Flute

Music is something we all enjoy and love listening to. It has shaped this country and the world as we know it. It is important we take a step back and examine how music of all types makes us feel. Histoire du Tango is a piece written for flute and guitar by Astor Piazolla (1921-1992). This piece of of music is very wonderful to listen to. The genre is classic tango but has hints of modernism with the way the composer wrote the piece. Piazolla is a big fan of using the guitar to play a rhythm on the body of the guitar. The flute for the most part is always playing lyrically and with as much musicality as possible. The use of vibrato and body movements was key in order for the musicians to really let us know the mood of the piece. The piece…

When I was a child, I was addicted to orchestral music, and I loved the sound from the flute. I think the flute performs the most wonderful music in the world. Afterward, I started to learn how to play the flute. Producing a sound from the flute can be a little tricky, so you should practice the correct blowing method first before you attempt to play any specific notes, and that’s also why I need more time to practice performing the flute. I spent two hours on practicing the flute a day, and…

trombonist; possibly from the sound needed from the instrument in order for the orchestra to achieve a specific musical sound. As far as any other instruments compared with another, there could possibly be a lower or high demand for the instrument performer. The principle viola in comparison with the next highest paid viola has to do with the level of skill that is maintained by the performer. The "principle" instrument performers are those who simply take the lead like a team leader or…

the sky. The concert had only 6 musicians and one actor who would recite poems from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in between pieces. Most of the instruments were from the string family: three violinists, one viola, one cello, and one bass. The only other instruments involved were the piano, the harpsichord, and the flute. The first piece was from Arthur Foote titled, “Nocturne for Flute and Strings.” I really liked the piece. Each musician had a different part which, when combined,…

to us. It 's hard to articulate the crushing feeling of rejection that comes with a botched audition, when the numbers don 't add up as high as they should and the boxes are filled with helpful comments that only show how big a screw-up it was. I would know, because I 've tried - and failed - to get into Allstate three years in a row. Even though I am also a vocalist, I 've always auditioned as on my flute. With good reason, the hardest instrument to get in for is violin, but the flute comes…

When people think of their mothers some think of memories, traits, or even looks. When I think about my mom I think about her work ethic, her love for family, and her constant support. My mom is one of the hardest working people I know. She never gives up and would always tell my siblings and me to do the same. One memory I have of her is all the many times she would be up late sitting in the dim glow of her laptop working on her masters degree. It took her 2 long years and many late nights…

system where you use a finger, thumb, or quill. Bowing is using a bow- a tool with hair stretched from the end-to strike the strings.

Furthermore, the woodwinds are very interesting also. Woodwinds are instruments that has holes in it and gives off a different sound when the holes are covered and uncovered. These instruments…

struggling to fall asleep due to a consistent flute sounding noise near the “back door” the other girl with her didn’t hear it. Trying to logicise the situation, Jan rationalized the sound to be a wooden flute that another girl bought earlier in the day. But like many other tales, this explanation may not have been the case. When Jan finally fell asleep, she had a dream of a horrible tall figure appearing from the corner of her room, approaching her, and then strangling her. Jan awoke in a…

“Stick to flute” is something I’ve heard from a few people while I was trying new things. Mr. Briem, one of the band teachers, took this the opposite direction and started me on a path to unknowingly end up like him. He encouraged me to explore music; that encouragement drove me in my first three years of high school to develop my musical skills. Briem introduced me to the potential I had for growing musically. He saw something in me that no one else did, and I didn't know at the time, but I’d…
