Bluegrass music

gives the impression that this hall is being filled by music major’s and families just eager to support their loved ones spilling out with joy. I was so surprised that there were so many young audience members that were not music majors that had just come to hear the percussion concert. Though out the performance you can witness that the audience is so intently listening almost as if nothing could ever break their focus but the conclusion of the music. Sitting there even just before the…

It has been generally accepted that listening to music can improve mental health as it has the ability to divert us from stress by promoting positive state of mind (MacDonald & Wilson, 2014). In the society we currently live in, the self-awareness of most people is diminishing progressively since individuals are often overwhelmed with works and other activities, reducing the time spent for themselves. We often fail to realize that time for ourselves is essential since it would reboot our brain,…

joy. Older adults may even develop a new interest in different activities that they did not have time for at one point in their life. The activities may just need a couple adaptations. However, being able to take part in leisure activities such as music, art and social activities that…

After completing my first semester at Ohio State, I can already tell I am part of something very special. Granted, when I was accepted and when I made my decision to attend, I started to get the feeling that this would be the case. Growing up, I didn’t really think that this would be my case or story, but looking back on it, I am so happy it is. I was born in 1998 in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo as always been the place I call home, and I have spent most of my time in Ohio as well. I know the…

western classical music. Having been developed and patented by instrument creator and businessman Adolphe Sax in 1846, the saxophone had already missed out on much of the literature and masterworks written for other wind instruments centuries before its time. Additionally, much of the major classical musical works written for the instrument happened during its constant refinement development in Europe; allowing the saxophone to have more of a foothold in the originally American music idiom of…

completely different from high school, the workload went from 0-100 real quick. I even had a quiz already in Math. Surprisingly, I passed!!!

Now take away the music. Most people find that the scene has lost most of the emotion, and interest in what will happen next fades. The eyes of the people are far from welling up with tears. Why is this so? Music is a huge part of expressing the emotions of the movie to the viewer, and without it, many of the most powerful scenes in movies are much less effective. Imagine Darth Vader entering the scene, with zero music. Not as intimidating, right? People tend to take this music for granted,…

Learning in life varies for everyone, so it makes sense as to why we have schools that teach kids from childhood all the way to adulthood. Just one semester of school can make a difference in your education as long as you pay attention in class. Throughout Fall of 2016 at College of the Sequoias, I have been taught many new strategies on how to write well thought-out essays when it comes to arguing about relevant topics. I can tell based on comparing my first essay to my final essay that my…

with music instead another form such as a play or movie, and I was able to hear different parts like the heartbeat of the clock/man’s heartbeat and his conflicts. I did not like “Six pieces for Orchestra Op. 6” because of it had a more negative impact on me with its ghoulish melody. I think that our class sessions definitely helped me out in preparing me for the concert experience because I was able to identify sounds and rhythms that I would not have recognized otherwise. Listening to music in…
