GOOD Music

students be required to take a music, drama, or an art class? In my opinion they should. One if you take them you learn knew things or techniques. In music you would learn how to multi-task. In drama you would be able to stand up in front of crowds of people and speak or perform, and in art you would learn the different parts of drawing. In this passage you will read through the reasons why i think taking these classes should be required. Me, being a student taking a music class it has taught…

Reading music is key for learning how to play the violin, if you can’t read the notes, then you can’t play the song on the violin. When it comes to reading music you must first know what the lines are called and what notes go on each line. The “lines” in the music are called bars, there are five individual bars and there four gaps between the lines which also hold notes. All of these…

I sat in a crowded auditorium with nothing but my thoughts before I tried out for the Contra Costa County Honor Band. After about two hours I was led into the audition room drenched in sweat with my oboe in my trembling hand. I managed a pretty good audition, but after replaying the audition over and over in my head I doubted whether I would get in. A week later, my band director congratulated me on making principal oboe and handed me Maslanka's Symphony 7, with about 4 parts marked solo in…

asked to define music in my own words. I continued to write in my notebook on the fresh, clean page what I had thought was a creative way of explaining the topic. I had written, “Music is defined as a combination of sounds, voices and beats to make a new stream of varying qualities that are pleasing to the ear based on opinion.” After sitting through several classes I began to realize I had in fact over-complicated the word “music”. Professor O explained to everyone that the music was in fact…

Waltz was a kind of music related to the theme of dance. It replaced elegant but artificial court dance in the old days and reflected the spirit of the new era. Viennese Waltz slightly anticipated the second beat of each measure, making it sound as if the third was late and creating a certain buoyancy. It was popular in Europe, especially in Vienna, because no matter nobility or common people, they liked music and dances. In addition, Johann Strauss I and his son Johann Strauss II were the…

feelings you has before performing disappear when you start performing. You get lost in the music and grace says she just gives it her all. I also asked Grace how important her image was to her and she laughed and told me it gets less important as she grow older. When she was younger she would have cared more, but now she’s just embracing herself and just being Grace. Grace always knew she had a passion for music and always wanted to be a musician, but if she wasn’t a musician she would have…

Lydia Goehr breaks down the question of how music is tied to politics, and specifically addresses arguments of whether it should be or not. The author starts her discussion with a historical example with the inquest of composer Hanns Eisler by the Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC). The author’s intention in presenting this case appears when she focuses on the defense Eisler. He made statements to the Committee that suggested his music was “music, and nothing else,” having nothing to do…

Music education is something that was stressed throughout history starting in the Renaissance Era in the European countries, but now music education for all is in danger of becoming a thing of the past in America. Recent laws passed by the American Congress combined with public disinterest have put music education under fire in recent years. Music education is a vital part of any student’s education. This is because without proper education of the arts, the future could very well be one without…

A band director organizes music, which provide students to enhance their knowledge and learning while in the program. The band director needs to possess good people skills as he works with musicians with a variety of talents and skills. The band director prepares lessons that build on the knowledge base of his or her students and challenges them to do more advanced pieces of music. The band director follows state guidelines for the music program and works to ensure his students meet educational…

The music of the '20s gives off much more meaningful expression from its artists who provide lyrics and also revolves more around non-lyric instrumental style, while nowadays the majority of music that is mainstreamed into society still has some expression but it is merely created by degenerates. Thus what form of expression the music may hold, simply contains nothing but ridiculous outbursts of stupidity and vulgarity. There are still some artists in present day who make decent content, however…
