Like the trumpet, the trombone is thought about a round birthed tool given that it has comprehensive parts of tubes, mainly in the slide part, that are of constant dimension. Tone trombones generally have actually a birthed of 0.450" (little birthed) to 0.547" (big or instrumental birthed) after the leadpipe as well as via the slide. The layout of these tapers impacts the modulation of the tool. As with various other metal tools, noise is generated by blowing air via pursed lips generating a…

pull out that pen and paper to write down what they know, experienced, and felt to make into a melody so that others can relate to what they have and know that there is someone out there just like them. When you hear a song what you hear is the instrument and the lyrical components that make up that song and each part is crucial to understanding what an artist is trying to tell as your listeners. Such as when I hear a song that gives me chills I wonder how it is the creator did come up with this…

The Junior Instrumental Recital took place in the Corley Auditorium in Webster on Tuesday March 15. The performers were Paige Burris, clarinet and Tyler, trumpet assisted by Kathy Nenadal & Debra Snodgrass piano and Cheryl Cotter, clarinet. I enjoyed when Tyler Jones, Trumpet performed the atmosphere was very calm. The pitch of some of the sounds were very low and some of them were very upbeat. The harmony of the slow songs he played were incredibly beautiful. My favorite music selection had to…

During spring break, on the days of April 5th-10th I took a vacation trip to Panama City Beach. While I was there I had the opportunity of going to two concerts, one of which was pop. They were extremely entertaining and informative. I would tell anyone who has the opportunity to partake in such activities to take the chance so they would not have to regret not going later. During the Pop concert, while listening to the singers and the band play, you can tell that they played with how the…

organized. The name of the production comes from the colorful costumes that cause the dancers to look like a kaleidoscope. With the incredible, inspiring ballet, the music also had a huge effect on the show. Boston Ballet’s orchestra consists of many instrument, including two flutes, a piccolo, a oboe, a bass clarinet, two english horn clarinets, a bassoon, two trumpets, three horns, six trombones, four timpanies, a harp, three pianos, two bass, four cellos, four violas, and fifteen violins!…

was the best played instrument of the night. The güiro was being played by one of the females. She was incredibly good at it. Small instruments like the güiro, the claves tambouring or maracas don’t really stand out much, but this lady made it happen. In-between songs, she was switching back and forth from the metallic güiro to the traditional and one. She was really good with both, but she was better with the metallic güiro. I was really impressed by it. The bigger instrument were played by the…

I mentally groan when I realize that my neon yellow sports bra was visible underneath my black orchestra dress. There had been little time for me to change after I finished winning both my singles and doubles matches before rushing to the auditorium. Not to mention that I still had to help friends study for the physics and chemistry tests after this. But as the orchestra strikes the first note, I smile softly - I would not trade this for anything else. At Northwestern, I would not have to. With…

Some people believe that walking around a field while playing notes through an instrument doesn’t use prowess or energy. Some simply believe it’s just not “sport like.” Jerod Smith, (2015) band director at Granville High School said in an interview “I believe that it is as athletic as many sports but that it is not actually a sport”(Smith)…

When I was first presented this task I questioned my ability to describe, and fully understand music. I have had a love for music since I was born, and have been playing it consistently since the age of five. I played alto/soprano saxophone in band for over eight years, and was drum major my senior year of high school. Not once in any of my experiences of living through music have I ever questioned my understanding of it, until that is, I was asked to describe and analyze pieces in the form of a…

On the evening of February 21, 2018, I attended a Jamey Aebersold live jazz concert featuring Howard Levy and Chris Siebol at the music building at UIC. Since, I had never been to a jazz concert prior to this one, I did not know what to expect, but since it was my first time, I was excited. In my opinion, the evening’s program was nicely presented. The musicians started by introducing themselves, Howard Levy, an American multi-instrumentalist who switched off with playing the harmonica and the…
