Choir

as possible. I started off with choir and because i looked up to my choral teacher so much it became clear to me that I wanted to become a music teacher. As time went by in highschool i felt more strongly about this and started working towards things that would help me towards that path. During my 8th grade year i wasn't doing very well in an art class and i wasn't enjoying it at all. I asked if i could be put in a different class. One of the options was choir. I had always been a good…

antagonist, to lead the group of young boys. Some of Ralph’s traits that make him a better leader than Jack are his ability to prioritise and his ability to think. Although some may say that Jack is a better leader because he was the leader of the choir. This can be quickly disputed because they barely show allegiance to him. Ralphs essential leadership traits make him a much better pick for a leader than Jack. One trait that selects Ralph as a better leader is his ability to prioritise. Ralph…

schools all over the country have several elective subjects such as band, art, and choir. These classes are for students to practice abilities other than just academics. All students are different and have strengths in different places. Due to a variety of reasons, schools are making major budget cuts and eliminating these important elective subjects. Schools should not cut important subjects such as art, band, and choir because students need a break from classes that only involve paper and…

As the birds arrived they say the line of hopefuls, but their eyes soon fell upon the Racoon and the woods became silent as they pondered why he kept showing up. Many animals tried out, few were good, finally it was the Raccoons turn. Some of the choir left, in order to avoid the cringe, the majority stayed because they found it amusing. The Racoon for his twentieth time, unable to tell when to quit, steps up and attempts to sing, his voice like a deflating balloon was endurable but…

accounting. However, it was not until I participated in the 2015 National Memorial Day Choral Festival that I knew how to use it to serve those who have already served. When my choir director revealed the 2015 trip destination, I was overjoyed in anticipation of experiencing the nation’s capital for the first time in my life. As my choir started learning the festival music, I was awestruck by the dark lyrics of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ cantata “Dona Nobis Pacem” and inspired by others such as…

behind Bryce and mess with him hoping to mess him up. I sometimes also like to try and play chords or something someone shows me. To the left is a rack full of movies that Dr. Ryan shows the choir sometimes. The movies all have to deal with music, for example, The Sound of Music. The piano faces the different choir sections that are grouped together. There are 4 levels to the room so all sections can see the conductor when singing. Last year Dr. Ryan had a movie in for one of the last days and I…

An Abbreviated, Non-Autobiographical Memoir of Alice Coltrane The Coltrane name remains ever-pervasive in the music community, dredging up echoes of wailing saxophone cries ahead of their time – and ahead of poor Tommy Flanagan. Countless musicians have found inspiration in John Coltrane’s career and his second wife, Alice Coltrane (1937-2007), is no exception. Accomplished musician in her own right as a pianist, organist, and harpist, she made a successful career for herself prior to and…

music, to joining my elementary school choir in third grade, to moving to the middle school choir and joining band, learning my first instrument, moving up and getting better, meeting people, all up to now. Part of the school’s band program as a bass clarinet, pushing myself everyday to get better, and to overall be better. I joined my school’s choir program in sixth grade knowing that that’s what I wanted to do, considering I had already been part of a choir since third grade. I signed up for…

In the allegorical novel, Lord of the Flies, the author William Golding uses the characters to represent hidden themes and ideas he wants to express to the reader. The central theme of the book is the conflict between human’s internal struggles between our natural instincts of civilization which is the “good” and against savagery as the “bad”. A secondary theme that is equally is important is the desire for power. Jack symbolizes the antagonizing side of uncontrolled savagery and the strong…

To start out, I have had a love for music as long as I can remember. I believe my love of music originated from my mother, who was teaching me music by the age of 2. My love of music has sprouted over the years with 11 years of choir, 3 musicals, and 1 year of select choir. Now I don’t consider myself the best singer in the world; however, I was begged to be in Beauty and the Beast as a chorus member if that says anything to my singing ability. To the say the least, I have a love for music;…
