Background music

a musical background. I am however a jazz fan and love to listen to that type of music. I was so excited for the concert because I do not get to listen to or attend jazz concerts very often so this was a great opportunity. I feel that I get my love for jazz from my mother. She absolutely loves jazz and listens to it on the car radio all the time. This concert reminded me of when I used to ride in my mom’s car and just listen to relaxing jazz music. I do enjoy listening to jazz music and I…

huge section to sit in for the people who attended the concert. The performance lasted roughly an hour and thirty minutes. The performance was incredible, the violinist played incredible together as well as the brass and percussion. Ryan Briley, the music major who came to our class one day to demonstrate the digeridoo, was a conductor one of the pieces played in the concert. My favorite part of the concert was the flute soloist Nicole Wells, who was the winner of the ONU Concerto Competition.…

different from our culture, and it was fascinating to learn and understand other cultures. Overall, I learned many things from this show. First, my favorite part was when the Monks were standing in the corner playing their instruments with music in the background, and there came a big dragon dancing across the front of the room. It was white, creatively decorated with their culture’s…

overall shape and form, this period of music was best known for how it changed the playing of the violin…

ongoing argument about whether or not art and music education programs are important for the fate of America’s youth. Numerous schools have already taken the “necessary” measures to cut art and music programs all-together. Many argue that the fine arts distract students from their basic core academics, but research suggests that being part of at least one fine art program improves the overall classroom education. Therefore, receiving credit in an art or music class should be required for high…

Chills coursed throughout my body when Eliza Rickman began singing. Her voice sounded even better in real life than it did recorded. I was astounded, bathed in the music, my throat clenching as I tried not to cry. Not only could she reach every note, but she sounded even more eerily haunting than I had dared to imagine. Her strange assortment of instruments was foreign to me, she had an antique toy piano, bells and even an accordion. Adam Joseph, writer for Monterey County Now, reported that…

Influenced by his personal experiences and how he overcame the misfortunes, Donnie McClurkin began to create motivational songs in order to express himself. (Borden) Donnie McClurkin’s songs are…

would have been too “over the top” for this occasion. Although there were formal components to the concert, I would consider the performance to be more of an informal concert. The conductor came on stage and tried to engage the audience because the music was supposed to tell a story. John Gordon Ross, the conductor, informed the audience which instrument was…
