A University Of Southern Iowa College Student

“A Music Faculty Recital” at Prince George 's Community College was actually the very first concert I’ve been to that included Baroque style. The environment created a nostalgic yet modern and elegant mood; something that made you feel like you were in the late 1700’s yet still in modern times. The songs were mostly enjoyable and we 're all well played. This concert included an ensemble: the flute, the cello, the piano, and the harpsichord. Peggy Bair, who played the flute, was very enthusiastic. Irma Cripe, who played the cello, was quiet for the first part of the concert but gradually became more important throughout the concert. And lastly, the virtuous Gary Kirkeby, who played the piano and harpsichord, served as the backbone of all parts of the concert and made this concert very enjoyable.

As a University of Tampa freshman, I would have never guessed how much progress I could have made as a writer in class FYW 100, taught by Professor Birnbaum. Coming out of high school from one of the most prestigious, well-known schools in the nation, gave me an ambiguous amount of certainty to receiving an A in her class. Before beginning my journey in college, Jesuit, which was a college preparatory high school, gave mandatory four-year English courses to every student. With that being said, there was no doubt of me coming into freshman year of college with high confidence in my English skills.

I wish I could say it still surprises me when I mentioned to people that I attended an HBCU (Historically Black College/University), some of them have no idea they exist. Often, it turns into a conversation starter, which usually evolves into a meaningful educational moment about the history of HBCU’s. However, occasionally I find myself becoming frustrated when ask the question “why” in a way that questions the validity and or need for HBCU’s in 2016. As a student at Hampton University I did not fully realize the impact it would have on me, but looking back, it is clear to me that those experiences have shaped who I’ve grown into today, and strongly influence to my desire to pursue a career in environmental science education.

As a student of Full Sail University I am completing the course of Audio Production. Growing up music was always an escape for me. My childhood was not perfect and sometimes the only thing I felt that could help me escape reality was music. Knowing how to sing, rap, and produce music by the age of 16 was my get away from the world. Developing the skill without a degree is one thing. I am attending Full Sail University to further my knowledge in this area of work and to also better my skills. Music is a major industry to work in. Not stopping there I also love to have my own brands and labels with all areas of work. This is why I look up to O’shea “Ice Cube” Jackson Sr. Ice Cube has come a long way from the 90’s. From making music to

The performance program was chosen to stretch the soloist in ways unfamiliar and uncomfortable while still showing abilities previously acquired. The program is as follows: The Osborne Rhapsody for Bassoon by, Sonatine by Alexander Tansman, Concertino by Paulo Mignone, Bassoon Sonata by Gustav Schreck, and Hungarian Fantasy by Carl von Weber.

The concert, “Masterpieces by American Women Composers!,” was held in the Horace C. Cabe Great Hall Regional Arts Center. The concert was a semiformal event with about 30 people in attendance. The pianist who performed that night was Dr. Linda Holzer, who is a professor of music at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and she performed on a baby grand piano. She is from Chicago and has many degrees in piano performance from three different University’s, the Northwestern University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Florida State University. Dr. Holzer has performed in many different countries including China, Slovakia, Australia, and New York. The pieces that Dr. Holzer performed that night

From an early age, I have known that one of the things I am passionate about is helping people in different ways. Because of that, I have taken the determination to study a career in which I can help and serve the people inside and outside of any job aspect, for that reason, I chose Nursing as my major and I was determined to not only be a Registered Nurse but a Nurse Practitioner. In addition, I am currently a dual enrollment student at Polk State College Gateway Charter School with a determined mind to reach my maximum potential, being a person who does not conform to the good but to the excellence. In fact, I'm proud to say that I started my undergraduate studies when I was fifteen-years-old, and I'm pleased to say that Polk State College has been an institution that has given me the access to an advanced field of education and the means by which I am achieving my personal and academic goals.

The concert I will be reviewing was performed by Gregory Sauer (cello) and Eric Jenkins (piano) as part of the UTRGV Patron of the Arts Guest Artist Series, which began at 7:30 PM on Monday, October 3, 2016 in the TSC Arts Center Performance Hall. This well-rounded program included modern works from the 20th Century as well as works of the Late-Romantic and Baroque eras. Sauer 's style and expression varied according to the piece he was performing; however, the principle elements of his virtuosity remained unaltered throughout Monday night 's performance. These foundational practices are what made each articulation and individual piece not only well-understood, but (and more importantly) consistent.

An evaluative letter will be submitted electronically directly from the writer, Dr. Annie Randall, Professor of Music.

I am currently a student at California State University, Stanislaus for many reasons. Social forces have strongly impacted and influenced my decision to attend CSU Stanislaus. Societal factors such as social institutions, cultural norms, personal values, historical place and time, globalization, and the roles of social class, race and ethnicity, and gender all have played a role that has shaped my life in one way or another.

     On Sunday, December 07, 2003, I attended the Mozart and The Height of Classicism concert that was held in the Lincoln Theater of the New World Symphony orchestral academy. Conducted by Nicholas McGegan featuring pianist Robert Levin. There were two pieces of music during this concert, one of the movements was performed by the pianist alone as a solo, Mr. Robert Levin. The program’s title was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Chaconne from Idomeneo. The first piece was Concerto No. 24 in C minor for Piano and Orchestra, K. 491, Allegro, Larghetto, and Allegretto. The second piece was Symphony No. 36 in C major, K.425, “Linz”, Adagio-Allegro spiritoso, Andante, Menuetto-Trio, and

On Friday November 3rd I had the pleasure of attending an evening of Opera titled Love Through the Ages with Maria Fortuna and Nancy Townsend at the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre. Having never been to an Opera performance I had no idea of what to expect and was looking forward to this new experience. Fortuna was accompanied by multi-faceted pianist Nancy Townsend. These two musicians showed tremendous expertise and were able to keep my attention through the extent of the program.

Firstly, the audience heard “Saints Without Tears” by Libby Larsen. This feature was composed in 1976, and has five movements of music. At the College, Suna Gunther sang soprano voice, Yvonne Chavez Hansbrough performed on flute, and Susan Loegering Daves performed on bassoon. The first movement titled, “The Temptations of Saint Anthony” contained small sections of sixteenth and thirty-second notes in the flute part that ascended up the scale. There were also many trills in the flute part, creating a very rapid note pattern. The meter of this movement is 6/8, so it therefore has a “leaping feel.” The score dictates the tempo of this movement as Allegro, or dotted quarter-note equals 96. This quick tempo made this movement sound very lively and bright. Dynamically, this movement included multiple sforzando-pianos in the bassoon part, which tells the bassoon player to play very loudly and then quickly drop down to piano all on the same note. This movement had very frequent dynamic changes throughout the flute part, as well. This creates a lot more intrigue rather than having the performers remain at one dynamic level. Generally, the texture of this movement appears to be homophonic because there are many times in which the flute and bassoon parts have the same rhythms, while the soloist has an entirely different set of rhythms.
