I Complain My favorite part of the day is when I walk into my band class. Immediately, I can hear the loud sounds of a boisterous saxophone playing their part or the lilting sounds of a flute practicing their solo. These sounds fill me with happiness and they help to lift my mood. I love being in band. I have been a part of band for six years now and I love it even more every year. I enjoy the exhilaration of the performance, or joking around with my clarinet section. I am delighted that I…

The first selection of the evening was Band of Brothers by Micheal Kamen. This song has an intense melody with rhythmic harmony throughout the performance. The song has a very uplifting tempo that drove it along. Near the end of the song, the tempo slows down and then picks back up to create a grand finale. The triumphant sound created by the percussions was very influential to me, and made me think of unity. As the different instruments meshed together to create a beautiful sound this caused me…

In regards to children’s education, teachers play an important role. Since the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in 2002, many people have been concern about children’s learning and academic achievement, especially parents and educators. In fact, teachers are always trapped in “teaching dilemmas” because each teaching method has different levels of pros and cons for students. Wiggins and McTighe (2005) suggested that for all of the choices that teachers have during a day of…

Artistically speaking, I have never been very affluent. There was never much involvement of art in my early life, my parents were busy blue-collar workers and often saw art as a shiny unnecessity. As I grew though, I often found myself drawn to the artistic talents of others, slightly green with jealousy because of my own lack of abilities. Naturally I made peace with this, and now I am drawn to all sorts of exhibitions and artistic expressions. Given that I had just recently visited the Harn…

My first concert I attended was at Linnaea 's cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo, it was my first time going to Linnaea’s and watching the jazz performance. The band that was playing were young adults from the cuesta music program.

Linnaea’s is a very small cafe, and the jazz room was full, so i was sitting in the…

Arvizu- 14 April 2016 Jazz is a type of music that branched off from ragtime. Jazz is faster paced music that is desired for dancing. Jazz became popular New Orleans and was known as “ratty” or “gut bucket” music. The spread of jazz took some time and not everyone approved it. Jazz offers musicians to express themselves through playing. Without jazz, other genres in the late 20th century would not be possible. Jazz let musicians have a voice in their creation of music. What I learned from the…

The Arts: Good for The Future or a Great Distraction? Over the years, the arts have always been used to model beauty to make the world a better place. The arts were always used as a sense of expression for mind, body, and soul. This world is full of art. If you cut arts out of schools, you cut arts out of the future. The future looks dim for the arts and we can change that today. Even though some people believe that schools need the money they use during cutbacks, schools still need to…

Music has a long history of many positive proprieties such as but not limited to the reliving of stress, the gathering people or at times a sense of healing. The music of today may seem just as simple as the listener wants it to become yet with a simple beat, music takes on a life of itself. With the simplicity of life relating lyrics for a new upcoming artist or a musical veteran music is able to calm the insider most parts of a person even when we are partial listening. Yet it cannot be…

instruments included in the orchestra. The music that was played came from mozart, Debussy, and many others. The atmosphere of this concert was very formal. The musicians were wearing dresses and suits. The music that was picked was also formal because they were from famous musicians. Carnegie made the atmosphere feel serious. Musicians were there to show off their skills and play the best they could. The crowded always responded at the right times in the music so they must have been a…

filled with broken dreams and sullied minds. This is the world without art. Earth takes breaths of life and joy because we strive to create. The world needs art, not for survival, but for the sake of its people. To rephrase: humanity needs art. Art and music help to fuel the brain, these fields of creativity are challenging and meddle with the way humans think. Art is healthy for the mind, and beneficial; yet, some believe art should be cut from public education. Never has art taken away from a…
