In 4th grade I decided to try something new. I wanted to plan an instrument. But what to play. I went through the goldilocks stages of picking an instrument. I had it narrowed down to strings but which was just right. Violin? No that's too small, sounds too high, too basic. Cello? No that's too big and sounds too low. I wanted to play Viola. It was just right. The perfect combination of the two and it felt special but in 4th grade no one really knew what it was or even wanted to play it except…

so that it is natural for the musician to explore in detail the musical scale or mode derived from each line, rather than simply focusing on notes accords. The Melodic Section and a Rhythm Section.  Rhythm and swing All features jazz group, regardless of size, a "melodic section" and a "rhythm section".

ritardando a couple of times. The dissonant chords that were used resolved and were played at a slower tempo than the chorus. The mutes were timed perfectly with the rhythm. I liked this cover piece because the clarity and harmony between all the instruments…

lessons a week with a private instructor that cost way more than my family could afford, and eventually, I could play complex and beautiful pieces. I’ve gone through so many instruments and bows that by the time I was old enough to have a job, I was working long hard hours for weeks on end in order to afford to replace my old instrument. Every violin I had was given a name. My first violin was named Charles, after my late grandfather who gave it to me. He was a master violinist, and I could only…

For my musical concert paper I went to see a jazz show that took place in Oakland on Friday October 2, 2015. I saw a performance by The Lost Trio + The Empty Cage Quartet at studio grande. The location where it was held was much more inmate space then I was expecting there to be. It was not too fancy and there was a medium to small crowd there, not like one you would see in a symphony. It was a more informal setting, jazz is a more relaxing and casual form of music, unlike other type of music…

played the saxophone, Raliegh Dailey who played the piano and keyboard, Danny Ceclil with the bass and Paul Deatherage playing the percussion. The introduction musical piece started off with the saxophone as the only voice with a very disjunctive melody. The notes of the saxophone alternating in regular intervals. All other instruments – piano, bass, and percussion joined in as the saxophone stopped alternating notes and played a single long note. The scale of the saxophone was high as it was…

there is a desire to keep the musical pieces created by our ancestors alive. To honor the past, some artists have created new music that reflects the classical and baroque styles. In these pieces, the artists are free to use whichever instruments they please to create their musical effect. When a non-early music ensemble performs non-early music in the modern era, they tend to use the combination of both modern instruments, including strings and winds, and early instrument such as the…

One of the four passions in my life is teaching elementary and middle school students music, primarily through the use of string instruments. I get excited about teaching music because it is important to the human experience. It aids in the creativity and expression of students, teaches important social skills, and encourages working as a team to achieve a goal. But most importantly, it teaches students to enjoy the process of developing a skill and that talent can be increased. Learning in my…
