Lutherie; the art of crafting stringed instruments is a skill that dates back to antiquity. Since the creation of the lyre, luthiers have developed many stringed instruments, such as the harp, the violin, and the lute, but, considerably, one of the most important stringed instruments in modern times is the guitar. Guitarists are responsible for shaping a sizeable bulk of modern music via their diverse methods of playing. And this is because of how they are crafted. It truly is an art. What will it take to design a guitar that produces a beautiful sound and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye?

My creative side is my art and my music. I love to create my own world with drawing and I love creating music with my beatbox techniques. Both of these things allow me to express what I am thinking and what I am feeling. They both also help quench my boredom, when there is nothing to do but wait for time to expire. Drawing is more of my focus, because drawing is going to lead me into doing animations, which I want as my career. It is something I believe I am going to enjoy in my future. Beatboxing, on the other hand, is just going to be a secondary thing for me to do, so it is more of a hobby that I will do just for enjoyment, and it is a sort of icebreaker for me. It is more about entertainment when it comes to beatboxing than taking it seriously,

I was happy, I had what I wanted to do, I made a goal for myself and I had reached it. Then band practices started. The other three I didn’t really know and my friends were still playing instruments. Every single practice we would go down far away from everyone else and they would have me work on the same things by myself all the time, while they did other things. If I didn’t get something right away it was assumed I wasn’t going to get it at all. If I asked to be shown something a different way, I was yelled at for not understanding. I went from loving the majorettes to hating them, wanting to be like them, to hoping I never was like that. Band camp was horrible, plain and simple. They gave me two days to learn everything and since they came up with everything they already had it down. I had two awful panic attacks that week, one while we were on the field. The other three acted like they hated me and it wasn’t subtle. I couldn’t do anything with them, and I could barely talk to them without them being patronizing.

I aspire in life to become a band director ,due to my strong passion for music. Band has helped me realize how dexterous I am as a musician. While in the band, I spent a considerable amount of time sight reading and competing at different levels of competitiveness .On the other hand,I also have a strong passion for teaching I am a compassionate person and I love helping others. I believe with the level of talent I have as a musician, my love for music and my passion for teaching this will be the perfect career for me. I am enthusiastic about attending college next fall to expand my music education.

The reason I would love to play for Risen Drums is because of the quality, effort, passion, and love for God that the company holds. Risen Drums is unlike any other drum company. I love how every thing built is custom and has had a great amount of time and effort put into it to bring the best quality and look possible. I really enjoy that there is a company representing Jesus Christ, and is unashamed to proclaim his name. Everything about Risen Drums impresses me, and I would love to be apart of the family and represent such a great company. Majority of my playing time is done in a Church, Church conference, or Bible College so it would be great to bring Risen gear there. I know once all my friends see it and hear about the company and the

As you are well aware I’m writing to you because this is an assignment for my jazz class and you wanted to know more about what I have been doing here on campus. Today is Friday and before I start to explain my day to you I just want to say it was short so I won’t be able to write as much as I have been.

A drum solo is defined as being a instrumental solo played on the drum kit. A drum solo may be preconceived or improvised, and of any length. Rock solos often times have little to absolutely no accompaniment from the other band members and don't necessarily have to stick to the tempo, form or structure of the song. Jazz drum solos on the other hand, often trade fours (or eights or even twelves, in the case of blues) with other soloing instruments and will stick with the form and structure. The 1980's actually saw a decline in drummers recording drum solos because too many drummers had done a lot of solos on record, but that doesn't mean some of the best solos didn't come out in this decade. I put together a list that features 15 well known drum solos from the 1980's.

Drums are a lot of fun to play, and every rock or pop band needs them, so drummers are in ever increasing demand. There are different methods on how to learn and play this instrument. Different sized drums and cymbals are arranged into kits, where a drummer can pick from a variety of sounds to lead or accompany a particular song.

I really love music. I am in both band and choir, along with many other activities such as sports, FCCLA, Forensics, and NHS. I work at the Sonic in Mulvane and absolutely love it along with the people I work with. I live with my dad and step mom and have three older sisters already in college and two younger brothers. My future goal is to go to Cowley College for two years and afterward either attend Friends University or Southwestern College for four years.

One Direction have more released than I count on one hand, Bieber has two, and even Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers had their own Disney 3D versions back in the day. Movies seem to be the next logical step for most artists, and whether it’s the cliché fun of 90’s hits like Spice World or the recent Backstreet Boys movie, loyal fans flock to them.

Music equals life, or the saying goes. I feel if I had dropped out of band I would have missed out on a great experience. The ability to play music is something that will live on in you for the rest of your life. Unlike playing a sport you can't ever get worn out or injured and lose the talent. All through school I played sports from baseball to soccer, sure it was fun but it was never my calling, but just being able to play music for a live audience is a feeling that is so amazing there are not enough

The film “The Tin Drum” is a German movie made in 1959 based off of the novel written by Gunter Grass. This story begins with the birth of a interesting boy named Oskar Matzerath who turns out to be born with full intellect and knowledge of the world around him. With this self-understanding, he decides on his third birthday, after getting a toy tin drum, that he will fall down the stairs to the cellar in order to make himself never grow again. After this fall that is exactly what happens and through the film thereafter you see him as a three-year child always playing or carrying his toy drum in order to deal with the traumatic events of his life. When analyzing this film the key recurring theme is the deaths of Oskar’s loved ones which affect him as a person and his decisions to cope.
