“I’ll be Froggy and you can be Ballie,” my best friend, Jillian Creighton told me. Six years ago, the two of us had sat in her living room, holding two items. Eight-year-old Jillian was holding an oven mitt that looked like a frog, and I was holding a colorful beach ball. We began to film ourselves, creating movies together: “The Adventures of Froggy and Ballie!” To this day, we still talk about these silly videos. Jillian and I have been best friends since the second grade, and share many fun…

Marching band has taught me not only to work hard, but to also be a better person. These life skills will help me develop even more through my years at Mercyhurst University. I want to continue to play my flute and piccolo into college because the Spartan Marching Band has given me the drive to do so. Mercyhurst has always had a pep band, but this year is the first year that they’ve had a traditional marching band. Because Mercyhurst University has just started…

The song is light, uplifting, and overall puts the audience in a calm and happy mood. The flute symbolized the princess and the clarinet symbolized the prince, and as they came together, the two were supposedly dancing. Also using violins, the instrumentalists both plucked the strings and used a bow. Consisting of four movements, the piece had…

Indiana; where she grew up in a household full of music. In fact, her grandfather was a musician at the Madame CJ Walker building in Indianapolis. DJ Sunflower's flare for all things musical started for her at an early age as she began by playing the flute in the first grade and continued throughout high school. As a child, she would watch music videos, and she wanted to be like Spinderella, as she thought she was the coolest and wanted to do what she did. She would make mini mixes on cassettes,…

Music from the Pre-Civil war period (early 1800s) was divided into two main types: white music and black music. White music consisted of mostly classical and minstrel music. Black music was mostly religious music; however, there were also some secular black songs.

They always have encouraged me to get involved with music. When I was 4 I decided I wanted to start taking piano lessons. I loved piano from the minute I started playing. I picked it up quickly, I soon learned how to read music. I have very fond memories of learning piano as a small kid, especially of my first…

Dynamics, Harmony, Melody, Texture and Timbre. I will be analyzing the Main Theme song of the show Forrest Gump by Alan Silvestri. The song has no lyrics and is purely instrumental. Some of the instruments I heard (timbre of the music) were the piano, flute, some bell instruments (xylophone), violin, and trumpet. I found that the melody is the main element and is mostly played by the piano, bells and violins/string instruments. The melody is conjunct and smooth. The melody…
