 years old. This was the year of 2016, and this was the year that my life changed; I was forced to grow up and learn how to be more independent. The first step to my seeking of independence was turning 16 years old and getting my driver’s license. This meant I was finally able to go out on my own and not rely on others to take me places anymore. In the year of 2016, I also began taking classes at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute to earn college credits.…

    Personal Narrative: Assisting To A Baroque Orchestra

    The event that I decided to go was BYU Baroque Ensemble, a production made by BYU students, taking place at Madsen Recital Hall Harris Fine Arts Center on November 3. The idea of making a baroque orchestra is where musician get together to make a perfect composition of music, the baroque orchestra is made up mostly of stringed instruments, when you listen you feel something different that makes you see it from another perspective, you just can’t stop listening and focus on every note that the musicians are playing. The type of instruments that were utilized in conjunction were the basso continuo, played by a viol, cello or bassoon. Other parts were added between the melody and the bass by a keyboard instrument, usually a harpsichord or organ and the development of tonal harmony, in which the melodic voices movement remains under the functional chord progression.…

    Personal Narrative: My Advanced Women's Show Choir

    For the last two years, I have contributed to my Advanced Women’s Show Choir’s success as a performer and as a dance captain.

    Personal Narrative: The Marching Band Journey

    Adrenaline ran through my veins all day, and Disney references spilling out of my mouth like a broken record in a player. No one else accepted my elation, but I on the other hand, had a countdown down for this jaunt as soon as I heard of it in August. As I sat down on the dirty, sweaty gym floor like the rest of the band, I began to process everything that was happening. In 26 hours, 48 minutes, and 28 seconds, according to my countdown, the entire high school band would be in Orlando, Florida. In four days time, our provincial marching band would be featured marching in a parade in the Magic Kingdom of the happiest place on earth!…

    Personal Narrative: Semester Of Learning Experiences

    Semester of Learning Experiences People most always say, “ Learn from you mistakes and achievements.” I would definitely conclude that is exactly what I’ve done this first semester of college. There are many times that I wanted to simply curl into a ball because of all the newness and unfamiliarity. At times I found myself doing just that, but realizing that I needed to toughen up burst from my comfort zone. I can say sleeping through your classes never the best choice, not going just because you find it too easy, missing a class just to write a paper for another class, and differentiating between minimal and highly important status of choices.…

    College Admissions Essay: My Obsession With Music

    I joined the Chorus and the Vocal Ensemble at the high school and continued to try and better myself as a musician. My music department also offered me other musical opportunities such as festivals. I have attended several festivals such as the Lakes Region music festival and the All New England music festival. These festivals allowed me to come together with other students from different schools that loved singing and performing as much as I did. Every time I perform at one of these festivals I am overwhelmed by how beautiful music can be when everyone I am working with is just as passionate as I am about the work we are doing and also extremely talented.…

    Personal Narrative: My Musical Identity

    My uncle had owned two clarinets and said that he could give me one of them, so I decided to play the clarinet. The first piece I played in the band was “Can’t take my eyes off from you”, a song sang by Franky Valli. I still can recall the excitement when I first joined rehearsal. I was so impressed and got a tingle. I felt that I finally found what I can be enthusiastic about, and playing in the band became my priority.…

    A time that stands out to me would be singing my first Aria. Taking the initiative towards something I rarely knew anything about caused me to be afraid. Something that is very challenging, and different from theater, and specific, but so rewarding. When I sang that for an audience, I felt like I was right where I was supposed to be. This song took a lot of hard work.…
