I have always been drawn to classical music since the day I was born. It was in the fifth grade when I decided I wanted to play the viola when middle school started. I’ve been playing for five years now. It wasn’t until freshman year of high school that I decided that I wanted to pursue performing arts as my future. This has become my absolute favorite thing to do and the viola has become my source of security and is the only thing I prefer to do throughout my day. Progressing in the viola has…
piano music, my feeling is very complex and I have a lot of words to say. First of all, I want to appreciate the composer and pianist. That is because both of you created the wonderful music for us. I thank for your contributions to the human race. So I just want to say how much I appreciate both of you and I want to also say that stay strong. History will remember both of you. In the second place, I want to talk about the piano music in some specific areas. This piece of the piano music…
Halloween is a great opportunity to make anything believable, because the world becomes a stage, and everyone has a chance to become their favorite superhero or character. Halloween is awesome because it's a time of year when people can drop their judgmental attitudes and accept one another as they are. A case in point is a Halloween dance party just like the famous Star Wars "scene in a bar" where Chewy and Han Solo find creatures and aliens of all different species laughing and drinking and…

Introduction Almost everybody would say that music plays a very important role in their life, or that they just could not live without music. I could not agree more with them; music is present most of the time everywhere I go, every task I perform. Of course, when I teach music is one of the most important elements in my EFL classes. Students seems to enjoy my classes and the music in them, but what is the pedagogical support behind this practice? Why is music so important in EFL classes? How…
young engineers. They’d set up the experimental unit about five doors down from where Paul now stood, with coin machines and endless belts to do the serving, with germicidal lamps cleaning the air, with uniform, healthful light, with continuous soft music from a tape recorder, with seats scientifically designed by an anthropologist to give the average man the absolute maximum in comfort.…
In the Table 2.5, it would seem that it is translated precisely, yet there are some words changed, thus the idea becomes different than it should be. Using an idiom with the similar meaning but different form should sound very natural in the target language. In Sweeney Todd, the translators managed to achieve a different rendition of the musical piece by using Lithuanian idioms and sayings. In the first example of the table, Lithuanian common saying feels more natural than it would be rendered…
