The physical perception of music is described as…

I attended a jazz band concert that was held at Cosumnes River College by the music department. I do not know how to play an instrument, but I like to listen to people play.

I've played the clarinet for seven years. When I first started playing the clarinet I was in the sixth grade I wasn't very good. In fact, the only reason I had joined the band was because my friends and I didn't get into the same elective; they'd been forced into band, while I was one of the lucky few who'd gotten into computer science. The thought of being separated from my friends did not sit well with sixth-grade me and that's why, at the beginning of sixth-grade, I found my self sitting in…
