Upon attending the International Chamber Music Festival Concert, a certain ecstatic vibe could be felt as the performers walked on stage with their musical instruments. The virtuoso’s performed in pieces that contained trios, duets, and quintets; showing the concentration they required when listening to each other. When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other…

37 was my favorite part of the entire night. The concerto starts of with a mysterious low bass sounding melody brought in by the cello section that is echoed by the clarinets and trumpets in a higher octave. Once the cellos and violins enter the space of the sound building within the orchestra, the tempo slows down to a softer, controlled sounding melody that is accented by the quick separated notes played by the flutes.

Arban’s Book I had a trumpet instructor in 7th grade. Chris preached the Arban’s Book like the bible, afterwards I quit because as a 7th grader it was “too hard”.

Davis was an ordinary boy, born and raised in Illinois, United States who created one of the most complete jazz albums of all time called Kind of Blue. Davis’s parents were a big part of his early success, being that his father bought him his first trumpet at the age of 13 and his mother being a music teacher helped Davis express his love for music. By the age of 16 Davis was talented enough to play at local restaurants and bars around the city. Within one year a band called “Blue Devils”…

things I have done in high school. There have been nights when I 've come home, exhausted and defeated. There have also been many days when the whole section locks in. Those are the days that will make you so proud to lead this amazing section. The trumpets goof around a lot and won 't give you the respect you deserve. They will talk back and you will want to slip poison into their cupcakes. Just remember to take a step back and remember how much you love the people in the section. I am unlike…
