Saxophone

In a band, you have many different types of instruments. You have the trumpets, clarinets, saxophones, drumline, etc. Each section has differents amounts of people in them as well. It would be hard for the director to take the time to fix each section to make them as good as they can be, so that’s why the section leaders are good to have. The section…

Most definitely, this was my most favorite piece of music during the entire concert. Once the guest group was finished, the Sacramento State group came to the stage with its conductor alongside with new instruments such as the trombone and the saxophone. Their first piece sounded similar to a Disney music with high pitches. It made me image an evil queen lurking in the darkness. Suddenly, the conductor was switched with another and began to play a piece that sent me the image of an undercover…

At the surface, Dick Hebdige’s Style in Revolt: Revolting Style resembles an informative piece on punk culture. I believe that he wrote the article to take power away from the punk movement. However, he did it in a passive aggressive way. By writing in a passive aggressive way it goes against the punk scene because punks are resembled as openly opinionated. Hebdige does this by making his piece seem unbiased since it seems as though it is only for informational purposes. Hebdige wants to inform…

education is key. Adequate education is what can sever generational poverty. Because I understand this, I have devoted significant portions of my time to the education of others. Whether it’s teaching a 6-year-old how to play basketball, holding private saxophone lessons or creating educational programs for college students, I have always found an avenue to teach anyone who is will to…

Through the years jazz became a widespread music genre enjoyed by whites and blacks alike, though not without injustice during the 1920s. Many jazz bands started to form in New Orleans, combining traditional jazz instruments, such as trumpets and saxophones, with traditionally upper class instruments, like piano and strings (Boundless). With this combination the bands were able to appeal to a wider range of people and begin to transcend the cultural prejudice the dominated american society of…

Louis Armstrong. Louis Jordan was also an actor and a major black film personality. After Duke Ellington and Count Basie, Louis Jordan was probably the most popular and successful black bandleader of his time. Jordan has played all forms of the saxophone, but specialized in the alto, in addition to playing piano and clarinet. In the summer of 1938, Louis Jordan left his manager's (known as "Webb") orchestra to create his own band.…

He Mandu After listening to both versions of the song, I prefer to listen to the second version. The first version it seems out of balance in how everyone was singing. It seemed that the singers on the right side, specifically the one in the red, was doing the most singing. While the left singers to me did not feel as if they were singing as much. I determined this by their gestures and movement of their lips. This is most likely because classical singers are divided into different voice types,…

reverbs and certain colouring effects. Most of the tracks in the final mix session were processed in some way. During this session, compression was applied to both the Kick Drum microphones, Drum Overheads, Floor Tom, both Rhythm Guitar microphones, Saxophones and the Lead Vocal. The Klark Teknik SQ1 were used for everything with the exception of the Lead Vocal which was the Focusrite Compounder Class A. Other effects include Reverb and Autotune on vocals and a Choral/Flanger and Dynamic Delay…

salsa instruments, including timbales, conga drums, a cowbell, and a guiro. Mambo influences were also evident in the instrumentation. With the rise of big bands in the United States, the traditional flutes and violins were replaced with horns and saxophones, and this change was evident with the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra. An important feature of…

Colonel Harland David Sanders was rejected 1009 times before finding someone who accepted his chicken recipe. He failed 1009 times before finally attaining his lifelong goal. What if he had quit after the first rejection? Or after the first 100? He would have settled into the dull routine of every other American, finding something less adventurous and risky to do. Since he was willing to endure 1009 rejections, and had the stamina to continue pursuing his goal, his chicken is now the prized…
