Musical instrument

too loud and not too bright. Still sounded good though. Later on in some of the other songs they had different timbres. The instruments did not really change but, in a few of the songs they used mutes. I do not know they different types of mutes, but I did hear the difference and see them. I like it when they use the mutes. It is like they play with a different instrument, it changes that much. As for instrumentation, throughout the whole concert they used trumpets,trombones, and saxophones for…

concert, it was very interesting hearing the fourth movement, as we had been focusing on it so much in class. Hearing it live was a significantly different experience. The whole symphony was in front of me, and I could feel the air moving as their instruments sounded together to produce the melodies that Beethoven himself wrote out. It was very familiar hearing the slowly ascending scale at the beginning of the fourth movement, but also very different. It was unlike any time I had listened to…

still continued practicing the trumpet but I also wanted to use my free-time to learn a new instrument and so, during senior year, I decided to learn the violin. I have always loved the timbre of the instrument but since my high school did not have an orchestra, I had to learn to play through self-learning and private-lessons. I was excited to learn the violin; however, my progress was slow. Though my musical background gave me the foundation needed to read sheet music and learn notes quickly,…

simulate the function as both test administrator and client of this instrument. There were three important lessons I have taken away from this exercise: first, progression through the administration process remained tedious, but was needed in order to aid in the client’s comprehension of the tool. Secondly, the client’s utilization of the instrument helped the administrator to counsel the client effectively. Finally, the instrument itself is only as useful as the client is honest, and the…

unique and special. The venue advertised the evenings event with Will Fisher as the special guest drummer from Toronto. The band did not make any introductions until after their second song, allowing themselves to introduce themselves with their musical talent and to get everyone’s attention first. I didn’t find out if the venue provides free food and drinks to the band, but it was clear that all the band was constantly drinking. Each band member was drinking prior to their first song and some…

symphony orchestras. Of course it makes sense now because I am studying music to make it a profession, but even when I was young, there was something special about seeing a live orchestra concert. All throughout my childhood, my grandma would take me to musical events, such as Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concerts. I asssume this is a major contributor to my love of music in general, but there is just something special about hearing a piece of music that is hundreds of years old being brought…

fortunate for. My mom made me play the Cello and the Percussion in the band up until I was in ninth grade. I also played the drums on the side up until then as well. I would play in various concerts, practice for countless hours, and spend time studying musical notes and sheets. A few times I did some solo work and was able to play both the cello and the drums before crowds. This helped me with social confidence and to this day I do not get “stage fright” or struggle to talk in front of people.…

Name of singer and instruments played. The singer I will be doing my assessment on is J.cole, J.cole was highly influenced by more electronic artists so most of his instruments are equipment like beat pads, the keyboard and of course his voice. Just because his music is mainly loops and sounds doesn’t mean there are no drums and such involved, he often uses drum loops, guitar samples etc… Brief Biography. J.cole, also known as Jermaine Cole has had an extremely tragic life, he was born at a US…

it and he was waving it around and the way it was flying through the air around him just looked so spectacular. Another piece that I really enjoyed was Who I’d Be from Shrek the Musical written by David Lindsay-Abaire. The thing I really liked about this was the fact that Ben Crawford actually played Shrek in the Musical on Broadway and he was there to perform the piece for us. I thought the orchestra did a great job on matching the rhythm and volume of Ben throughout the piece. Both Ben and…

Introduction The repetitive nature of playing a musical instrument may cause a musician to experience discomfort, pain, or injury during the course of their life. This pain is often the result of repetitive movement or overuse of the tendons, nerves, and/or muscles referred to as a repetitive strain injury. One common repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs due to constant pressure and irritation of the carpal tunnel. For a serious musician, the occurrence of repetitive…
