Bluegrass music

There were parts I dislike. What I dislike was probably the length of the songs were really short. Some were as short as a minute. And that leads me to the second thing I dislike was the sudden stops. Not giving any warning, when I was enjoying the music, the song just ended as if the devil stolen the songs away from me! One part of the performance that I really enjoyed and triggered thoughts in me was when Alexis Estrada perform the soloist section. When I was listening to her and the bright…

A person cannot fully grasp the full effect and intricateness of music without attending a live concert. On Tuesday, October 27 at the Sharp Concert Hall, I had the opportunity to attend a concert held by D. Frazier and Ricardo Coelho de Souza exhibits musical styles from Africa, South America, and parts of North America. All of the musical pieces contained several African retentions, a variety of instruments and other musical accompaniments such as vocalists and dancers. The concert as a…

at the San Jose State University Music Hall. The audience dressed casually. At the concert, I was a casual and referential listener. Like my previous assessment, I was a casual listener because I didn’t know the name of the song or artist, but I paid attention to the piece. Furthermore, I was a referential listener because I pictured some scenes while listening to the jazz music. When the trumpet played, it reminded me of a scene where a band is playing jazz music in the background at a bar and…

marvelous showcase of music talent from the student body of St. John’s music society. There were in total twelve magnificent musical pieces and were all much appreciated by the people who were there. All the musical pieces were great, but the one that I enjoyed the most was the Claude Debussy which was presented by Kevin Won and Rex Chou who played the piano together. However, that does not take away from the other music works that were down. Furthermore, I felt all the pieces of music had some…

I Complain My favorite part of the day is when I walk into my band class. Immediately, I can hear the loud sounds of a boisterous saxophone playing their part or the lilting sounds of a flute practicing their solo. These sounds fill me with happiness and they help to lift my mood. I love being in band. I have been a part of band for six years now and I love it even more every year. I enjoy the exhilaration of the performance, or joking around with my clarinet section. I am delighted that I…

The first selection of the evening was Band of Brothers by Micheal Kamen. This song has an intense melody with rhythmic harmony throughout the performance. The song has a very uplifting tempo that drove it along. Near the end of the song, the tempo slows down and then picks back up to create a grand finale. The triumphant sound created by the percussions was very influential to me, and made me think of unity. As the different instruments meshed together to create a beautiful sound this caused me…

In regards to children’s education, teachers play an important role. Since the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in 2002, many people have been concern about children’s learning and academic achievement, especially parents and educators. In fact, teachers are always trapped in “teaching dilemmas” because each teaching method has different levels of pros and cons for students. Wiggins and McTighe (2005) suggested that for all of the choices that teachers have during a day of…

Artistically speaking, I have never been very affluent. There was never much involvement of art in my early life, my parents were busy blue-collar workers and often saw art as a shiny unnecessity. As I grew though, I often found myself drawn to the artistic talents of others, slightly green with jealousy because of my own lack of abilities. Naturally I made peace with this, and now I am drawn to all sorts of exhibitions and artistic expressions. Given that I had just recently visited the Harn…

My first concert I attended was at Linnaea 's cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo, it was my first time going to Linnaea’s and watching the jazz performance. The band that was playing were young adults from the cuesta music program. The band’s name was the sharks there was three men and one woman in the group, the woman was the lead singer, and the three men’s instruments were a bass guitar,xylophone, and a guitar. Linnaea’s is a very small cafe, and the jazz room was full, so i was sitting in the…

Arvizu- 14 April 2016 Jazz is a type of music that branched off from ragtime. Jazz is faster paced music that is desired for dancing. Jazz became popular New Orleans and was known as “ratty” or “gut bucket” music. The spread of jazz took some time and not everyone approved it. Jazz offers musicians to express themselves through playing. Without jazz, other genres in the late 20th century would not be possible. Jazz let musicians have a voice in their creation of music. What I learned from the…
