Flute

“Hello,” the person who was auditioning me muttered. His name was not important enough to remember. “I focus on violin mainly, but I am here to audition you today.” I’m just saying that violins and flutes mainly have one thing in common: both instruments focus in treble clef. There isn’t much of a similarity of how one plays each instrument. One requires lungs, while other requires horsehair. The man auditioning me wouldn’t be able to tell my strengths…

put his hope on Biff. The flute music that is drifting in and out of the play is a symbol of the faint link between Willy , his father and the outside world. The Loman family used to made flutes, and they were able to make a good living by simply traveling around the country and selling them. This helps to build Willy's career as a salesman, but It also underused his talent for building things with his hands, which could have meant a more successful job for him. The flute music is the sound of…

concert. It started off with a bang. The most prominent instruments were the french horn, the flute and the violin. The beginning of the introduction resembled an ancient tribal call with the use of indefinite instruments such as the triangle. The timpani allowed for crescendo and a…

Concertino, so just play the other one,” he explained to me, but he didn’t seem sure. “And don’t forget that no matter which piece you play, you can always be bumped down to a lower level of orchestra.” I nodded my head showing that I understood and put my flute up to my lips, ready to play. The worst part of my audition at Midwest Young Artists was that it was on video tape. Well, not the kind of tape that would get me internet famous on Youtube, but the kind of tape where Midwest Young…

Moment's later Sarastro finds them and tells Pamina that one day she will find her freedom. When Monostatos returns and brings Tamino with him. Tamino and…

was about to hear, I took the time to look at the setup of the stage. All of the chairs were angled into a semicircle formation, centered around the conductor 's stand. On the left hand side, were the violins and other string instruments with the flute, oboes, and clarinets in the middle and the heavier sounding cellos on the right. One of the key components in the…

with Scheherazade’s story, intensifies as dynamics grow louder and pitch climb higher. The story transitions to 3:17, with a calmer, gentler shift with the clarinets and flutes and a cello solo. This marks Sinbad in discovering a new area after the tumultuous tides. The horn takes over the melody, playing an interlude between the flute, oboe, and clarinet, all in a relatively quiet dynamic. However, the story must go on as Scheherazade’s voice is spoken once again at 4:07, this time in a more…

dynamic change and even more volume in general. However, the underlying percussion part gave the section an energetic, upbeat feel. At measure 91, the flute countermelody and the trumpet melodies were not together at all. The flute section could have listened to the trumpet section more, as their notes outlined the main melody. At measure 114 the flute soli sounded very blended and clear, and when the rest of the band came in at measure 122 it sounded very natural. They did not ruin the gentle…

One common repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs due to constant pressure and irritation of the carpal tunnel. For a serious musician, the occurrence of repetitive…
