Who’s hairy? Hey that’s me! My full name is Helen Su. That’s it. No middle name. Only 7 letters. The reason is probably cause my parents were to lazy to make it sound pleasant, perhaps that’s the reason why im extremely lazy. On typical weekends, I would sleep until 3 pm. That’s when my mom gets off work. However, that’s only on weekends, on schools days I am on time, rarely earlier. I would only be on time because I want to do well in school and become successful when I get older. I have to…

The song is for the purpose of a dance between two characters usually,…

song by the OCU symphony must have been many by how well they played this particular piece. It was beautiful how the song started very slow but soon picked up speed.

This song came across as a joyous piece to me, and the symphony did a wonderful job of taking this musical work and playing it like it was…

The Baroque era saw the rise of the violin family and the peak and decline of the viola da gamba. Both families reached such prominence that virtually all other bowed instruments were thrust into obscurity. Early music for the viol was transcribed from vocal music like madrigals, masses, and chansons. These vocal pieces were usually very short and chordal. Progressing into the 17th century fantasias and viol consort music became increasingly popular; the viol consort consisted of 6 viols; two…

I asked whether it would be possible to still be part of a dance and violin ensemble because I didn’t want to lose skills I had already worked so hard to do. Happily, my counselor provided information and the audition requirements for the Dept. of Comparative Arts. Comparative Arts was the newest department, the others being…

year. I walked in and there was a bunch of instruments on the floor. I was told to pick one and sit next to it. Therefore, I sat down next to the most peculiar one, the violin. Next, we went to another room, learned a how to hold a bow, and played a couple notes. From that day, I was hooked. As a result, I continued playing violin for seven years, upright bass for two years, and choral singing for three years. Music was…

century costing at about 27million. Being a member of the string family it is very similar to the violin, they seem to share much of their history. Built to be a larger version of the violin, it was once called the ‘alto-tenor’ violin. To find the correct relationship between the size and volume of sound of the instrument, the makers experimented with different sizes. Stradivari a well known violin craftsmen whom we have learnt about earlier in the year made ten viola’s making them very worthy…

The physical part of the cello same as violin and viola (Liu, 2011).

songs are another part of the technique and varies with each song, which gives each story a different vibe. McKennitt performs songs about adventures and action which would contain the harp or piano as well as an electric guitar and wood flute or violin. The energy in these instruments would get your heart racing and help you to feel the excitement that the characters in the lyrics would be feeling. Some of McKennitt’s other songs had a slower tempo to them. In many of these songs she would play…
