blue" was more like jazz. I felt like the pitch for " The Firebird Finale" was more high than "The C Jam". Also the dynamics for " The Firebird Finale" fluctuated a lot in tone. For the instruments I heard the violin , flute, horns, piano and many more that I quite frankly don't know. I felt like all these instruments brought the song to life. They all played an important role that maybe if they weren't there it wouldn't have sounded as nice. For "The C jam blue" I heard the piano,…

amazing. I sometimes go to orchestrated concerts and the performance that I have seen specifically the NYU Symphony and the performances that these students did, was overall really great and flawless. My favorite piece by far and not because I’m instrument bias was, “The Joyful Escape”. The mini solo the clarinetist had was amazing and she didn’t mess up at that part at all. From “Two Chorales” to “Iona Alma mater” that clarinet played as smooth as it can ever be. I thought that you (the…

Have you ever played the viola? It seems hard and may not fun, but once you practice it, the viola is easy and fun to play. In order to play this instrument, you need a viola, a bow, a case, a sholder rest, and a rosin. Also playing at a concert is not bad as you think. First, you have to be able to hold your viola and bow. To be able to hold your viola you need a sholder rest. Hold the viola upside down with the back facing you and make sure your sholder rest looks like a frowny face. Then…

he thought I should audition for it. Mr.Jones replied, “Yes Logan, I think it would be great for you to play guitar in this.” I signed my name onto the list of people that were auditioning, I wrote my first and last name and my instrument, guitar. I studied the music for countless hours and the night before the audition and that whole night I was restless.…

Hawaiian music began in the mid 1800’s when steam boats began to bring visitors from all over the world to the Honolulu Harbor. The visitors would bring instruments with them just for entertainment, the Hawaiians would then mix their instruments with the visitor’s instruments and, that’s how a new sound was created. The Paniolo in other words Mexican Cowboys also came in the mid 1800’s and they taught the Hawaiians a few tricks on how to play music on a guitar. Also throughout the history of…

In my seventh grade year, I decided to join band. I had known how to play flute, and though I wasn't the best I still enjoyed it so I continued. I played in band in eighth grade, too. The directors had decided since I was so “talented” I should join marching band. I had taken a lot of consideration into that decision and I decided to go ahead and give it a shot because I had nothing better to do and I needed to get in shape, anyways. I had went to the conditioning work outs during the summer…

Blank Banshee makes repeated use of 808 bass drums, sub-bass lines and kick drums, double or triple time hi-hats. He also uses sound effects from computer programs in his songs, such as Skype’s “hang up” sound effect being used on one track. His musical samples are more obscure, taking parts from songs by The Beach Boys and Grandmaster Flash, as well as parts from the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the sounds that Windows 95 and Mac OSX play while booting up, which ties…
