Have you ever been late to go to school at night because you were working? Band practice was scheduled one night after school from 6-9. It slipped my mind when I was at my job. I accidentally showed up late for practice. I walked into first hour excited about practice that night. I wanted the percussion to win every competition we went to, since that’s how it was last year. The band teacher announced that there would be practice that night and for everyone to show up on time. I…

Introduction The William Tell Overture is an overture to the opera, William Tell, which premiered in Paris on August 3, 1829, and was described by Hector Berlioz as a “symphony in four parts”. However, unlike traditional symphonies with distinct movements, the transitions in this overture were without breaks. This piece was composed by Gioachino Antonio Rossini and was the last opera he composed. Rossini was a transitionary figure of the Classical and Romantic period, well known for his operas…

When I was younger, I was made fun of as a little kid. So when I was in the Sound of Music, I was surrounded by a company that loved me, and I loved them. They were like my second family, which made me realize that this is the type of work environment I would want to work in. A place where people really do love each other and love what…

Water is something pure, as the music that’s coming from a piano; it’s a natural, powerful, and phenomenal element that gives constantly energy to every single thing, even if we don’t notice it. And I see like this music, the piano, the life: something very powerful and sacred, that we don’t have to waste or put it behind our lives if we have it. Another big meaning that…

Music has always been a big part of my life. My mom would always have nursery rhymes playing in the house when we were young. When I was 9 years old I started playing the piano. I have learned to fall in love with playing the piano. I played for 9 years and every year I would start to like it more and more. Now as an 18-year-old I have found a passion for listening to music. Whether it be listening to it while getting ready in the morning, in the car, on a run, I love listening to music whenever…

festival. But more than that it discovered the classic music education can effect positive social change. Gustavo Dudamel prepared for concert with Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra in Caracas. The musicians came from different location, and lives. Most of the musicians not graduate music school, they came from slums of Venezuela.

Jeanie with the light brown hair (published in 1854) by Stephen Foster is performed by a tenor with piano accompaniment. The piano introduces the work with a short prelude starting on a high note then descending in conjunct intervals, briefly ascends from a low note to a note close to F. The piano then varies the prior phrase by descending from a high note with eighth notes then sustaining a note close to A. Following the prelude, the tenor begins the first section on with “I” on the high note…
