The performer in the music used traditional instruments called the medieval fiddle. The medieval fiddle also called the vielle was the most popular instrument for both religious and secular songs in Western Europe in the 11th to 16th century. The texture of the music is monophonic. This is because there only one sound also called the melody but has no accompanying harmony. Also, the sound is played at a fixed interval of time. There is the use of the drone in the music. The drone in the music…

The hostile staccato of the conductors’ demands cut through the pressure that was quite apparent in the Rice University concert hall. Sweating and focused, my orchestral troop fought through every movement of Tchaikovsky's romantic escapades and Mozart's baroque form of music. I treated my high school career as an unending overture full of experiences that created the composition of my life. From the presto of various HOSA competitions and the steady andante of missionary work, life has become…

The beginning of the concert featured a digital presentation that questioned what "appropriate" music should be considered and who has the authority to decide what should be…

Eight marching drums menacingly stand surrounded by the dim light of flickering fluorescent bulbs dangling above. The new recruits enter the room and slowly walk to their respective drum—their new homes for the next hours. All members stand with wide eyes and unstable posture. They nervously wait for the tech’s commands. The room encompassed in a seemingly endless silence. The tech sounded off and the new drumline members stepped off in perfect time and began the never ending, never moving…

I finally had enough of this and decided the best thing to do would be to find another piano teacher. My second teacher was very strict and…
