advanced than the beginner students, teaching them has to be really particular in how to develop the student. It is first important to gauge exactly where the student is in their play level. You should inspect their form and how they approach the instrument. When they are playing snare drum, evaluate the strokes and height of their playing. While a student maybe great in their execution of a piece, it does not necessary mean their form matches their playing level. The same rule applies for their…

assigned to play the oboe, a woodwind instrument in the double reed family and, arguably, one of the most difficult instruments to master. I didn’t know then, but I later found out that this activity would push me out of my comfort zone and learn not only challenging sonatas and melodies, but also life skills I would need to achieve my goals.…

learned to play and actual instrument in third grade, the violin, although I wasn't as enthusiastic about that as I should have been. In fourth grade, I undertook flute lessons, sticking with that ever since. Most of my time was spent practicing, and I was even able to join my middle school's advanced band in sixth grade! I auditioned for every honor band I could manage, being able to actually perform in a good amount of them. It seems as though the flute was the instrument I was born to play.…

Music is defined as "The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds to produce beauty of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, and expressive content." But music isn't really a science, we can all create music. What one person perceives to be beautiful in the terms of music, may be seen as screeching Devil’s music to others. Music is more than a science or art; it is expression, and it is soul. Any man or woman with a tone deaf partner knows how crazy someone can sound while singing. Yet…

The lute, the most prolific instrument during the 16th century, was “in almost universal use in western Europe” because it was treasured for its ability to arouse emotions through its “expressive and finely shaded tone”. Since the lute was so prolific during the Renaissance period “it is one of the first instruments for which we find any large quantity of written music” in which polyphonic singing and secular songs as well as dances were merged together. The lute, because it was so prolific,…

I always have liked music, even though I may not be the best at it. I grew up in a normal family, my mom played flute in her high school band and my dad played saxophone for about a week. 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…

crazy to me. When I play my instruments, I love being able to make a unique story with sounds. When I’m feeling down, I’ll just pick up my violin and start practicing. I also enjoy being able to play competitively and collaboratively. It’s really easy to meet new people since there are so many opportunities with music. In my poster there are instruments like the french horn, piano, and violin. I play both and have for a while now. I love being able to play many instruments and will continue to…
