At the time of 6:33 and 7:20, the tune was very different than before. In my mind, the tune sound more like the Turkish March. The tune was very melody in this part and bought more enjoyment for the audiences. The fourth part of the music is Ugly Duckling. The rhythm in this part was fast and lively. The scene in my mind is a family of ducklings walk in a line. And then the rhythm became stranger…

The orchestra was centered on the stage with warm lights on. The conductor’s stand was centered in the middle with violins and cellos surrounding him. The atmosphere was tense as opposed to relaxing because everyone seems to be listening very intensively to catch all the tunes and notes. As I sat there, I felt overwhelmed by the number of people, the bright lights on stage and the music, which was not immediately communicating with me. However, the longer I sat there, the uneasiness of being in…

jazz recordings were regarded as “the most spectacular failures of the jazz club scene” in the liner notes(“Miles Davis”). Later Davis became the representative figure in hard bop, that “use[s] slower tempos and a less radical approach to harmony and melody” compared with bebop, but differs from cool jazz by “virtue of a harder beat and by its constant reference to the blues”(“Miles…

that someone is heartbroken is just as equal as being bullied. Hurting someone makes them feel really bad that their heart beat is going at the speed of light due to their sadness and anger. Both songs “Superman” and “Hopeful” by IM5 and Bars and Melody show the importance stopping bullying that happens everywhere and that being heartbroken hurts more than you can ever imagine but can also be healed.

She has Cerebral Palsy, so she has been stuck in a wheelchair since she was big enough to fit in one. Her disability stops her from talking, Melody often thinks that she’s a ten year old that has never single word in her life.
