guide website back when I took “Intro to Music” and listened to it very carefully and went back to the YouTube video from when the cadenza began. The instrument that was being played in the cadenza in the beginning was a woodwind instrument called a clarinet. It sounds like the low notes are rich soft sounds in the begging but when the user used the wooden reed that makes it vibrate to create the sound and when he pushed the buttons the sound got louder then it gets lower…

It was my first musical performance in front of the entire school. I felt an immense storm of anxiety rush down me, my feet were trembling, and I could barely get a word out of my clenched mouth. My clarinet was soaked from the sweat. Everywhere I looked, there was either a teacher or a student staring intensely at my direction and all I was capable of doing was looking away. I was terrified to think about what would happen if I made a mistake. Halfway through the performance, I could not take…

“Bizarreries cubiques” a statement used by a french critic to describe the very first works of a soon to be movement. This soon to be contemporary movement would become the most influential movement of the first half of the twentieth century. That statement was used to describe a cubist painters work.

We have been working on our small Ensemble group project. The ensembles are made up of different instrumentation. We did not get to choose our groups so it wasn't always easy to work together. During the project we learned a song all together and perform it in front of the class. Our Song had to have all the right rhythms, articulations, good tempo, and dynamics that stand out. Working in a small Ensemble was difficult at times. It was also very different to work in a mixed instrumentation…

For this assignment, I had the challenge of analyzing the attributes and meaning behind Mozart’s Marriage Of Figaro - Overture. Something that I found very interesting was that there isn’t much repetition throughout the song. There are about 7 or 8 different ideas that are present in the entirety of the song, all very different from each other. It took me a little while to notice because all of the ideas fade into each other so masterfully. To begin, the piece begins with a lot of instruments…

Charlotte Matthews tucked a stray piece of her brown hair behind her ear before continuing to put fragile clarinet into its case. She had been playing the clarinet since she was 8, and she had finally reached her goal of earning a position in the London Symphony. The first thing had done was call her parents, and before she could argue her mother had spent a small fortune getting the best seats available. Standing up swiftly, she pulled the case close to her thin frame and began her journey…
