Parry Sound

Waves of sound energy race out from a loud object in all directions and that energy keeps moving through the air until it reaches your ears. That is when you then hear the noise of said loud object. The pinnae (the large outer flaps of your ears), gather all sounds coming from the different directions, they are shaped in a way that allows this. They then go on to channel the energy through into the ear canal. At the end of this ear canal is the eardrum. When the energy, also known as sound…

is the area through which air passes to create sound. It goes as far down as your larynx, up to the tip of your nose and the end of your lips. 2) Regarding inhalation, what might be some reasons that the author cautions not to “really yawn”?

The Advancement in Music What is sound? Sound as we all know is moving air. Essentially, as the eccentric human beings we are commencing the creation of music. Music is the rational organization of time, the more the vibration the higher the pitch, the less vibration the lower the pitch. More importantly, just like any other human aspiration the production of music, has evolved over time. Considering the five foremost musical eras within the time frame of about 1500 years have developed and…

Have you ever wondered what instruments the Greeks had? Well, here is three questions you may ask. How much is the floyera like the flute today? How were the Karamouzis made? And, What is the Daouli? The floyera is a recorder like instrument. Unlike the flute you blow out of the top like a recorder, but it still has all the keys a flute. Yes this is just a fun fact, but the floyera in Greece is also a pastry. This is because it is shaped as the instrument. The main reason why the flute is the…

Richard Wagner’s The Ride of the Valkyries illustrates an overwhelming military force that triumphantly defeats its opponents in warfare. This image is brought about by the polyphonic texture from the wavering pitch of the string instruments, the booming intensity of brass and percussion instruments, and the stable rhythm of low and high pitches. The opening of the song presents a sense of urgency as a stack of three high pitches of a string instrument. A brass instrument sets the prideful tone…

It was a late night at the funeral home, but Jackie insisted on staying behind to finish embalming the local restaurant owner killed in a robbery two days ago. She was the last person left at the funeral home, so it was quiet. She could focus on her work, do the paperwork, and get home before 9:00 pm with any luck. As she began to do her work, she heard a noise. She looked up from her work to listen, but there was nothing. "I'm hearing things", she thought to herself. "I need to get back to…

I believe in determination. When I was younger, I only cared about one thing; action figures. They couldn’t be beat. Although, whenever I see them now or pass them in a store I think about them a little differently. They remind me of the time I learned the skill of determination. As a child, I had a speech problem when it came to my ‘r’s. I couldn’t say words like door or orange properly. For example, door would come out as ‘doe.’ If you consider each movement of your mouth and tongue while…

Everything was fine in my life, and they really, really ruined everything! I don’t care if I go on or not.

"After sitting at the same desk for three years I figured I was beyond seeing anything new. I was wrong." I was wrong because I made a decision that definitely wasn't the right one.... One late night about two years ago I was out walking around thinking about life. That's when I heard someone whisper my name. When I didn't hear it again, I went to go look where it came from. It came from the very dark, very creepy alley that gives me the shivers. I didn't want…

Although we can learn about various facts of prehistoric musical cultures from images and archeological remains, our understanding is severely limited by the lack of written record. Instruments themselves were made out of perishable materials, and few have survived. Luckily, pictures show how instruments were held and played, and in what circumstances music was used. Surviving instruments reveal details of their construction. For example, archaeologists exploring the royal tombs at Ur, a…
